Chess Crime and Punishment by CM Can Kabadayi

Chess Crime & Punishment by CM Can Kabadayi examines the typical mistakes, or “chess crimes” that novice to intermediate players (1000-1700 Elo) often make, and what players can do to stop getting “punished” by such chess crimes. Not only that, it shows what players can do to punish the crimes committed by their opponents.

What you’ll get by studying this course:

♙ Improve your piece play, by not burying your pieces behind pawn chains, relegating them to defending irrelevant pawns, and not trading off your best pieces.

♙ Stop playing with a passive mindset and treat the position objectively, rather than reacting to imaginary threats.

♙ Avoid closing the position when it should be opened and vice versa and recognize thematic middlegame pawn breaks.

♙ Understand the crucial concepts of development and time, e.g. how flank pawn pushes (a3 or h3) in the opening often waste time and put you behind in development.

♙ Dedicated chapters with puzzles, one on how to avoid chess crimes and one on how to punish them.

CM Can Kabadayi, an experienced chess coach, has decided to create Chess Crime and Punishment, his so-called “master’s thesis” based on the mistakes he has observed his students make. He noticed that these errors were more often than not logical/strategic errors rather than analytical/calculation mistakes.

Kabadayi’s unique teaching style is praised by his students and those who have used his other hit Chessable courses. This is evident in his hit course series comprising “The Art of Exchanging Pieces”, “The Art of Burying Pieces”, “The Art of Awakening Pieces, and “The Art of Multi-Purpose Moves” which are all highly acclaimed, each with a 5/5 star rating on Chessable.
