Dear Chess Friends,
A very special thing happened to me last night. I wanted to play one more blitz game online, so I clicked on the 'Play' button and the system gave me Fabiano Caruana as my opponent! At first, I couldn’t believe my eyes, so I needed to check his username three times, but it was true… I was so excited!
We played a crazy game with a wonderful checkmate at the end, that was a huge experience for me, so I wanted to share it with you. I made a video analysis of it, I hope you'll enjoy the game!
You can watch the full video (20 mins) with a FREE subscription on my Patreon channel here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/my-crazy-game-121561642?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link
I hope you'll find it useful. If you like it and you want to see my private educational videos, you can choose a membership on my Patreon channel which is suitable for you. Now, you can do that with a huge VALENTINE’S DAY DISCOUNT (50%) till 14th February. I upload 4-6 hours of videos / month and you can learn about openings, strategies, tactics and endgames, too.

Dear Chess Friends,
Chess is a very complex game. It’s not enough if you know the openings very well or you learn a lot of tactical motives. You’ll always miss things if you don’t use a structured thinking method, that’s the basis of everything. I worked out a system what I also use in my own games and that’s what I would like to teach you through a concrete example in this video. You can watch the full video (25 mins) with a FREE subscription on my Patreon channel here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/tactical-and-in-121183796?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link
The main topics what you can learn from this video:
- How to use the tactical thinking method (checks, captures, threats) properly
- How to use the strategic thinking method (imbalances connected to the kings, pieces, pawns, weak squares) properly
- How to improve your pieces
- How to attack a castled king
- Beautiful checkmate motives
I hope you'll find it useful. If you like it and you want to see my private educational videos, you can subscribe to my Patreon channel. I upload 4-6 hours of videos / month and you can learn about openings, strategies, tactics and endgames, too. I also upload daily puzzles in 4 levels every day.

Dear Chess Friends,
A few days ago I saw an amazing attacking game, in which White sacrifices many pieces to checkmate the Black king. I think it was a really instructive one (one of the best games I've ever seen), so I made a video of it.

The main topics what you can learn from this video:
- How to exploit your development advantage
- How to attack against the king in the middle
- Destructive sacrifices
- The Greek Gift
- Boden's mate
I hope you'll find it useful. If you like it and you want to see my private educational videos, you can choose a membership on my Patreon channel.

On this day, on the night of the 10th of October, one of the greats in the anime verse was born - Naruto Uzumaki. ✨
Since then, he has shown anime lovers his true character - a combination of optimism, strength, carefreeness, and compassion to everyone around him.
Although not having his parents around him growing up, he had never let his past define him or bring him down. Instead, he worked his way up to his dream of Hokage, and the protector of his village. 💪
Naruto Uzumaki is the embodiment of spirit and willpower, and will forever live in the hearts of all anime fans. ❤️
Thank you Naruto for stirring such a change in the history of anime - truly one of the Big Three!
Throughout your early life, you had mostly celebrated your birthday alone, therefore on this day, all of us around the world wish you a very Happy Birthday! 🎉
May you never celebrate your birthday alone from now on. May you continue bringing peace to your world and find the same peace within yourself and your lovely family. 💞
You'll forever be my favourite anime character, as well as many others...
Once again, let us all together wish happy birthday to Naruto Uzumaki - the 7th Hokage!
Dattebayo!!! だってばよ!!!

"I’m the one to do you good,Out of sleep, out of foodOnly thinking nights and days,How to make the best chess aids...*"
in the original version,the fox thought about helping animals....Jan Wiktor Lesman (Jan Brzechwa)“The Mischiefs of Vitalis the Fox”
A Practical GuideA few practical guidelines can facilitate the decision-making process,but without doubt they only present a certain problem in simple terms.Chess, however, is a highly complicated game and each general rule containsa lot of exceptions. It is our task to spot the moment in which one of theseexceptions occurs.
Look for weaknesses!
When driving, drivers use traffic signs as a form of guidance. For chessplayers, such traffic signs are weaknesses.Squares in the centre and in one’s own camp, which are not defendedby pawns, can easily become weak. Avoid exchanging pieces which defendthese squares. If your opponent has a weakened complex of squares ofa given colour, try to exchange the Bishops that control these squares.Isolated pawns or especially doubled isolated pawns become a long-termtarget for enemy pieces. The square in front of an isolated pawn is oftenweak and can become a perfect outpost for the opponent’s piece. Do notweaken the pawn structure unless doing so will bring you tangible benefits.Remember that pawns do not move backwards!Pawns can also be potential tactical weaknesses, especially when thedifference between the number of attackers and defenders of a given targetis equal to or greater than zero. In such case, each additional and unexpectedattack of the opponent, especially double attack, may result in our materiallosses.Pieces can also be tactical as pieces are easier to move around than pawns,they are considered to be more strategical than tactical weaknesses.More often they are considered to be strategic weaknesses when their acti-vity is limited by our own or our opponent’s pawns. Do not let that happen!
You should consider your moves in the following order:a) forcing movesa1) checksa2) capturesa3) attacking weaknessesb) non-forcing movesWhen you have a space disadvantage, try to exchange pieces. This willincrease your chances of finding a good spot for each of your chessmen.When you have a space advantage, try not to exchange pieces.Play on the side of the board where you have a space advantage.If you have a lead in development, open up the position. The enemy King caneasily find himself in trouble. The opening of a position is also good whenyou have the Bishops and your opponent has the Knights.When you are the side with the Bishops, try to establish an asymmetricalpawn structure.Do not leave your King without any defending pieces. Also, make sure thatthe King has an escape square, where he could take refuge in case of a checkalong the back rank.

We don't know each other, so you may have trouble believing what I'm writing. The old chess rule says "believe but verify", so I recommend this method.
I have almost 50 years of chess experience, which I pass on to people in the form of my books and guides. I sold over a thousand books in Poland. I believe I can achieve this in other countries too, which is why I have created English and German versions of my books.
The greatest advantage of my publications is their simplicity. You will understand them easily.
How can I help you?
1. The guide that you can download from my website will help you look at chess better and not lose pieces unnecessarily.
2.The books, excerpts of which you will find on this website, will teach you a strategic approach to chess.
Spend some of your time and you won't regret it.
If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.

"These strategic manuals by two experienced trainers are a must for any instructor! I recommend using them for students with USCF ratings ranging from 1300 to 2500.
I have read many instructional books since my junior years but never have I come across such an easy-to-digest way of presenting examples—only a few moves with simple, clear verbal explanations of the ideas from the players themselves! The examples used vary in level of difficulty and going through all of them will only solidify one’s strategic understanding. The exercise chapters (Chapter 3 for Vol 1 and Chapter 7 for Vol 2) add more instructive value as it can be used either as in-class group exercises or individual homework.
Any club leader, camp instructor or chess coach will be able to find the topical chapters useful when preparing for their regular lessons. And I won’t be surprised if they improve their strategic intuition as well in the process!”

„Much appreciated. I have over 2,000 books in my collection now. Nothing quite like yours, which are nicely direct and concise, very appealing. So many others are well written but are very long or not quite clear.”
