Requirements:

The Open File

Learn to maximise the potential of a rook by controlling the open files and ranks. This will mainly be about doubling rooks, creating batteries, and exploiting weaknesses in the opponent's pawn structure. Players are to learn how to use the rook not as another heavy piece but more like a precise tool in the attack, holding the power to turn your game.

Diagonal Dominance

Master integrating your bishops as part of a bigger plan for creating long-range threats for your enemy. Learn to place your bishops in ways that dominate central diagonals, pinning opponent pieces and putting pressure on the enemy king. The mighty bishop pair is also examined as to how best to use it in the middle game.

The Supreme Attacker

The most powerful piece on the chessboard, capable of changing the tides in a game. This session has to do with using the queen for threats of such a nature that a fellow piece or a combination thereof will be incapable of parrying it effectively, besides allowing the execution of complex combinations. It will teach the learners how to decide when and how the queen-led attack transitions into checkmate.

Knight Attacks and Fork Master

Knights being the most awkward pieces on the board they jump and check from everywhere. This will show players how to make full use of the awkwardness of the knight: how to produce forks and exploit squares from where they cannot be captured in return, and how to facilitate tactical shots by other pieces. In particular, this session will focus on producing a concept of outposts and how they can be used to post knights in dominant positions.

The Unsung Heroes

The king and pawns are too often underrated, yet they can prove to be very potent attackers—especially the king—in the endgame. In this session, we will see how players can utilize the more active use of the king, specifically in pawn storms and attacking formations, while concentrating on pawn structure and how to fashion passed pawns to put pressure on the opponent.

The Art of Evasion

Not all threats need to be met head-on. It's the subtle art of evasion that turns the game. Whether to recognize when it's time to retreat a piece to a safe position or to sidestep an opponent's attack. Boost your understanding of the balance of defence versus counterattack.

Blocking the Blow

Excel interposing tactics—moving a piece between an attacker and its target to render a threat impotent. Minor sacrifices garner major results, Learn how to sacrifice minor pieces to prevent attacks on more valuable pieces and how to set up a defensive move like interposition in advance.

Striking Back

Sometimes the best defense is a strong offense. In this session, learn ways to turn the tables by capturing attacking pieces or using tactical shots to neutralise threats. This session will also look at when to trade pieces to relieve pressure and when to maintain the tension for a counterattack.

Strength in Numbers

An army of one loose nonetheless. Supporting backup for the pieces is very important in defence. This session will discuss how to coordinate your pieces into a defence to ensure that all the pieces are protected, coordinated, and, defending the weaknesses without any accident. Learn how to mount defences, create a fortress, and bolster critical points.

Counter-attack

In the final part of your course, learn how to counter-attack in a game. Learn to recognise moments of overextension by the opponent and turn a purely defensive stance into a winning offence. Master to defend absolutely when the main objective is neutralising threats, with no counter-attack.
