Get the most out of all of your pieces!

Have you ever struggled to get the most potential out of your bishop pair or find the right squares for your pieces? Then this is the course for you! Learning how to get your pieces activated and placed on their best outposts is a difficult skill to learn, but not with this lesson plan. By learning these ideas you will begin deploying your pieces more harmoniously and start racking up the wins! 

Here is what you will learn:

  • How to use the bishop pair in open positions

  • How to cash in on your superior pawn structures
  • Pigs on the 7th!

Passed pawns can be deadly, so you need to keep them blockaded. Knights are great blockading pieces because they can jump over the pawn and remain active.

Outposts

An outpost is a square for a piece that cannot be attacked by an opposing pawn. In particular, it helps when that square is defended by one of your pawns and controls key squares in the opponent's position.
