50-Day Tactics Challenge – Part 2 by GM Valeriy Aveskulov & by FM Sergey Tugaj 27 Dec 2024

The Club Player’s Launchpad To
Becoming A Tactical Expert

Leap over the biggest obstacle to your chess improvement. Calculate 6-move combinations with pinpoint accuracy. And finally conquer ‘analysis paralysis’ — with just 10 tactics puzzles a day.

Starting is always the HARDEST part.

It’s the reason why the sprinter must poise every muscle for that explosive start. Why the weightlifter must drive their feet into the ground to hoist a barbell. And why a car engine’s cylinders must fire in perfect unison just to get moving.

So if you ever feel a knot of reluctance when it’s time to train tactics…

Realize that it’s not just you.

It’s not about lacking motivation. It’s the universal struggle to start…

Made worse by overwhelming training options pulling your game in every direction but forward.

Enter the 50-Day Tactics Challenge. It’s a structured, puzzles-focused course that…

Cuts Through Overwhelm While Building
Your Daily Success Routine

The plan is simple:

You solve 10 carefully chosen chess tactics each day. You stay consistent for just 50 days.

Then watch in awe as you start chasing the enemy king up the board — relentless like Garry Kasparov.

After the invincible rook delivers a check, the
white king must walk up to its enemies

Uncover the hidden geometry connecting the pieces. Then turn a decisive-looking attack on its head a la Magnus Carlsen.

The first of 3 counter-blows that
blasted the dark squares to bits.

Snatch pawns with impunity like Vishy Anand, seeing 5 full moves ahead, certain your opponent cannot reclaim them.

Bend the rules of math as
‘3 attackers vs 3 defenders’
adds up in your favor.

And uncover deep tactical ideas once hidden outside of your radar.

Forget about tracking, scheduling, and overthinking.

You Won’t Even Need To Review Anything For 50 Days!

You simply solve until you’re congratulated. Then you let the authors’ puzzle selection and analysis do the rest.

FM Sergey Tugaj built the 50-Day Tactics Challenge using positions from his private coaching database. For over 20 years, he’s refined it to balance beauty and instruction — leaving an imprint on your mind long after solving.

Then, GM Valeriy Aveskulov dissects key positions through 19 hours of video. So you can absorb their lessons faster.

Solve the first 5 puzzles of the day with Aveskulov. Watch how he hones in on the main idea, narrows down candidate moves, and calculates the winning combination.

Then, tackle the next 5 puzzles on your own — fully primed to think like a grandmaster!

Here’s a quick recap of what’s included:

💥 Over 19 hours of video to distill chaotic positions into clear tactical ideas.

💥 A glossary of 39 themes to summarize how the tactics in the course work. So you can better recognize them in action.

💥 Plus thematic tags to pinpoint your areas for improvement.

…on top of the 500 tactics puzzles spread out in 50 days.

Part two builds on everything great about the original, with tougher puzzles rated 1700 to 1900 Elo.

If you’re rated lower, the video explanations bring every position closer to your level. So even if you don’t get an exercise right the first time, you can still recreate its winning ideas.

If you’re rated higher, solve the puzzles to stay competition-ready between tournaments or blitz sessions. All while cementing a success routine that drives your chess forward.
