The last kyu-level barriers

May 2022
(95)

We have completed a huge task of searching and choosing the absolute best (worst?) mistakes that secretly plague most kyu players’ games. Tactical mistakes, strategic mistakes, psychological mistakes — this course will help you get rid of possibly the last remaining shackles that slow you down on your way to 1 dan.

This is a direct sequel to the course Typical Mistakes That Wouldn’t Let Us Get Better.

Suitable for: 10–1 kyu

A huge thanks to: Alexander Dinerstein for helping with examples for the course and Marina Ismail-Akhunova for designing the Nutcracker.

Once of the most helpful courses I've taken. I think it really started to solidify basic ideas like direction of play and finding multi purpose moves. Definitely one I'll come back to watch again. And I'm enjoying looking back over my games from the start of this year with better perspective and noticing many of the mistakes covered in this course!

Probably the most practical course I have taken. It focuses on strategic evaluations and gives very useful analysis on the reasons that explain the value of possible choices. The supporting quizzes provide examples of how and why to evaluate positions.

Very helpful even for SDK. I was surprised at how many of the mistakes in my games usually fall under these categories of typical mistakes. The game reviews provided come from a variety players of different strengths, and are very informative. I love the classical music accompaniments, which go along way in adding some entertainment value, while also making their learning lessons more memorable.

Valuable lessons, but maybe too advanced for beginner players. If you've just started playing, save it to watch later.

Pure gold! It was fun and straight to the point! Another course that we will need to go back to every once in a while until we make these concepts our own.

Very good course that should be revisited every so often. It condenses good principles and notions with memorable board positions. Nevertheless, I still make some of the mistakes but at least I now know to review for them.

5 star just for the dance, hehe. And as the 2.0 it serves the purpose, I do look forward to similar lectures like the dance one in future too. And also thanks for streaming this on youtube, because people who couldn't afford to buy got the chance to learn <3
