Unlock the Keys to Positional Understanding with This Practical Guide for Club Players
Everyone has it: that one part of their game where once they get a grip on it, everything clicks and their results improve dramatically. And for a lot of club players, that area is positional play.
It’s a phenomenon Woman International Master Tijana Blagojevic has seen all too often: her club player students are strong in tactics and openings, but their ratings don’t show it because their positional knowledge just isn’t up to par. In other words, they can never create the circumstances to execute those tactical knockouts.
But as the daughter of a grandmaster and a chess player practically since birth, these are the skills Tijana has in her blood! So the European youth championship medalist-turned-pro chess coach has put together a practical guide to learn those essential positional skills to take your game to the next level: Everyone’s First Strategy Kit.
Focusing on the specific strategic skills most club players are weak on, WIM Blagojevic has built this course to teach you these need-to-know concepts and apply them in a variety of circumstances with precision. You’ll learn how to:
♟Exchange the right pieces and when. Learn how you can swap off your opponent’s MVP for your weak piece (even if their point value is ‘the same’) – allowing the rest of your pieces to march in with little resistance
♟Maneuver the closed games like Karpov. Playing 1.d4 (or against it) is often a much different game than 1.e4. Learn the strategic maneuvers and planning skills needed to be successful in this family of openings which include 1.c4 and 1.Nf3
♟Make a strategic blueprint based on pawn structure. Understand how to play with or against an isolated queen pawn, play for the minority attack or defend against it, and other common pawn structure plans
♟Learn when material doesn’t matter. With a chapter dedicated to positional sacrifices, you’ll learn when you should give up material – whether that be a pawn, an exchange, or even a piece – to get long-term positional compensation
♟ Exploit critical squares. Learn how to find a weak square and exploit it – or make one if there is none
Using an instructive blend of master games and positional exercises taken from those games, WIM Blagojevic really shows her strength as a coach – and why she gets rave reviews from her students. These exercises – each showing very relatable situations you’re almost certain to encounter in some form – are sure to expand your brain and commit the concepts to heart such that you can apply them in your own games.
So if you’re ready to kick up your strategic skills and the rest of your game while you’re at it, this is your course – get Everyone’s First Strategy Kit today.

In two recent wins, my opponents failed to follow the golden rules, making it easy for me to win the games.
Bryan (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.
Leo (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.
Dylan (verified owner) –
Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
Angeline (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,
Chelsi (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
Robert (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,

keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Charles (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.
Daniel (verified owner) –
For taking all the fun out of my chess games. I never thought anybody would be cruel enough to make winning so easy that chess has become boring.
Ryan (verified owner) –
Now that I don’t need to invest much energy in the opening phase, I can concentrate on improving my middle and endgame play.
Avery (verified owner) –
At this level this course covers a sweet spot.
Max (verified owner) –
Even when one of my opponents didn’t follow theory, which often happens with beginners,
Putri Lovely (verified owner) –
I think many of these reviewers forget what it was like to be a beginner, or a casual player.
Mason (verified owner) –
he would cover all possible silly reactions that could derail my well-thought opening, and how to deal with them
Agus (verified owner) –
Really good course
Putri Nuraisyah (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).
