Course Description

Are you a beginning or hobby chess player who wants to start winning a LOT more games? "Chess is 99 percent tactics." - Richard Teichmann This course breaks down the most frequent (yet powerful!) chess tactics so that anybody can pick them up and employ them against their opponents. You will be learning these powerful chess tactics from a professional chess coach of more than 10 years who truly takes his students results seriously. Each lecture has a companion PDF in the supplementary materials section which is highly recommended to be studied with the lecture over-the-board. Students who use both the video lecture and its PDF companion will reap the best rewards in terms of their playing level and tactical ability but simply watching the lectures alone will still substantially boost any chess player's tactical level and practical results. If you need an extra nudge into the course, just listen to some of my wonderful student's kind words! :) By the way you give great lessons, my elo raised by 50 in 2 days of following your videos and posts, great stuff, keep it up! - N. Tomasevic (Serbia) You are a wonderful chess coach. Your passion for the game and dedication to your students improvement are only some of the factors as to why more people need such great guidance. I only had like 10 lessons with you and in less than 3 weeks my rating jumped 200-300 points on chess dot com. - E. Franca (Australia) To have a one on one conversation with Brendan is like having my mind open tenfold. His patience, knowledge, enthusiasm, perseverance, speed of thought have me in awe. Youre not playing chess if you havent talked to Brendan. I have regained speed of thought through his coaching, and, yes, points too. - T. Kaufman (France) Ready to get started?

I have a long tournament experience and I take your chess training/improvement very seriously.
Are you ready to add a new dimension to your chess and have former rivals humiliated by your terrifying newskills?
Take my course and get started!
Here are some testimonials from my previous and current pupils:
I am very happy with your coaching style the past 6 months. History does remind me that you coached me when i was a 12 year old boy. But several years in the future your knowledge and tips have really helped me grow in my chess ability. I am able to play more aggressively and tear apart opposition who are faint hearted. I thank you for the rating gains over the past 6 months, 400 points in online blitz is a clear example of this and my ACF and Fide are around 1600. The rating goal of 2000 is looking promising. - Justin Dingley (Australia)

The tactics are pretty useful

Very good enjoying the course

Chess tactics 101
Good material and visual presentation.
BUT: Speaker unprofessional behavior is a turn off. Appears in all videos with worn out T-shirt; yawning w/o covering mouth; sarcastic.. lacks repeat for the audience.

By Rambabu Nalluri on 8/18/2020

I used these strategies when I was a kid, not sure if this course is tuned towards young people still learning Chess?

By Sriraj on 8/9/2020

good course. thank you. Instructions are very clear. One suggestion, most of the worksheet questions you have already covered in your video, so perhaps some new examples could be included for us to try and solve.

By Benny Tjhang on 7/26/2020

Yes, I'm enjoying it.

By Adriel Lubarsky on 6/26/2020

Easier than I thought.

By Paul Nichols on 6/6/2020

By Swati Mantri on 5/21/2020

By Shubh Chawda on 5/15/2020
