Prophylaxis Masterclass
When I was younger I could never get my head around how do the masters play so precise?
It seems like they almost foresee all my moves.
I worked on tactics, strategy and positional chess but there was something MAJOR missing preventing me from playing much better.
And that missing piece was… the PROPHYLAXIS.
Prophylactic thinking is the habit of constantly asking yourself “what my opponent wants to do” and the ability to find a good reply.
Right now, there are thousands of chess players out there… who has no idea how much they are being held BACK by poor prophylactic skills?
It’s sad but true. Think about it this way:
Prophylaxis is the art & science of preventing your opponents’ threats.
It is a fundamental skill that is equally important regardless of the level you’re at. Prophylaxis is like dribbling in basketball. If you play the game, it is essential that you know how to dribble!
From stopping your opponent’s tactical ideas to cutting off his positional play, prophylaxis plays a HUGE role in every single move!
(And it improves your results. A lot.)
In this masterclass, IM Lilov has adopted the same principles that have been proven effective time and time again by classic players (think Aron Nimzowitsch)…
…and bridged the gap to the chess players’ needs of today!
The result is an incredibly valuable course that gets our highest possible recommendation for ANYONE who takes chess seriously!
Time to get started!

In two recent wins, my opponents failed to follow the golden rules, making it easy for me to win the games.
Oktavia (verified owner) –
Really good course
Gempita (verified owner) –
At this level this course covers a sweet spot.
Samuel (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.
Porse (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,
Cherline (verified owner) –
I bought this course with video few weeks ago (thanks to @JRHat for recommending it to me).
Bambang (verified owner) –
Even when one of my opponents didn’t follow theory, which often happens with beginners,
Edward (verified owner) –
he would cover all possible silly reactions that could derail my well-thought opening, and how to deal with them
James (verified owner) –
Even above beginner level, knowing the first ten moves is usually sufficient, and the variations in this course average nine moves.
Angel (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).
Yunis (verified owner) –
I think many of these reviewers forget what it was like to be a beginner, or a casual player.
Jackson (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
Chelsi (verified owner) –
Wonderfully Structured and Organized Course
Kim Jin Un (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.
Richard (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,
Supritno (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.
Dominic (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.
Putri Lovely (verified owner) –
keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Angeline (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,
Putri Nuraisyah (verified owner) –
Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
Agus (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.
Jhony (verified owner) –
Some courses handled the opening principles nicely
