The Chess Toolbox 3: Attack and Defense will unlock a sharper, more dangerous chess player in you.

Give attacking coach International Master Thomas Willemze just 30 days — and your transformation might shock you!

Willemze was a former chess prodigy and a 4-time Dutch Youth Champion. He also ran off with the 2005 Leiden Championship... scoring 6 out 7 and earning a spot at the Dutch National Championship, where he beat his first grandmaster.

Off the board, he’s a professional analyst with over 12 years of experience.

He’s consulted for the Netherlands’ Air Traffic Control (LVNL) and the Rathenau Institute. He combs through tons of data, back-solves then predicts results every single day.

And in The Chess Toolbox 3, Willemze infuses your game with the same step-by-step rigor. So your attacks transform…

From A Hopeful Gamble To A
Clear, Consistent Process

…One where you stay one step ahead, actively setting up your win!

Inside, Willemze has prepared 5 and a half hours of video and 178 MoveTrainer exercises. At just 7 exercises a day, you could turn into that unflinching, laser-accurate attacker in 30 days or less.

Let’s take a tour.

You sign up for the course. Then you open the first chapter. Right away, Willemze explains the 3 universal, step-by-step sacrifices every improver must master.

“Universal” because you’ll see them across 3 major pawn structures… no matter your openings.

And “step by step” because they guide you through all 4 stages of a winning attack. From rallying the pieces, breaching enemy lines, to taking out defenders and delivering mate!

With the Greek Gift sacrifice, your e5-pawn clears the way for Bxh7+. Then your pieces rush to the kingside with tempo, leaving the opponent no time to mount a defense!

Is the center wide open? Perfect! Now you unleash Lasker Double Bishop sacrifice… battering down walls and closing in on the king.

And when enemy pawns line up like this, you peel them away with the Caro-Kann sacrifices… while learning how to pick out the right entry square.

Right after this introduction, Willemze’s analytical brilliance shines. He won’t hammer you with 1,001 repetitive exercises... hoping the moves click.

Instead, he takes a smarter route.

He reverse-engineers each sacrifice. He explores how they are best countered. So you can shut down these defenses, ensuring your offense hits the mark.

🎯 A devastating discovered check looming over your head? Attack the back piece until it leaves your king alone.

🎯 Recruit your queen into the defense — even if they’re stuck on the other side of the board — by clearing the 7th rank.

🎯 Dive into the art of returning material and nipping an attack in the bud.

🎯 Learn how to cover the critical squares after a sacrifice… ruling out crushing follow-ups.



By now, you’ve built a rock-solid defensive technique. So Willemze layers on this foundation with the exact attacking plans for beating the defenses you just learned!
🎯 Unsure where to put your queen? Sneak into this precise spot near the enemy king. Then watch your mating net tighten!

🎯 Overwhelm the 7th rank defense by attacking from two different directions.

🎯 Pick the right rook lift by spotting x-ray attacks hiding behind enemy pawns.

🎯 Too many tempting checks, captures, and threats? Just follow Willemze’s tip on chapter 2 section 3, and rest easy knowing you’ve found the right move order!

🎯 Then master the staircase maneuver for freezing the entire position, while you walk up to deliver the final blow.


Each sacrifice also includes 5 flashcards for mastering its 5 most critical techniques double time. Think of it as your “refresher” after an intense, insightful class.

Finally, every section ends with a “Yes or No?” test — challenging you to prove your point through your moves.

Is this sacrifice correct?

Is 14.Bxh7+ correct? If not,
how do you refute it?


If “yes,” then you carry out the combination to its glorious conclusion. If “no,” then you refute it with the strongest counter available!

It’s the kind of training that supercharges — not only your attack and defense — but especially your critical thinking.

That’s why we’re confident that The Chess Toolbox 3 can transform the entire way you play. It gives you move-by-move clarity and confidence. So you can finally stop hoping your attacks will succeed — and start knowing they will!

Our 30-day “love it or return it” guarantee ensures you enjoy the attacking breakthrough you were dreaming of… or we set everything right.
