The Art of Defense
All chess players want to learn how to attack, but they don’t realize that the reason why their ELO isn’t 2200 yet is because of their poor defensive technique, not the attacking skills. The truth is, the ability to attack and to defend are equally important.
There are simply no strong players out there that only know how to attack and don’t know how to defend.
No tournaments are won without a solid defense. Period.
The majority of club players have trouble realizing that being attacked is a part of the game. It is not necessarily a bad thing. These players collapse under a minimum pressure because they are not trained to handle the defense correctly. If you are one of those players that have trouble playing solid defense, even against a tougher opponent, you should really think about working on this part of the game.
Learning good practices of defensive play will save you many-many games, which you would’ve normally lost. Everyone knows, that the path to becoming a strong player plays not only through winning games but most importantly through not losing. And that’s where a good defense comes into play.
The question is how do you work on your defense?
It is not tactics, not opening and not even the endgame. A different training approach is needed. That’s exactly why he brought together this comprehensive defensive video course.
In this course, IM Valeri Lilov shares some of the must-know defensive techniques in a clear and organized matter. IM Lilov goes through many different defense situations and explains how these positions should be handled.
Simply applying the techniques demonstrated in this course will bring your defensive skills to a whole new level. What you previously considered “a devastating attack” would now appear as a “minor pressure”.

- CHAPTER 1: Busting a Defense

Ryker (verified owner) –
Even above beginner level, knowing the first ten moves is usually sufficient, and the variations in this course average nine moves.
Dylan (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
Owen (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.
Jhony (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.
John (verified owner) –
Wonderfully Structured and Organized Course
Jackson (verified owner) –
I think many of these reviewers forget what it was like to be a beginner, or a casual player.
Oktavia (verified owner) –
At this level this course covers a sweet spot.
Nathaniel (verified owner) –
Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
Nolan (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.
Cherline (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).
