Imagine you have come to a shop to purchase a mobile phone. The shopkeeper gives you a phone with 10 books on how it works and how to use it. The same process is followed in chess learning. There’s a huge difference between knowledge and skill. For example, you can read thousands of books about martial arts, but it doesn’t mean that you’ll become a great fighter. Apart from information, you need to train and acquire necessary practical skills. This is true just as much for chess. That is why, in these seminars, GM Smirnov provides you with a very small user’s manual that has several items you can follow, one by one, to understand chess clearly. Course Content: The seminar covers four major lectures with practical suggestion. In each lecture, GM Igor Smirnov answers all students' questions and provides additional tips to implement in their games. 1. Time to Win 2. Right thinking in chess 3. Smirnov Gambit 4. Art of Planning The course contains around 100 minutes of video lessons and a PDF summery for every seminar topic.

The Ponziani is one of the oldest and most aggressive openings in Chess. It has been all but forgotten largely because it is no longer used regularly at the highest super Grandmaster levels. But if you're rated anywhere below 2600, the Ponziani is a very useful weapon against your unsuspecting opponents, especially in blitz as you aggressively attack the king forcing your opponents to use up more time on the clock! This weapon is effective for many reasons, not least of which is the fact that very few players know what to do against it, which almost always leads to a big attack for white. In this course, you will learn how to dominate your opponent with this very powerful attacking weapon!

There is so much information about chess. Just watching videos is useful, but often is not enough. It's very important to at least have a system which contains some theory and a lot of PRACTICE . Recording this course I tried to solve this problem. This course contains everything you need for real progress. However, in this course, I just point you in the right direction and explain difficult moments. After that, I expect you to solve "homework". It must help you fully understand the information and your level is going to rise. This course is good for beginners (0-1600 ELO), but don't worry if you have little experience because it helps you revise everything, get a system and practice. Of course, if you are 2000+ ELO rating player, this course might be too easy for you. I tried to use a detailed explanation , If anything was still too hard for you, I am waiting for your questions. I want to give you some recommendations: After watching the video, try to solve and figure out all homework. Yes, it's hard but super useful. Try to play chess since module 3. Time control for you is Rapid (15 mins or more). Playing blitz(5 and less) for beginners is just for fun. Don't waste your time. If something easy for you or I am speaking too slowly, make video speed 1.25x or even 1.5x :))) Use subtitles I added to this series. Inside them, I tried to fix most of the mistakes I made during the explanation. I hope you take advantage of this course. I did my best for you. Good luck, and see you at the chess tournaments!

The KING'S INDIAN ATTACK is an old opening weapon that has become less popular over the years as Super Grandmasters have chosen to play it less at the tournament level.
