Just as importantly, you can't afford to overlook opportunities to capture an undefended piece from your opponent. With more than 1500 carefully crafted exercises filled with realistic positions, this course serves as an invaluable training tool for new players looking to sharpen their skills quickly. Designed for those who already understand the basic rules of chess, this program provides extensive practice that delivers real results.
