Announcing An Endgame Studies Course
Tailored For Improving Players, Like YOU
If you’d love to unlock your ability to think “out of the box” and calculate your way to victory, then we bring you wonderful news.
Kostya Kavutskiy — a globe-trotting International Master turned scholastic chess coach — brings us a unique course designed to help you analyze with pinpoint accuracy… avoid tunnel vision… build your mental flexibility… get rid of bad move-selection habits… and zero-in on logic-defying combinations.
The course’s name is Endgame Studies 101. It’s one of the finalists in our Create Your Own Course Challenge, and…
Here’s Why This Course Is
A Cut Above The Rest
There’s no shortage of elite players and coaches who recommend solving endgame studies to boost one’s over-the-board performance.
From the late Mark Dvoretsky (the best trainer in the world), Levon Aronian (world #5, peak 2830 FIDE), to Baadur Jobava (three-time Georgian champion, peak 2734 FIDE) just to name a few.
On the other hand, we suffer from a severe shortage of club player-friendly resources on endgame studies.
Most courses and books on the subject are near-impossible to read.
The studies are so difficult even for titled players, most readers lose heart within the first few pages. Worse, many positions look out of this world, making them impractical to solve. And let’s not forget the unsound or “cooked” compositions that only add to the confusion.
Fortunately, as one of the top chess educators today, Kostya is in a unique position to fix this dilemma.
In his first ever Chessable course, he breaks down the must-know patterns, key themes and effective thinking techniques for solving — not only compositions — but complicated tactical problems in real games, too.
This way, you can reap the game-building benefits of endgame studies, even if you’re rated 2000 FIDE or lower.
Inside Endgame Studies 101…
🧠 You’ll learn how to attract an enemy piece to a mined square, allowing you to unleash a winning tactic on that piece.
🧠 You’ll discover surprising ways to deflect a defensive unit away from the action, so you can decisively invade the squares they left behind.
🧠 You’ll see how to wrong-foot the opponent and interfere with their coordination — leaving them unable to cope with your multiple threats.
🧠 You’ll learn how to save half-points from the jaws of defeat using stalemating techniques and other drawing methods.
🧠 You’ll be given a simple question that helps you put the opponent under zugzwang. This way, ANY move they make hands you the point on a silver platter.
🧠 You’ll also pick up Kostya’s 3-step method for “course correcting” your thinking… and improving on failed candidate moves until you hit the winning continuation.
PLUS many more!
Endgame Studies 101 comes with 3 hours of video and 389 trainable exercises, and…
If you dedicate an hour to the course every day for the next 30 days — and spend 5 minutes on every exercise as recommended by Kostya — you’ll see what massive impact endgame studies can have on your game.
On day one, you start to “get” how to manipulate enemy pieces to your advantage. By day three, you’re able to routinely dismantle the opponent’s defenses. By day 20, you begin to find winning moves that defy logic, and visualize three… four… or even five moves ahead with 20/20 clarity.

Some courses handled the opening principles nicely
Angeline (verified owner) –
Even when one of my opponents didn’t follow theory, which often happens with beginners,
Yangdi (verified owner) –
As a beginner it’s easy to get overwhelmed by big repertoires but this one has the perfect number of lines and yet,
Leo (verified owner) –
I’m still a fairly new adult learner and have looked at all the major courses and finally feel like I have an option that makes sense for my level and available time.
Patrick (verified owner) –
At this level this course covers a sweet spot.
John (verified owner) –
I bought this course with video few weeks ago (thanks to @JRHat for recommending it to me).
Kevin (verified owner) –
I think many of these reviewers forget what it was like to be a beginner, or a casual player.
Dylan (verified owner) –
I am an expert rated chess player FIDE Rated 2306 who had the privilege to beta-test this wonderful course. I went through some of the chapters of this course namely,
Lucas (verified owner) –
keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Julian (verified owner) –
Wonderfully Structured and Organized Course
Paul (verified owner) –
more importantly, when we have to make an exception to the standard plan, a very good explanation of what would happen if we didn’t do it,
Edward (verified owner) –
he gives you basic principles that just works 90% of the situations – it sounded silly to me at first, but then it became a daily prayer
Mateo (verified owner) –
I would never recommend this book to anybody that I would consider a beginner, and maybe not even a “casual” player (depending on the definition).
Kim Jin Un (verified owner) –
Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
Nicholas (verified owner) –
he would cover all possible silly reactions that could derail my well-thought opening, and how to deal with them
Max (verified owner) –
I’ve only reviewed all the black lines but I am liking the author’s approach of adding exercises after each chapter to make sure you are looking at the positions themselves rather than just routinely memorizing the lines without absorbing the content of his commentary.
Chelsi (verified owner) –
Also, this course is not aimed at advanced and master level therefore; it didn’t overwhelmed me with things that I don’t need to worry about at my level.
