The Definitive Chess Strategy Course

“Should I launch the attack, or do I need more preparation?”
“Should I trade this bishop for that knight?”
“Should I change the pawn structure, or keep it?”

Such questions dominate the making of chess strategy, but general rules of thumb you learn here and there are difficult to apply in every circumstance. Chess strategy can only be mastered by knowing when to apply which concept in a given scenario - and to do that, you need a rich understanding of many types of positions.

That’s where Swedish Chess Champion and Grandmaster Johan Hellsten comes in. This renowned pro is one of the leading names when it comes to chess strategy books, and he has the experience to back it up: he’s not only won the top spot in his own country, he’s represented the Swedes on their national team in the Chess Olympiads and European Chess Championships!

And with his famous book Mastering Chess Strategy now on Chessable, you can absorb his teachings with MoveTrainer®.

Learn to Apply the Right Strategy in Any Scenario

GM Hellsten’s philosophy is that chess strategy, much like tactics, needs to be practiced through repetition. And with more than 200 informational variations and 800 practical exercises, you’ll have plenty of it.

Much of the benefit of this course lies within its format and its thoroughness. In each chapter, GM Hellsten teaches you a strategic concept by walking you through master games with descriptive annotations. Then, you’ll test your knowledge in practical exercises to ensure you can apply that concept in any relevant position.

You’ll master dozens of strategic concepts, including:

♟Engineering a successful attack (or defense)
♟Creating and exploiting weaknesses
♟Changing pawn structure when necessary
♟Playing positionally vs. materialistically
♟Employing prophylactic ideas before attacking when necessary
♟And much more!
