I have noticed that a lot of people like to purchase many examples or/and openings at once and get a discount, which I totally understand :) and usually agree with or even suggest myself :). The examples (middlegame, endgame) are usually well analysed and theoretical material is huge and is updated on a daily basis. If you have any questions while studying the material, let me know and I will help. It is possible to buy it using PayPal and sending payments to [email protected] (please, indicate your e-mail address, so I know whom to send it to :) ). Material will be sent in pgn/cbv files directly to your e-mail address ASAP.

Books: my 1st chess book “The Very Unusual Book About Chess” + 2nd “Conversation with a Professional Trainer – Methods of Positional Play” – US$ 35 (instead of US$ 60) with postage and packaging included (I can also sign and dedicate if one wishes :)). Check out the books page here.

Openings

Trompovsky + Dutch – US$ 20 (instead of US$ 30) or Nimzo-Indian + King’s Indian – US$ 30 (instead of US$ 50)

1.e4 e5 repertoire (for the Black side – ALL openings after 1.e4 e5) – US$ 50 (instead of US$ 80)

Check out the free but old theoretical and middlegame samples here.

Middlegame

20 examples on Ruy Lopez of the 20th century (most interesting and useful games) – US$ 5 (instead of US$ 10) or 20 examples on the King’s Indian – end of 20th century (most interesting and useful games) – US$ 5 (instead of US$ 10)

Endgame

20 examples on Rook & Bishop (Knight) versus a Rook – US$ 5 (instead of US$ 10) or 20 examples on Minor piece and pawns versus larger amount of pawns – US$ 5 (instead of US$ 10)

If you have any questions about the material, send an e-mail to [email protected].
