New Mastery Course: Using Time In Chess
Do you find that you sometimes miss opportunities to punish your opponent when leading in development?
This week we are proud to release our new Mastery course, Using Time In Chess by GM Simon Williams.
GM Williams shows you how to smell opportunity knocking and take the pawn by the horns. Learn how to speed up the game and punish your opponents for their incautious play!
Course Outline
This course features four lessons dissecting different aspects of tempo it use. While GM Williams intended the course to be completed in the following order, users can complete lessons in any order they choose.
A Favorite Puzzle
Every lesson features both a video and five challenge questions to help you test yourself on how well you retained some of of the core points and positions in the video. Test yourself with one of our favorite challenges from this course. Here's Peter Svidler winning an excellent game against a young Magnus Carlsen. How could he have concluded the game (had he selected this variation) beautifully and incisively?
