Overview
Break through your chess plateau with the Five-Point Method and the Pressure Method.
Written for ambitious club players rated roughly 1300-1800, this course teaches the two habits that separate strong players from stuck ones: reading a position for its hidden clues, and calculating with a purpose instead of drifting.
Inside the book:
- The CCT Method and the Five-Point Method, explained step by step
- The Pressure Method - in the middlegame, in the endgame, and from the other side of the board
- Candidate moves, prophylactic thinking and how to meet threats
- Good knights and bad knights, the principle of two weaknesses, the relative value of the pieces
- When captures are wrong, when to castle, and how to win straight out of the opening
- 21 chapters, a closing set of review exercises, and games annotated throughout
