Requirements:

What's Worth a Move? Tempo

Now, tempos are very important in chess, much more so with the use of the Queen. Turbocharge your learning ways and learn how to gain and lose tempo, thereby maximizing each move. Learn how to force your opponent into an awkward defensive stance. Maintain the initiative, and make every move he makes count in your favour.

Simplification- Easy roadmap to win!

Sometimes the key to a winning position with the Queen is just simplifying down to an endgame. This session will teach you how to go about it, when and how to trade down to a winning endgame with your Queen and force some exchanges, frustrating your opponent into making errors when trying to avoid your dangerous position.

Clearance – Avoid Disturbance

Good queens are merely potent with clear lanes; in this session, you will learn clearance tactics, occupying and removing pieces or pawns that impede the maximum potential of a Queen. Those clear paths can let a Queen loose for destructive mating attacks or seeking a strategic advantage easily.

Demolition of the Pawn Structure

The Queen is great at destroying pawn structures. This course takes you through how to use the Queen to tear apart the opponent's pawn formations—how to create pawn weaknesses that you can take advantage of. You will learn critical patterns and ideas for taking apart the opponent's king shelter.

Watch out for the last rank

The back rank is a danger and an opportunity at the same time. In this lesson, you will learn to fight the threats of back-rank checkmating attacks and at the same time, exploit your opponent's weaknesses on the last ring using the Queen. You will learn how to play defence and offence to give power to your Queen all over the board without falling for clever traps. I

Indirect Defence - Done Right

Most of the Queen's defensive manoeuvres are passive, yet powerful. Learn about the next action principle: The Queen defends herself by making counter-threats, controlling critical squares, or by working in combination with other pieces to stop the opponent's actions, not by directly opposing his threats. Watch and learn it for yourself.

Rush! Distract and Victory is Yours

Deflection is a powerful tool in chess, especially with the Queen. You can sometimes use deflection to cause or force an opponent's piece away from its duty therefore creating a decisive advantage. You will learn to spot and deflection tactics that can turn the game in your favour.

What do the Pieces do?

The kingdom is ruled by the Queen but it thrives with the collective efforts of its kingdom. The Queen works best when all the pieces have a part to play. This session brings in the theme of activity of pieces and shows you how to coordinate the Queen with development to better affect.

Don't Forget to Calculate

Be quick on your feet when working with the Queen. This session shows the importance of deep calculation, and how to see well ahead in the future of the results of your moves. Learn to calculate variations properly, leaving no stone unturned, to make sure you haven't missed any opportunities or fallen into a pit.

Ok, We Are Not At a Loss! We Have a Draw

Not every game can be won, but the Queen can help secure a draw when you find yourself in hard positions. This session will go through how to change losing or problematic positions into draws. You will be learning perpetual checks, blockades, and fortresses to save the game when winning is out of reach.
