is designed for very experienced players who want only advanced chess challenges. Chess Mentor for Advanced Players contains the same Learning engine
features and functions as any Chess Mentor product, but the challenges come exclusively from advanced course material. Any current or future Supplementary Chess Course
may be added as desired to your Chess Mentor modular learning system. The Chess Mentor free demo now includes all of the functionality of every Chess Mentor product, including the ability to accept supplementary
courses. This allows you to build your own customized Chess Mentor product. For those who prefer a pre-packed program, we still have the Chess Mentor for Advanced Players configuration available.
Chess Mentor for Advanced Players includes all the material from the following three advanced Supplementary Chess courses:
Silman's Lessons in Strategy (1), by IM Jeremy Silman. This course contains 50
very instructive positional challenges. Some are very long (exceeding 20 moves and one lasts 40 moves), and experts and masters (USCF or Elo ratings above 2000) will not find many of these to be easy. A novice or
intermediate level player (USCF or Elo ratings below 2000) will find these challenges quite difficult, but they will learn a bit more with each attempt, all the way until they reach master or higher.
Master Your Technique, by FM Thomas Wolski. This Course contains 50 rich and thoroughly analyzed challenges. The majority of these challenges focus on complex middlegame positions, the art of transition from the
middlegame to the endgame, and on endgames themselves. This course is aimed at all players from the intermediate level to masters. Experts and even masters (FIDE and USCF ratings over 2000) will not find these
challenges easy. Many of the challenges will be hard for the intermediate player, but they will learn a bit more with each attempt until they become a master of technique. The challenges feature an average length of 10
moves.
World Champions at their Best (2) -The Lasker Years, by IM Jeremy Silman. Jeremy continues his historical trek, moving on to the games of the man whose reign as World Champion lasted longer than any
other -- an amazing 27 years. Emanuel Lasker was a polymath and, in addition to his chess, he was an accomplished mathematician and philosopher who was also a personal friend of Albert Einstein. Lasker believed that
chess was a struggle, and was probably the first champion to take a psychological approach to chess. His games reflect this attitude as he was willing to take tremendous risks, and even intentionally make inferior
moves, in order to create uncomfortable positions for his opponents. 50 Challenges with historical background of each player and match.
