Learn The 16th World Champion’s Secrets To
Beating Even The Toughest Defenders
Do you struggle to make progress on the board when tactics and attacking play aren’t in the cards? If so, then you’ll love this free course by two of the finest players of this generation.
Here, you get a sneak peek of
Grind Like A Grandmaster — brought to you by
16th World Champion Magnus Carlsen (peak 2882 FIDE) and
Grandmaster David Howell (peak 2712 FIDE).
In this free course, the duo shows you…
How To Accumulate Small Advantages
And Score Big Wins
When you’re up against tough opposition — and blowing them away with tactical combos is all but impossible — playing for the small wins will tip the balance in your favor.
Improve your pawn structure here. Gain extra space there. Reposition your knight or bishop over to that square. And before you know it, you’ve got a winning position!
It’s the favorite strategy by the pros because it cranks up the pressure… but without the mind-bending complications and steep risks of razor-sharp tactical play.
To show you how it’s done, Carlsen and Howell take an in-depth look at the former’s positional masterpiece in the
2007 Biel Chess Festival.
Inside, you’ll see:
🏆 The Magnus Mindset for steamrolling 2700-grandmasters. Plus, why “clear planning” goes out the window when grinding down strong defenders.
🏆 The “give and take” between abstract positional play and concrete tactics. Get this right and accelerate your win by 5… 10… or even 15 moves.
🏆 A human-friendly breakdown of cold, numeric engine evaluation — turning it into a winning strategy even newbies can understand.
🏆 Where the decisive breakthrough happens in opposite-colored bishop endgames. Knowing this, winning the game becomes a whole lot easier.
🏆 How to freeze the opponent’s pawns for easy pickings later. It’s the favorite endgame move by English grinder Keith Arkell.
🏆 The protective screen. A Carlsen maneuver which shields your pieces as they break through the enemy ranks.
🏆 How to crush passive but solid play. “Sit and wait” defense might have tilted you before. But after this lesson, you’ll welcome it with open arms!
And many more.
It’s amazing how many practical chess insights Carlsen and Howell managed to pack into just one annotated game. So to make sure you don’t miss any of them, you’ll also get
31 minutes of video.
Plus, your trusty Chessable team also picked out
15 MoveTrainer exercises which review the strategies, tactics and thematic maneuvers inside… and turn them into real chess skills.
Free Lesson: Accumulating Small Advantages is a course you can complete in a single watching session. But its skill-building impact on your chess can last a lifetime. See you inside.
