Description
Many players deserve better results than they’re getting, and they know it. Surely some names popped up in your head, maybe even your own.
These players can put up an enviable level of chess for many moves and achieve dominant positions without breaking a sweat. But, unfortunately, their games often end abruptly, after just one mistake. The story keeps repeating on and on, and the saddest part is that this vicious cycle is one of the most significant progress holdbacks.
FIDE Master Dalton Perrine knows this well. In over seven years of coaching players of all levels, he has seen it happen too much.
A common mistake in chess training
Few ever train the ability to prevent the opponent’s counterplay, defending an inferior position, or smelling trouble from afar and avoiding blunders. And in their absence, a good game can be traumatically turned over, and an able player can lose confidence and stagnate.
So, for his first Chessable course, FM Perrine set out to solve the issue once and for all. The result is a course with an original premise: 300 challenging puzzles to develop your survival skills. Yes, survival!
The answer to many of these exercises will center around not getting yourself in trouble. Often, the final position will only be equal or slightly better. In some, you will even end up worse, but with chances to thrive.
A guide to defensive calculation
The five core chapters focus on a different defensive calculation technique, laid within three difficulty levels. While some players may cruise through level 1, by level 3, puzzles are so hard that the pace of the timer will evoke real game feelings.
These are sandwiched between a ‘Warm-up’ chapter (1-3 move solutions) and a ‘Very Challenging’ chapter (it lives up to its title): free-for-all of the techniques explored in the main chapters.
These are the five core techniques in the course:
⚠️ Response to checks — Don’t move on autopilot; it will make all the difference in the world!
⚠️ Spotting the threat — Anticipate them by defending or creating a stronger threat of your own.
⚠️ Process of elimination — Figure out your best option by ruling out those which are not.
⚠️ Candidate Moves Evaluation — Assess the best move from multiple options.
⚠️ Blunder check — Consider the suggested move and decide if it’s a blunder or not.
It will all be easier after reading FM Perrine tips in the introduction -a disguised mini-masterclass on calculation– but by the end of exercise 300, you’ll notice your defensive abilities grow stronger.

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.

The ideas taught in this course helped me defend against a brutal attack in my last tournament. I was able to secure the half-point once I defused the attack.

Some courses handled the opening principles nicely
Alan (verified owner) –
I have tried a few free and paid repertoire courses but I continued to face a challenge with them
Cherline (verified owner) –
Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
Samuel (verified owner) –
Even above beginner level, knowing the first ten moves is usually sufficient, and the variations in this course average nine moves.

I bought this course with video few weeks ago (thanks to @JRHat for recommending it to me).
Ryan (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,
Charles (verified owner) –
he would cover all possible silly reactions that could derail my well-thought opening, and how to deal with them
John (verified owner) –
Even when one of my opponents didn’t follow theory, which often happens with beginners,
Riley (verified owner) –
keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Aadarsh (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.

Wonderfully Structured and Organized Course
Paul (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.

Now that I don’t need to invest much energy in the opening phase, I can concentrate on improving my middle and endgame play.
Liam (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
Nathaniel (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.
Aiden (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.

Really good course
