The last kyu-level barriers

May 2022
(101)

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.

Very enjoyable course — rich in knowledge and hands‑on practice, all brought together in a single package and immersed in strong cultural themes and references. Also, that darth vader reference at when not to inVADE, not to join them, was awesome. Thanks a lot and may the sente be with you.

Course is great. I personally do not like the cartoon figure, but this is just personal taste and does not change the positive rating at all

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.

We'd love to know what you think!
