How do you get the opponent away from his or her plans and take over the game?

IM Jeremy Silman knows that much has been made of psychology in chess, but there’s not much out there about getting inside the opponent’s head and controlling the pace of the game. Once you buy into your opponent's version of reality, defeat isn't far away. This course is all about making an opponent accept your "orders." Learn how to impose your plans on your opponents today!

Here is what you will learn:

  • Learn how to take strategic control in complicated positions.
  • Practice determining which threats are real and which can be ignored!
  • Learn from Silman’s own games and those of top players!

"I think Mr.Silman is awesome. I love chess but didn't understand what it is really about. I dominate my friends with his simple teachings about imbalances. I think I'm learning at an incredible rate and I owe it all to Jeremy, and this site because the tools that they offer help! If you apply yourself, you will grow as a player and a person"! - Chess.com user HarpersFerry7

Total Supplication
