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! :)

“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.
You’re not playing chess if you haven’t talked to Brendan. I have regained speed of thought through his coaching, and, yes, points too.” - T. Kaufman (France)

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)

Brendan's methodical approach helped me improve my game 100+ points in two weeks. My understanding and pattern recognition in critical positions is vastly improved and my progress isnt slowing down. Brendan really puts in the time to explain common ideas and encourages a passion for the game of chess. 10/10 Best teacher of the game. - Peter Warren (Australia)
