Dear Chess Friends, A very special thing happened to me last night. I wanted to play one more blitz game online, so I clicked on the 'Play' button and the system gave me Fabiano Caruana as my opponent! At first, I couldn’t believe my eyes, so I needed to check his username three times, but it was true… I was so excited! We played a crazy game with a wonderful checkmate at the end, that was a huge experience for me, so I wanted to share it with you. I made a video analysis of it, I hope you'll enjoy the game! You can watch the full video (20 mins) with a FREE subscription on my Patreon channel here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/my-crazy-game-121561642?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link I hope you'll find it useful.

Dear Chess Friends, Chess is a very complex game. It’s not enough if you know the openings very well or you learn a lot of tactical motives. You’ll always miss things if you don’t use a structured thinking method, that’s the basis of everything. I worked out a system what I also use in my own games and that’s what I would like to teach you through a concrete example in this video. You can watch the full video (25 mins) with a FREE subscription on my Patreon channel here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/tactical-and-in-121183796?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link The main topics what you can learn from this video:      - How to use the tactical thinking method (checks, captures, threats) properly      - How to use the strategic thinking method (imbalances connected to the kings, pieces, pawns, weak squares) properly      - How to improve your pieces      - How to attack a castled king      - Beautiful checkmate motives I hope you'll find it useful.

Dear Chess Friends, A few days ago I saw an amazing attacking game, in which White sacrifices many pieces to checkmate the Black king. I think it was a really instructive one (one of the best games I've ever seen), so I made a video of it.

Hello guys! When I prepare some openings and strategy for my students almost everyone tell me: "I need to attack!". Children love tactics, very fast attack and glorious victory. Yes, that is true. Almost everyone enojoy quick victory with some combinations like in Shirov's or Tal's games. Because of that many students think that when you attack you have to go forward. When I create some examples they always looking for such a moves, when they go forward - for example go from rank number 4 to rank number 6 when they play as white. Be careful. When you attack sometimes you have to prepare counterplay and go backward and then push. Have a look! We have much more examples linked to this idea. I prepare three and I hope you now understand, that sometimes if you want to go forward you have to first go back!

I prepare some materials about improving positional skills. Frankly I just use the method from Mark Dvoretsky's books called positional pictures. Have a look. First of all we have to find an appropriate position from game. Secondly we have to start form the moment when someone plays very creative or use a new idea, which we do not really comprehend. Next we have to write a commentary and write the move order which was played in the game. Then we have to end the exercise. Finally if we gather many examples we could repeat everything before tournament. Too be honest, examples should be short. It is enoughif you find the right position with new or creative idea! I use only 3 methods in my training: I watch as many games of 2700+ as I could. I collect my postional pictures. I play as many blitz, rapid and classic games as I could. The method is slow but it is very powerful if you do it constantly and you want to achieve a goal in a long period of time. I start in 2012 when I have 2150 ELO. In 2017 I achieve FIDE Master title and in 2019 2400+ in rapid and blitz sections and 2370 in classical games. I combine all together just to repeat every exercise linked to positional pictures once again: EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #1 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #2 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #3 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #4 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #5 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #6 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #7 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #8 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #9 EASY IMPROVE YOUR POSITIONAL SKILLS #10

I am FIDE Master ENEASZ and my highest ELO was about 2400. I have a BLOG and STUDENT'S GROUP at chess.com. I am 27 years old and I studied Finance and Accountancy at University of Economics in Katowice. I am TOP BLOGGER, chess.com Coach and an entrepreneur - owner of Akademia Eneasza I want to show quite extensive training materials prepared by me, over which I spent several hours. It is free for You to show and learn. I use it to teach my chess students. It concerns my games mostly from Polish, Czech, and Slovak leagues. There are also some from other international blitz and rapid tournaments. It is, therefore, essential that my material is unique because it is not grouped to openings, middle games, or endgames. I looked at it from a completely different perspective, and I decided to fill the gap. All the issue concerns another separate piece that played a crucial role in the commented games. I analyse games and justify why I played such moves during each game. Have a look at particular piece schedule above and let's click in a link to go to appropriate training materials: POWERFULL PIECES KING QUEEN ROOK BISHOP KNIGHT PAWN I want to introduce you to my series of articles: "How to beat a Grandmaster?"
