OFF - 87%Such questions dominate the making of chess strategy, but general rules of thumb you learn here and there are difficult to apply in every circumstance. Chess strategy can only be mastered by knowing when to apply which concept in a given scenario – and to do that, you need a rich understanding of many types of positions.

Learn to Apply the Right Strategy in Any Scenario
GM Hellsten’s philosophy is that chess strategy, much like tactics, needs to be practiced through repetition. And with more than 200 informational variations and 800 practical exercises, you’ll have plenty of it.
Much of the benefit of this course lies within its format and its thoroughness. In each chapter, GM Hellsten teaches you a strategic concept by walking you through master games with descriptive annotations. Then, you’ll test your knowledge in practical exercises to ensure you can apply that concept in any relevant position.
You’ll master dozens of strategic concepts, including:
♟Engineering a successful attack (or defense)
♟Creating and exploiting weaknesses
♟Changing pawn structure when necessary
♟Playing positionally vs. materialistically
♟Employing prophylactic ideas before attacking when necessary
♟And much more!
This course is certainly an investment of time and effort, but one that is sure to pay dividends tenfold. And by practicing with MoveTrainer®, you’ll be able to commit the concepts to heart in half the time it would take you with the print version, so you can call upon them in your own games easily.
This course is a must-take for the intermediate player looking to take their strategic thinking and play to the next level. Refine your strategic play with Mastering Chess Strategy.

I bought this course with video few weeks ago (thanks to @JRHat for recommending it to me).
John (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,
Zohar (verified owner) –
keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Steven William (verified owner) –
I appreciate the effort gone into it. It’s helped me become better at my openings and I’m looking forward to what he has next in store. Cheers.

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.
Oktavia (verified owner) –
I have tried a few free and paid repertoire courses but I continued to face a challenge with them
Matthew (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.
Max (verified owner) –
Even when one of my opponents didn’t follow theory, which often happens with beginners,
Agus (verified owner) –
Even above beginner level, knowing the first ten moves is usually sufficient, and the variations in this course average nine moves.
Bryan (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
Angel (verified owner) –
I think many of these reviewers forget what it was like to be a beginner, or a casual player.
Kaden Arabic (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.
Supritno (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.
Ang Tu Yua (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.
Dylan (verified owner) –
Wonderfully Structured and Organized Course
Nicholas (verified owner) –
Really good course
Ryan (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,
Mason (verified owner) –
Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
Phoenix (verified owner) –
he would cover all possible silly reactions that could derail my well-thought opening, and how to deal with them
David (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).
Edward (verified owner) –
In two recent wins, my opponents failed to follow the golden rules, making it easy for me to win the games.
