After laying the groundwork of positional excellence in Volume 1, Volume 2 dives even deeper into the technical core of practical play. This new training course focuses on converting advantages, handling typical endgame imbalances, and mastering essential attacking and defensive techniques. Whether you‘re up a pawn, or striving for activity in a simplified position, the right technique makes all the difference.
In this volume, you’ll study powerful practical concepts such as:
- Endgame technique: Learn to convert advantages with precision and avoid common pitfalls.
- Attacking on the g-file: A modern classic – understand how to seize open lines and build up winning attacks.
- The power of the double attack: Spot tactical opportunities in strategic positions.
- The principle of two weaknesses: How to stretch your opponent’s defence to the breaking point.
- The role of the a- and h-pawn: These seemingly “quiet” pawns can become game-changers.
- Piece sacrifices for sweeping pawns: When to give material to unleash unstoppable passed pawns.
Master your Technique Vol. 2 is a must-have for ambitious players who want to confidently convert “better” positions, or turn equal ones into wins. With structured video lessons and model games, this course builds your feel for how to win, not just what to play.
