♟️ Master Game Planning — New Group Cycle Starts Friday, Sep 19

Have you ever reached a “normal” middlegame and thought… now what—should I attack or what? This cycle is for you.

Master Game Planning is a focused group program where you’ll learn a simple, repeatable framework to choose the right plan in real games—so you stop drifting and start converting.

What you’ll be able to do after 4 weeks

• Read any position fast: Spot imbalances, targets, and typical plans in under 60 seconds.
• Choose the right plan: Use concrete triggers (king safety, pawn structure, piece activity) to guide your next 3–5 moves.
• Convert small edges: Turn “slightly better” into wins without giving counterplay.
• Handle equal positions: Stop waiting—create problems your opponent must solve.

How the course works

• One live lesson per week (example-driven, no fluff)
• Guided exercises you can do in 10–15 minutes
• Game reviews: Submit your games; we’ll discuss planning decisions and fixes
• Full recordings & materials with lifetime access for enrollees

Week-by-week syllabus (at a glance)

1. Week 1 — The Planning Framework: Imbalances, targets, worst piece, candidate plans.
2. Week 2 — Typical Plans by Structure: IQP, Carlsbad, Maroczy & more; when plans don’t apply.
3. Week 3 — Converting Advantages: Space, better minor piece, healthy structure → safe progress.
