Whether you want to learn how to play devastatingly attacking chess or you think you already know how, this camp will push you beyond the basic ‘sac, sac, mate’ formulas toward a truly creative and fresh approach of your own. Most courses and instructors 🐟 focus on the culmination of attacking sequences, but we plan to focus on the build-up and foundational principles that you can use to create your own beautiful attacks.
The result: you'll be a more confident and innovative player, looking for attacks beginning on move one but not unleashing them until the time is right. 🧨
This is a camp for ambitious adult improvers who want to feast on (and play!) spectacular chess. Familiarity with fundamental attacking strategy is encouraged, and this camp will be geared towards players over 1400 USCF (1700+ lichess).
That said, if you are prepared to work hard and dedicate time to reviewing included and supplemental material, we think this could be a very exciting and enriching course for lower-rated players as well.
