Play Unconventional Chess and Win

Break all conventions and completely reimagine the board

There are uncountable amounts of books teaching you basic chess principles and fundamentals.

These fundamentals form the bedrock of modern chess theory, and every player needs to be acquainted with them, no doubt. But how often do we see grandmasters and other strong players routinely breaking these principles and getting away with it?

Play Unconventional Chess and Win takes a look at the moves that violate these axioms. Moves that contradict "old chess.”

Computers have changed the way we look at chess. Moves that 50 years ago would have been written off for being unsound are getting a new appraisal. After all, chess theory is constantly evolving, and the top players need to play creatively.

That's exactly what this course will teach you to do. It aims to teach you to be more open-minded and reassess seemingly "bad" positions and see the board in a whole new light.

Some of the insights you'll receive:

♛ Turn "dead squares" into a lively springboard to activate your pieces- for example, by intentionally blocking your bishop from the game to not interfere with major piece play

♛ Reconsider nominal material and positional values and develop a flexible approach to these values- is a knight on d6 really the "thorn in the flesh" you've been taught it was?

♛ The power of "uncoordination"- see that you have compensation by placing the bishop on d3 and blocking your d4 pawn, preventing development of your dark-square bishop

All of these concepts, and more, are illustrated by exercises taken from groundbreaking model games played by various grandmasters over the years, such as Garry Kasparov and Magnus Carlsen.

A scientific approach to playing creatively

The course is co-written by two authors, Noam A. Manella and Zeev Zohar. Manella works in the field of Attention Management, examining how the human mind inputs, processes, and outputs information. He is a foremost expert on creativity, and his goal with this course is to teach you how to play creatively by reconsidering everything you've been taught.

Zohar, a self-described self-learner, has been playing chess his entire life, so self-taught chess players will surely benefit from his analysis.

A chess study composer himself, Manella sought out input from various great chess minds for this innovative course, such as former World Champion Vishy Anand. To make this course airtight, GM Ram Soffer collaborated with Manella on the course as a chess adviser and analyst.
