My Opponent’s Threats: Piece Safety Training

MoveTrainer® Tactics course by jdac (2186 FIDE)

Stop Dropping Points - Start Noticing Your Opponent's Threats!

How many times have you had a clear attacking idea, perhaps calculated by several moves, only to have your opponent deliver a checkmate you didn't see coming?

My Opponent's Threats: Piece Safety Training is for any player that can successfully find tactical patterns, yet finds themself dropping points to attacks out of the blue.

Failing to identify your opponent's attack is one of the biggest barriers to progress for new players - and by simply identifying threats, you can deal with them.

You will see several examples on defensive topics that are basic to improve your chess skills across the board.

This course is divided into 9 chapters on the most important defensive topics which you train as puzzles. In total, there are over 200 puzzles, with a final test on all topics at the end.

The topics covered:

🛡️Pieces under attack - identify when a piece of yours is threatened, and find a safe home for it

🛡️Defend and protect - use your other pieces to keep a piece under attack safe

🛡️Finding enemy threats - learn common patterns your opponents use and spot them before you're under attack

🛡️Detect your weaknesses - learn to detect the weak points of your position so you may properly defend them

🛡️Can I take it? - train your intuition to decide whether that free piece is really free, or if you're being set up

🛡️Best captures - when faced with multiple ways to capture, do you know which is best and which leaves you most vulnerable?

🛡️Several pieces under attack - find how to defend several pieces being threatened with a single move

🛡️Intermediate moves - threaten your opponent and force them to respond, saving you from their threats

🛡️Look for the King - identify when your most important piece is in danger and use the methods taught to save yourself from checkmate

All you need for each puzzle is to find 1-2 moves. Once you do, you'll understand not only your opponent's threats but how to make more threats of your own!
