Find Your Worst Piece – And Win

Dear Chess Friends!

Have you ever reached a position where nothing tactical is happening…
and you simply don’t know what plan to make next?

Strong players rarely “play random improving moves.”
They follow one powerful strategic principle:

Find your worst piece — and improve it.

In my new workshop, “The Worst Piece in Your Position”, we will explore one of the most practical thinking tools in chess — how improving a single passive piece can completely transform your position, sometimes without any tactics at all.

🗓 Date: 03/29
Time: 11 a.m. EDT, 4 p.m. UK time, 5 p.m. CET
(Please note that most European countries switch to summer time this Sunday.
As a result, the workshop will start 1 hour later than usual for participants in Europe.)

In this session, you'll learn:

  • How to identify your worst piece in any position
  • Why limited mobility often makes a piece strategically useless
  • How piece improvement can create new plans and attacking chances
  • When to maneuver, when to open lines with pawn breaks, and when to exchange a bad piece
  • How to improve a piece with tempo, creating threats while regrouping

Why harmonious piece placement often leads to natural tactics and combinations

​Why should you attend?​​
If you often reach playable positions but feel lost without tactics…
If you want to build clear strategic plans instead of guessing…
If you want your pieces to work together in harmony…

This workshop will give you a clear, practical framework to break harmful habits and make stronger decisions.
