Master Your Endgames With Judit Polgar And Build A Competitive Advantage That Lasts A Lifetime

Opening trends change, and theoretical novelties lose their luster. That Sicilian shocker played by a top 10 player last week? Everyone will “figure it out” in a few months. But…

If you want a competitive advantage that lasts — one which you can build a fruitful career on — then masterful endgame play is where it’s at!

Need proof? Just ask any world chess champion… or the authors of this course — Grandmaster Judit Polgar (former world #8, peak 2735 FIDE) and Grandmaster Mihail Marin (three-time Romanian champion, peak 2616 FIDE).

Polgar and Marin spent decades analyzing and crushing all types of endgames — against the best players no less. And in their first project together, they drew from their experience to…

Lay Down The Foundational Skills You Need To Ace Endgames

Master Your Endgames With Judit Polgar zeroes in on the core concepts and skills upon which more complex endgames are built. Which means the insights you’ll pick up inside will continue to pay off, especially as you climb the rating ladder.

In the course, Polgar and Marin focus on the seven critical features which separate the endgame from other phases of chess.

The chapter introductions give you essential guidelines for capitalizing on these features... enabling you to secure the win even with the tiniest of advantages, or escape with a draw against all odds.

And finally, you’ll be given 189 endgame exercises and 6,5 hours of video which drive the lessons home, and turn them into real endgame skills.

These exercises were taken from games by Polgar and other grandmasters. You’ll also get a dose of the authors’ favorite studies. So expect to get a complete chess workout from this course!

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s inside:

🏆 How to "cash in" on your passed pawn… to gain an overwhelming material advantage. Or save a half-point against a superior force.

🏆 The multitasking king… which simultaneously stops enemy pawns from advancing and clears the way for yours.

🏆 How to weave a mating net… when you only have two pieces left. The defender may avoid checkmate. But not the inevitable weakening of their position!

🏆 Zugzwang. Or the art of "passing the move" to your opponent, and forcing them to self-destruct. Plus, how to parry the defender's attempts to put you in zugzwang.

🏆 Instant improvement for your endgame technique. Chapter six shows you the two things you must do to become a more proficient technician. Number two only needs a simple mental reminder.

🏆 The mindset of a “squeezer.” Get your head in order, and squeeze wins out of dead-drawn positions.

🏆 Endgame blunders… and the reflex actions behind them. The more aware you are of these tendencies, the higher your chances of exploiting or avoiding them.
