How To Beat Titled Players and Stronger Opponents: Middlegame Chess Course by Igor Smirnov

Master the 5 Chess Weapons and learn how to defeat opponents that are 200 or even 300 rating points ahead of you.

Nowadays, you need to have some unique skills if you want to beat an experienced opponent. You need to have special knowledge which is not presented in chess books. Some strong players know these weapons, however they will never tell them to you. Nevertheless, now you can get this knowledge from the course How to Beat Titled Players.

This course should not have been created.

Actually, I wasn't going to share this information with a huge audience. I've had doubts about whether or not I should give such a powerful chess weapon to everyone. After all, I am also a titled player, and I don't want everyone to be able to beat me! So why have I created this program? Well, it is for your merit! I have received a lot of e-mails with the customers' gratitude for my previous courses. It has motivated me to create something highly valuable for you. Here it is.

What is the point?

Today, there is an overabundance of chess books, CDs, and other educational materials. That's why every serious player knows all the chess basics. Everyone knows what is "a weak square", "the center", "a fork" and other well-known strategic and tactical motifs. The quantities of strong players have considerably increased in the last few years. They play well. The problem is that all of them study the same chess books and programs and accumulate similar knowledge. That is why at a certain stage of your chess development you are faced with a question "How to beat an experienced opponent?" That's why we can often only make a draw (as the best result) against a stronger opponent.

Is there any chance?

Of course there is. You know that everyone loses. Even a strong Grandmaster loses games sometimes. It means that there is a way to beat him. Pretty often, a weaker player wins against a stronger opponent. Again, it means that it is possible to do. The question is "HOW can you do it?". How can you beat a titled player or a player whose rating is 100-200 points higher than yours? To give you a key to success, I have decided to create such a chess program. It took about 3 months to present my knowledge and experience in an integral and compact product. Now with pride I am presenting the course How to beat titled players.
