DEFENDING CHAMPION
Premium Course by GM Igor Smyrnov and FM Marko Makaj

"Defense is a very important chess skill. At least in about 50% of a chess game, we need to defend. Thus, defense is as important as attack."
WHY THIS COURSE WAS CREATED?
Defense is a very important chess skill. At least in about 50% of a chess game, we need to defend. In some games, we play with Black pieces and White makes the first move, and for that reason, White has the opportunity to start the attack/initiative. In some other occasions, one will make a mistake and he or she is forced to defend. Thus, defense is as important as attack.
Many players struggle to get out of hard positions, and crumble under pressure. If you carefully study the course, then you will be able to defend correctly against all level of players
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
Best for beginner/intermediate level chess players
The course is suitable for beginners and intermediate level players, but it will be helpful for advanced level players, too. Even if your ELO is 1900+, this course will help you improve your defending skills and you’ll learn some new things.
