Go to Udemy

Train your ability to calculate, visualise and evaluate chess positions

Structure of the course

Kingscrusher presents hundreds of challenges in these tactics Bootcamp to help sharpen your tactical skills and help you find winning tactics and combinations in your real games when you play them with the clock pressures. The Bootcamp features two major sections - play to mate or play to win. Play to win maybe winning a piece in some cases but also does not exclude the possibility of mating the opponent. The first 100 of each section are relatively easier in general than the rest of the section to help you get some confidence and reassurance before getting into the really tough positions.

No pain no gain!

In this Bootcamp, it is advised to spend as much time as you can to really exercise your visualisation, calculation, and evaluation skills with the view of maximum accuracy as a priority.

Revisit as required!

Later when revisiting the exercises you can try and speed up your ability to find the solutions but try and maintain accuracy. Additionally, one should try and get as many valuable philosophical points and takeaways from each exercise as possible to give a better sense of intuition and direction when playing one's own chess games later.

Core chess skills trained

• Visualisation

• Calculation

• Evaluation

It should also be noted that a cynical and brutal winning perspective should be employed when using these skills in real games when there is pressure against the clock. For example, playing practical moves is often a requirement in real games until one really senses there is something there and then it becomes more justified to find a winning combination.
