Description
If you're stuck around 1400 Elo and feel like you've hit a wall, this course is for you. I know exactly how it feels-I was there myself. The ideas and methods I teach here are not theory fluff or "one-size-fits-all" advice from some random YouTuber. I applied every single concept in this course to my own play and went from 1400 to 1800 Elo in just 45 days, while the average player only gains about 150 Elo in three months. That's not hype-that's what actually works in practice.I'm not going to pretend I speak like a professional coach or have some fancy credentials. I don't. I speak like a regular player who figured out what works and what doesn't. That's actually the strength of this course: I cut through all the useless clutter and focus only on what will make a real difference in your games. You'll learn practical tactics, opening ideas, and endgame strategies that most YouTubers won't even mention because they either take too long to explain or they just aren't as effective in real games.I'll admit a weakness: I don't sugarcoat things or try to make this sound more complicated than it is. I don't write endless articles or pretend that you'll become a grandmaster overnight. But here's my biggest plus: I know what actually works. Every lesson here has been tested in real games, under time pressure, against real opponents. That means when you follow these methods, you're learning something proven, not just popular.This course is designed for ambitious intermediate players who are ready to break past the 1400 barrier and reach 1800 Elo. It's for those who want a system that's actionable, realistic, and fast, without wasting months on trial and error. By the end of it, you'll not only see improvement in your rating, but you'll also start thinking differently about the game, spotting tactics faster, making smarter decisions in the opening, and finishing endgames with confidence.I don't promise magic. I promise what worked for me-and it can work for you too. If you're ready to stop guessing and start winning, this course will get you there.
