And Build an Overwhelming Position in 4 Simple Steps

Chess handyman International Master Thomas Willemze is back, and he brings more easy-to-learn techniques to level up your game.

Based on his book of the same name, The Chess Toolbox series tackles 4 universal areas for improvement. ‘Universal’ because every club player will encounter these challenges.

Years of coaching experience convinced IM Willemze that studying these areas will teach you how to obtain superior piece coordination and upgrade your overall play.

In part two of the series, you will learn how overwhelm the opponent with effective rook play.

The Chess Toolbox 2 – Unleash Your Rooks

Rooks take a while to get into the game because they’re tucked in the corner.

But The Chess Toolbox 2 shows you a proven 4-step method to turn those sleepers into a force of nature.

The steps are not only club-friendly simple. But IM Willemze also uses backward reasoning to give you the complete picture.

Backward reasoning is the same problem-solving approach Sherlock Holmes used to solve near-impossible mysteries.

The course starts with the overall goal, then shows you the exact steps to get there. This way, you can learn and start using IM Willemze’s tools after only a few training sessions.

More than 140 exercises and hours of video-sync instruction will show you how to:

🔨 Coordinate rooks with other pieces to maximize firepower
🔨 Win and defend against the windmill tactic
🔨 Eliminate defenders to expose entry squares…
🔨 While protecting yours from invasion
🔨 Conquer and defend open files
🔨 Unleash a barrage of tactics from the 7th rank
🔨 Plus other ways to win with your heavy pieces

To maximize your learning and retention, The Chess Toolbox 2 was also optimized for MoveTrainer®.

The longer variations in the print book were cut down to shorter, easier-to-digest segments. Every variation also comes with clear explanations and visual aids. So you can zero-in on the most important takeaways at a glance.
