I am FIDE Master ENEASZ and my highest ELO was about 2400. I have a BLOG and STUDENT'S GROUP at chess.com. I am 27 years old and I studied Finance and Accountancy at University of Economics in Katowice. I am TOP BLOGGER, chess.com Coach and an entrepreneur - owner of Akademia Eneasza I want to show quite extensive training materials prepared by me, over which I spent several hours. It is free for You to show and learn. I use it to teach my chess students. It concerns my games mostly from Polish, Czech, and Slovak leagues. There are also some from other international blitz and rapid tournaments. It is, therefore, essential that my material is unique because it is not grouped to openings, middle games, or endgames. I looked at it from a completely different perspective, and I decided to fill the gap. All the issue concerns another separate piece that played a crucial role in the commented games. I analyse games and justify why I played such moves during each game. Have a look at particular piece schedule above and let's click in a link to go to appropriate training materials: POWERFULL PIECES KING QUEEN ROOK BISHOP KNIGHT PAWN I want to introduce you to my series of articles: "How to beat a Grandmaster?" It combines my games from not only chess.com, but also blitz and rapid tournaments like European Chess Championship or classical events like round-robin GM torunaments or chess leagues from different countries, when I am a part of my team.

One of my favorites is the knight because it's unique compared to other pieces and is the only piece that can jump over other pieces! What's yours?

Here are some fun facts that you might've not known! 1. Did you know that in WW2, the best chess players were also master code breakers? 2. The longest possible game could go on for 5,949 moves! I wonder how much time would pass... 3. The longest chess game was 269 moves, and it ended in a draw! 4. Studies show that the game was created in India in the 7th century!

Welcome to my post! Please view videos and subscribe to my channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33hJ7MPPwCk I teach One-to-One on zoom at 20 USD an hour and 10 USD an hour for small group of not more than 6 players. My name is Cengiz Hasman (45 years old) and I am a UK National Master but live in Kyrenia, Northern Cyprus and I speak fluent English (with a British accent) and Turkish. After I have found out the goal of my student, I will then construct the lessons accordingly. It might be concentrating on vital middlegame positions, must-know endgames and/or choosing a suitable opening repertoire if required. I recommend daily tactic solving and have a simple but effective suggestion in this regard. I use skype and zoom as well as Houdini and the chess.com analysis board. I have a Fide rating of 2101. I have had good results against many Titled players but now work as a Chess Coach in Cyprus. I have played in the London League on top boards, 4NCL and the North Circular Chess League for Wood Green. In fact, Wood Green won this League a few times after I became captain. I have contributed a lot to my teams in Cyprus winning 1st Division League Titles. I have attended a Coaching Development Course by IM Vladimir Grabinsky, a well known coach. One of my students, an unrated 11 year old achieved a 1700+ elo performance in a tournament in Serbia. I have been coaching for 6 years Thanks in advance! Cengiz

TRAPS AND TRICKS 1. Deadly Trap in Budapest gambit ( brilliant bishop sacrifice !!) BUDAPEST GAMBIT TRAP * Use Budapest gambit trap for a quick win. This is a very sound gambit against d4. It’s the sharp gambit but if you treat this gambit carefully then you are safe. * Strong players use this gambit against beginners and club players for quick results. * Budapest gambit trap is one of the traps which d4 players should prepare, because if white gets into this trap then he needs to resign within 10 moves. * In give trap black's double bishop and a knight sacrifice forces Black's king in a mating net . Checkout here : https://youtu.be/sL9_C441lfw 2. Queen Trap in french defense Queen trap in french defence in winawer advance variation.Here black tried to win a pawn but missed the idea of white which trapped his queen.

Legal trap * The Legal Trap is one of the more common traps that any chess player will come across. This is because it is found in a very common opening and none of the moves made by black look terribly bad on the surface. * As we can see though, black will have to make a choice to take the bait from white and capture the queen, losing the game, or instead go down in material and fight on to see another day. * Anytime a player exposes his queen, it is really hard for the other player not to take it. That is why this trap works so well. Also if they don’t take the bait, you are still in a great position. Checkout here : https://youtu.be/pLVVIToTcFA 6. Elephant trap in Queen's gambit * The Elephant Trap derives from the Queen’s Gambit Declined lines. Black defends the Queens Gambit by simply developing his pawn to e6, keeping the tension on the d5 pawn. White continues to develop his knight and apply even more pressure. * Black then starts to set the elephant trap by developing his own knight to f6, baiting the white bishop to come to f5, pinning the knight down to the queen. Black simply brings his own knight to d7. * At first glance, this move looks like a mistake by black. If white sees this and falls for the trap, though, it will be a huge mistake. * Black can simply sacrifice his own queen with the forced moves that will win back white’s queen and put black in a dominating position. Checkout here : https://youtu.be/bwHI_2AsKRs 7. Rubenstein trap ( trapping queen ) * The Rubinstein Trap is a chess opening trap in the Queen's Gambit Declined, Orthodox Defense. * Black loses a pawn after Nxd5 due to the threat of his queen being trapped on the back rank by White's Bc7. Checkout here : https://youtu.be/5qSFuO4qYBA 8. Bobby's trap in Sicilian defense ( brilliant bishop sacrifice !!) * Bobby Fischer was the first chess player to introduce this trap hence it's name " Bobby's trap ". This trap is played in Sicilian defence as white against black. * Starting with the king pawn opening for white versus the sicilian defense from black, white places his light square bishop on b3 and dares black to move his knight to a5. If black refuses, white still has a solid setup and a good game ahead. Checkout here : https://youtu.be/hAMaH4TNi_s 9. Deadliest bishop pair and rarest queen's sacrifice !! A brilliant and most rarest queen sacrifice which leads double bishop checkmate in all variations. I found this bishop pair to be deadliest one. What you think guys ?😊 Comment below. Check out here : https://youtu.be/N0l0Di_Pt9Y 10. All pieces hanging !! ( Siegfried's Brilliancy will blow your mind ) Siegfried Nadel played a 14 move brilliant game which will surely blow your mind 🔥 . All pieces are hanging but his opponent did'nt dare to capture even a single of them ( cause all variations will lead to Checkmate ) Even Queen hunged for 4 moves and on 5th move it delivered checkmate . This game feature double knight sacrifice which probably you have never seen it before I was shocked by this idea . Checkout here : https://youtu.be/ONR9_bDoysE 11. Can you spot 1st move ?
