The Most Effective Techniques for
Thinking Chess and Training Chess

Through 14 hours of video and 404 MoveTrainer exercises, Smith shows you how to…

💪 Navigate the possibilities hidden in the position… find the best move with less effort… and avoid blunders using his 9-point calculation process.

💪 Build your “mental database” of tactical patterns, and calculate chess combinations faster with the Woodpecker Method.

💪 Intuition coming up empty? Survey the board for clues, and uncover the right strategy by asking these 6 auxiliary questions.

💪 Coach yourself to the next level when you create a “List of Mistakes” as explained in chapter 5.

💪 Prepare your openings at the right depth based on your “level of ambition”… stay ahead of ever-changing theory… and remember your lines better when you follow Smith’s opening study guide.

💪 Sharpen your endgame technique as you take on the 100 endgame sparring positions in chapter 8.

… and that’s just to name a few.

Of course, competitive chess goes beyond the board.

Mindset, deep-rooted biases, time management, and a host of other factors all come into play.

That’s why you’ll LOVE Smith’s solution to these decision-making challenges — giving you every opportunity to gain an edge.

💪 From identifying the 4 categories of critical positions. So you can commit enough thinking time, and find the best move when it matters most.

💪 Striking a balance between precision and the clock. This way, you avoid wasting 40 good moves with a time-trouble-induced blunder.

💪 Curbing your creativity… and allowing your mind to focus on simple positional chess, minus the distracting “flights of fancy.”

💪 Commanding your working memory to remember — not the entire board — and only the most important “chunks” of a future position. So you’re able to accurately assess it, without frying your brain.

💪 To befriending the primacy bias… that near-irresistible tendency to play the first move that comes to mind. So even if your choice isn’t best, you still land on a sound, healthy position.
