The Complete Manual of Positional Chess – Volume 2 + PGN Mar 02, 2026

Command Your Pawns and Pieces Like a
General — A Complete Manual from
3 Super Grandmasters

Your pawns set the long-term plan. Your pieces pounce on the split-second chance. Learn to command both in this manual. Study it from start to finish. Or use it like on-demand coaching from a former world #4. Either way, you’ll be a lot closer to the coveted master level.

You’ll learn how to:

✅ Shift the pawn structure at the right moment — so you have clear targets for the rest of the game.

Pawn breaks like 25…f4! jump out at you

pieces find a way in

✅ Bring the most pieces into the fight in the fewest moves. And if the opposing side can’t keep up? You blow them off the board.
