Is Yury Markushin Material any good?

Sort:
Chapter_Eleven

Is Yury Markushin material good?  Is it too basic?  Is it too thin?  I think I would be better just investing that money into one phase of the game, then thinking I could really cover so many bases (indepth); or who knows maybe he does provide a substantial amount of key nuggets and quantity.

What say ye?  http://www.thechessworld.com/supercharge/

Sounds like GM-RAM but with supplemental material to me

I started the 21 days to Supercharge your chess course and I write about my experiences daily at http://www.chess.com/blog/attilaturzo/supercharge-day-1---my-goals I like how it is structured and remembered me how important to have goals!

I am currently on day 22, and think it is one of the better study tools out there.

If you don't mind, may I ask if you paid full price for it?

Even better is Smirnov's RCA courses.

Exactly delagarza1! I'd recommend you to buy SMIRNOV'S courses as they are much more comprehensive and better structured. I have few copies of his Positional Understanding course and 6 bonus courses. They all are worth $350. If you are interested I can provide it to you for just $40. Contact me if you wish to grab the deal.

You are in day 22? The training is only 21 days... 😉 The tips are usefull, the rest is over the top. It does not help me at all. Most tactics i cant see the solution, or dont make any sense. The matches are not making any sense either. See i am not a grandmaster, developing a game in that way is not my way of playing. So for all who wants to follow it i would advise to spent your money on something more usefull.

Igor Smirnovs first 2 courses are very good.

There are more than 21 days in the course...

If there are more than 21 days of training, why is it called 21 days to supercharge your chess?

You would need to invest some time into the program to find out...

You can also buy his 14-day course on positional play/strategy. His stuff is all right, but don't expect any miracles (look at my rating), feels like a basic primer. He is rated around an expert or maybe CM level.

ichess and chessworld are the best sources for good and instructive online materials if you ask me. And yes, Yury's materials are wonderful, I am doing 21 days supercharge chess bundle, also I watch gingermaster Simon William's videos. I add some more spice with Master of attack-Alexander Alekhine in which I learn principles of playing attacking chess. For middlegame- Anna Rudolph, Simon Williams, Valeri Lilov give best lectures. Some more computer analysis on lichess completes everything up. All this has helped me from 1300 rated guy to beating 1716 rated guy on lichess. I also managed to beat 8 year old on play Magnus app. My game has really taken the upward turn. You can trust on Markushin's materials. They are a bit costly but really instructive. On top of all these, you can refer Dereq Kelly videos on YouTube for openings. On top of that if you want even more, then you may hire a personal Skype chess coach.
