This course is intended to stretch your mind so that you can spot unique solutions to chess situations. In most cases you can't find the right move by "normal" means. The positions are drawn from my book "Awesome Chess Moves" (Cardoza). The book contains much more analysis than can be presented here, but the main goal is to get you to consider moves that may seem outrageous and see how they work.
Many times you will look at the correct plan, but reject it because you don't see the win. So pay special attention to forcing moves including captures and checks. Look at all of them! What is unplayable at the moment may be the key move later on!
This course covers the most awesome moves in each of the years 1900-1915, except that I skipped 1907 because Rotlevi vs. Rubinstein is too well known. Many of the others you may not have seen before.
