“I’ve discovered that it’s possible to teach this skill to anyone, even players who have just learned the game. And what’s astonishing is that these students quickly start playing GM-level moves.”

— Grandmaster Jesse Kraai, ChessDojo Sensei

This 1-hour crash course explains how to use the element of time in chess, like a grandmaster.

So that you’re faster than the opponent when developing in the opening — when attacking in the middlegame — and when gobbling up pawns in the endgame.

It’s About Time: A Beginner’s Guide to Time in Chess was created by Grandmaster Jesse Kraai.

Kraai is a peak 2527-Elo player, 5-time state champion, and seasoned chess coach. He’s also a founding sensei of the ChessDojo — a fast-growing community of active and supportive chess improvers.

Throughout Kraai’s 20-plus years of teaching — which added over 73,000 points to his students’ rating — one of the core skills he teaches is:

How to pull 2… 3… or even 4 moves ahead of the opponent. So you can carry out the winning plan or combination long before the other side can defend.

Here’s a quick tour:

After the introduction, Kraai will show you how to count moves to find out who has the time advantage.

This way, you’ll know if you should slow down the opponent’s game — accelerate yours — or “cash in” on your more active pieces.

The next 3 chapters give you plenty of opportunities to practice counting moves. All while explaining how to get your pieces into play and build a time advantage in ALL 3 phases of the game.

You’ll be shown examples on how to:

⏰ “Develop with attack,” which forces the opponent to defend and retard their own development. It’s like getting an extra move!

⏰ Turn around shallow threats with pawn sacrifices. Then watch your pieces leap into action, one after the other.

Black’s extra center pawn won’t count, because
White is “up” 4 pieces on the side of
the board that matters

⏰ Identify the top opening moves in a given position. So you can pick the continuation which resonates best with your style.

⏰ Pinpoint “problem” pieces, and find a way to bring them into the game.

Next time you get a similar position, remember
this …dxc4 and …e5! maneuver to liberate
the bad bishop on c8

⏰ Reinforce an attack with your rook… without it moving from the starting square! Plus a similar trick for activating bishops.

⏰ Transform your time advantage into an extra pawn in the endgame.

Plus many more.

Kraai lays down everything in just 69 minutes of video, while 23 MoveTrainer variations drive the lessons home.
