We are happy to announce that IM/WGM Iva Videnova-Kuljasevic comes up with her first course for Modern Chess - Tactical Awarness - Reduce Your Blunders.
Despite being able to solve complicated chess puzzles, during the game we often miss relatively simple tactics. The most important reason is that we are not aware that the tactical possibility actually exists. In order to structure your thinking process, Iva Videnova provides you with a system of thinking based on certain patterns.

We're thrilled to introduce Grandmaster Mykhaylo Oleksiyenko's debut course for Modern Chess: "Tactics Helping Strategy". This highly immersive course showcases 50 training positions, explicitly designed to boost your strategic prowess. Within each position, you're tasked with exercising your problem-solving skills to seize a variety of strategic advantages. This dual-approach not only refines your ability to interpret complex positions but also sharpens your calculation skills.

Every training position is complemented with an in-depth answer annotation and a video explanation, creating a comprehensive learning journey. The cumulative duration of the video course approximates around 4 hours.

Soon after the release of the highly successful course Converting Positional Advantage, IM Boroljub Zlatanovic completes his survey with a brand new database - Converting Material Advantage.
This course is made to navigate you through the process of converting. You will find important advice, techniques, and principles in the course and feel much more comfortable in situations with extra material. By the way, some different examples are also presented – these are about illusion. The side with material advantage went wrongly for the position where the opponent with a material deficit would play for a win. Even in such situations, we explained patterns to win.

Welcome to Converting Positional Advantage, a comprehensive chess course designed to take your strategic understanding to new heights.
This course, led by IM Boroljub Zlatanovic, focuses on strategic play in scenarios where one side possesses a stable positional advantage. Throughout the course, you will learn not only how to convert these advantages, but also how to accumulate more advantages, create weaknesses in your opponent's camp, and limit your opponent's potential for active play or counterplay.
