How to Avoid Mistakes
and Boost Your Winning Rate (Download)
by Vishnu Prasanna

Doesn’t every chess game get decided by mistakes? Absolutely. But most players never truly comprehend that they are making the same kind of mistakes over and over again. The first task is to identify these mistakes and label them. Then the next time you sit at the chessboard, you are aware and able to avoid them.

- GM Vishnu Prasanna is one of the most respected chess trainers in India. He is the coach of the current Indian no.1 player D. Gukesh – his main coach for his journey from 2200 to 2750 Elo. Vishnu has used his immense experience to touch upon the topic of mistakes in chess. -

Vishnu groups mistakes into the following categories:

1. Unforced Errors
2. Tactical & Positional mistakes
3. Psychological mistakes
4. Calculation & Assessment mistakes
5. Good positional moves that are mistakes

With more than 20 examples, you get a firm understanding of each type of mistake. IM Sagar Shah asks pertinent questions, and has also made cards, shown throughout the videos, that ensure you can firmly grasp the nature of the mistakes. Vishnu discusses how to fix these mistakes, and how his students - Gukesh, Leon Mendonca, Surya Ganguly and himself! - all very strong grandmasters, managed to fix the mistakes that they were making - leading to serious improvement in their play. To conclude, there are test positions to reinforce your understanding of the subject. If you study this course carefully, it will help you to become a stronger and more aware chess player, and will surely lead to a rise in your level of play.

Customer Service Beyond Expectation

First of all, the chess set is beautiful. I gave it to my son two Christmases ago and he plays it constantly. He is very proud of it. So...when our dog captured the pawn and chewed it, my son was bummed. I contacted Chess Central and they said that they would work on it. I totally forgot about it and figured I'd never hear back. Today, guess what arrived in the mail? The black pawn! My son actually did a little jig. Thank you, ChessCentral.

This is by far the most impressive chess set I've ever seen!!

Now you have to know up front when buying online I generally look at the three star and lower reviews, so I ordered this set with a lot of skepticism, just sure something was going to be FUBAR,...... Boy was I wrong!! I got the set and carefully un-packed it and was just amazed. It is PERFECT!! Seems that all the every flaw that had been complained about in the three star and less reviews had been addressed by the manufacturer!! So being eager to show it off and being a good ole boy, I invite my buddies over and we all set out on the porch {now that the weather is finally getting nice out} and play from noon until sunset. I enjoy all the compliments this beautiful the set gets, and everyone loves to play on it!!

I've shopped at ChessCentral three times now, and twice I've had questions about a particular product. I don't know much about chess software. Anyway, I was shocked to receive detailed answers later that same day! I mean, who does that? Shipping was fast and well packaged. All in all, a great chess website.
