CLEARANCE - Think Like a Master - WGM Julia Ryjanova
Do Grandmasters know magic? It can feel like it sometimes! When those top-level grandmasters play those quiet moves that make no sense to someone like you… Don’t those hard-to-fathom moves feel magical when they suddenly end up getting the player a huge endgame advantage? And his opponent almost lost – left figuring where he went wrong? The truth is, it might not be magic after all. But they do think differently. No, it’s not about how many moves they can calculate. But it’s more about asking the RIGHT questions… questions a lower-rated player usually misses. To help you understand how those top-level players think and decipher chess, we bring to you WGM Julia Ryjanova’s course Think like a Chess Master… This is an 11.5+ hour video training that covers everything from the Tree of Analysis to Order of Moves to Non-typical trading, almost every possible aspect of chess that separates a top-level GM from an 1800-rated player.

This is an 11.5+ hour video training that covers everything from the Tree of Analysis to Order of Moves to Non-typical trading, almost every possible aspect of chess that separates a top-level GM from an 1800-rated player.
Here’s what you would learn:
King’s pawns. The BEST way to provoke weakness in the enemy camp? Make him push those pawns forward in front of the king. Nothing better than some “holes” around the king.
Delaying castling? Who knows your opponent might just sacrifice a piece to open up the center and bring the war to you. Just like Euwe did to Landau in the 1939 Netherlands match.
Attack when ready. Sensing the tactical opportunity is important. Don’t just launch the attack yet. Instead, plug the gaps first. Close every escape door for your opponent.
Stopping counterplay. You see an open file and a deadly combo to make your opponent bite the dust… but what if your opponent has got an ace up his sleeve? Find that out first.
Pawn exchanges. Taking a different pattern of pawn exchange? Calculate hard and fast, and make sure you end up ahead. Perhaps, give your opponent a hapless isolated pawn?
This training is by a top-level player who was ranked in FIDE’s top 50 highest-rated female chess players in the world during the early 2000s.
