Why I Created It?

I created the lessons in order to continue the work on Chess Training Program. After study the previous programs you'll like to go deeper with chess education and learn techniques that will help you to play better.

One of the main chess problems is the unsuccessful attacks. The only way to win a chess game is to create an attack against your opponent. You can attack his pieces or his king. Attacking the king is a key strategical subject but if you would like to do it correctly then you should know the basic mating motives. Plenty ideas published on the internet but they can confuse you, as happened to me in the past. I organized them into 10 KEY mating motives that you understand and remember very easy after study the lessons.

It's easy to see an obvious double attack. However, as you play with stronger opponents, you need to CREATE the tactics. This is very important and what you'll going to learn with this training chess program; how to create tactics and win the enemy pieces.

You can learn the most important mistakes that often happen to this level. By learning them, you'll going to understand the situation, why these errors and happen, and of course how to avoid them! Stopping make blunders will boost your performance to the next level.

Last but not least we're going to increase your endgame skills. Endgame is a very important face of the game. If you know how to play at the last phase of the game you can collect very important points and dramatically improve your technique in chess.
