While tactics win battles, strategy wins wars. Positional Play & Strategy is a must for players ready to move beyond short-term tricks and into long-term planning. This course helps students understand the deeper logic behind great moves—why masters put pieces where they do, and how to create pressure over time.

Through annotated master games, guided exercises, and practical play, students will learn how to take control of a position and steer the game in their favor with patience and precision.

What you’ll learn:

  • Key positional concepts: weak squares, strong outposts, pawn structure
  • How to formulate and execute a plan
  • Space control, tension, and tempo
  • The art of improving your worst piece
  • Trade decisions: when to simplify or maintain complexity
  • Strategic thinking in the opening and middlegame
