Would You Like A Grandmaster's Simple 6-Step System For Rapid Chess Improvement?
If you're here from the 'How To Win At Chess' 1-Week Coaching Program, you already know this 6-step system, and used it to start winning many more chess games, and boosting your chess rating.
For those who missed the program, here's what your chess community has been saying about it:
'TheChessticulator' on Chess.com: "This Training is FREE. I have paid for Training that cost a small fortune that is nowhere near the Quality of this Training. It is perfect for a beginner or intermediate player. Lots of great tips and ideas. Great job Max."
Alvin B. Yen: "just watched the "How to win at Chess..." It' so cool and awesome, I mean, I did know them, but the way you delivered and explained it means a lot, it's crystal clear!. The better I understand those things, and it fits well. The tips and advices are very practical. I am a practitioner of Caro-Kann and Slav, and I really love it. And will start to consider re-studying London and Jobava London... Thank you very much"
Bob Gladstone: "I have paid good money for "courses" with far less Quality"
Don't waste another minute or cent on low-quality chess videos, or irrelevant books.
The Chess Improvement System 2.0 takes my acclaimed Grandmaster training program to a whole new level.
I created The Chess Improvement System 2.0 as a transition from helping private students win Australian Junior Championship titles, to helping anyone in the chess community improve their rating 100+ points in a year, and, for the most committed students, become a chess champion or chess master.
Here's a success story from the early days of The Chess Improvement System, back when it was primarily a Facebook coaching group:
There are two reasons William was able to achieve such a rapid improvement of 300+ points in a month:
1. I created the perfect community for improving your chess, full of the right people (fellow passionate chess improvers). This created a different energy and vibe in the group, and allowed us to bounce ideas and learn from one another's questions.
2. William took full advantage of this supportive environment, asking us questions whenever he had a challenge, and getting valuable feedback from me and the other members on games he'd played.
It's a similar story with Craig, who asked good questions, followed my training advice, and experienced this incredible result within months of joining our group:
This community, which creates the opportunity for highly engaged, passionate students to improve hundreds of points in months, rather than years, is now stronger than ever.
The 6-step system is complete, with a full Grandmaster curriculum in your members area, showing you how to improve your chess at any level, and transform any of your weaknesses into strengths.
Let's discover each part of this 6-step system to chess mastery for ourselves:
Step 1: My Grandmaster Training Plan
This Training Plan shows you how to improve your chess at any level, no matter how much or how little time you have for chess practice, by following Four straightforward steps. I also show you how to improve any area of your game as quickly as possible, and how to develop the mindset of a Champion.
What makes my system so powerful is that you're going to start experiencing results and improvement from the very first step. For instance, here's how one of the students of my Training Plan recently achieved new peak ratings, after many years of struggling to improve:
The next steps are 'amplifiers' that will take the momentum from your quick wins, and transform them into even greater improvement and, ultimately, chess mastery.
Step 2: Grandmaster Thinking Techniques
Chances are, you have already seen My 5 Best Grandmaster Thinking Techniques:
- Forcing Moves;
- Fighting For The Initiative;
- Targeting The Weakness;
- Prophylaxis/Anticipation; and
- Accumulating Strategic Advantages.
In the Chess Improvement System 2.0, I dive deeper into these techniques, and share many other Grandmaster thinking techniques, so that you can start thinking like a Grandmaster too.
With regular instructive puzzles and exercises, you have everything you need to go from understanding these techniques, to implementing them successfully in your own games and outthinking your opponents.
Here's what IM Cyrus Lakdawala shared about my coaching: "Having worked closely with Max for the last six months, I'm confident that he is in the top tier of chess coaches in the world."
Step 3: The Chess Improvement Repertoire
This step is where I share my great expertise as a chess theoretician, showing you the best moves to play in the opening, and explaining the key ideas and plans to help you win in the middlegame and endgame too!
Here's what GM David Smerdon shared about my opening work:
"…when it comes to chess content, Max is really first class…(I) even hired him as my own second in a (very successful!) GM round-robin event. He's fantastic."
In The Chess Improvement Repertoire, I provide you with a World-Class Opening Repertoire that you can use successfully for the rest of your life.
For instance, GM Wesley So recently used my recommendations in my 1.e4 White repertoire to convincingly defeat the reigning World Champion, Magnus Carlsen, twice in the 2021 Opera Euro Rapid super-tournament, ultimately winning the whole event (see the games below):
So-Carlsen, Opera Euro Rapid Preliminaries (Round 1):
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bb5+ Bd7 4. Bxd7+ Qxd7 5. c4 Nf6 6. Nc3 g6 7. d4 cxd4 8.

Rc2+ 53. Ke1 1-0
So-Carlsen, Opera Euro Rapid Final (Match 1, Game 4):
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. c3 Nf6 5. d4 exd4 6. e5 d5 7. Bb5 Ne4 8. cxd4

Rxd5 34. Rg4 h5 35. Re8+ Kh7 36. Re7+ Kh8 37. Qc1 1-0
That So used the Archbishop Attack in a must-win game speaks volumes to the belief the top players have in this line as a practical weapon.
However, these systems don't just work at the super-GM level - they're also very easy to learn and understand for online and club players, as one of my students in The CIS 2.0 attests:
I also provide a complete Black repertoire, based on the Queen's Gambit Accepted and Caro-Kann Defence for Black (with a full Berlin repertoire vs. 1.e4 planned for March).
What if you want to play some other openings, or start playing a new opening in less than an hour?
We have you covered, with several 'Alternative Repertoires' that allow you to quickly start playing different dangerous opening variations in your own games.
Step 4: Middlegame Mastery - GM Training Videos
One of the most common requests from other chess players is to have more training on middlegames - from middlegame plans and strategy, to conducting a successful attack and defending well.
That's why, as part of 'Middlegame Mastery', you get a special course 'Attacking The King', which shows you how to take control of the game and pressure your opponents into mistakes.
You also discover how to execute an attack successfully, and just as importantly, how to build up a strong attack in the first place, using four key types of attacking advantages that most players don't know!
I cover the more strategic/positional ideas in 'Middlegame Mastery' too, showing you how to both convert an advantage and hold a worse position. I clearly explain the ideas and plans in different positions, discussing/analyzing numerous instructive model games so that you can also have a master's chess understanding.
Step 5: Endgame Mastery - GM Training Videos
The World Champion Jose Raul Capablanca (pictured below) was the most accurate chess player of all time, until Bobby Fischer came on the scene.
In his writing, Capablanca emphasized the importance of mastering the endgame in becoming a great chess player.
After all, how many times have you played a great game and got a winning position, only to throw away many hours of hard work with a blunder in the endgame?
That's why I make sure you've mastered the key theoretical endgame positions - the ones you're most likely to get in your own games, and only the most instructive examples - so that you don't forget them again.
At the same time, endgame mastery is much more than memorizing a small number of key positions. It's also about understanding the key endgame principles, and applying them well with good technique, so that we can convert our advantages into wins, and save many half points from difficult positions.
That's why I also teach you these key principles, and show you how to have Grandmasterly endgame technique, walking you through many instructive games by the greatest endgame players in history - Rubinstein, Capablanca, Karpov, Carlsen, and many other greats.
I also show you how to practice endgames to greatly improve your calculation, imagination and tactical alertness, making previously impossible endgame studies and problems solvable and highly enjoyable for you as a way to significantly improve your chess. In fact, I founded one of the most popular Facebook groups, with IM Cyrus Lakdawala, on this topic - here's a picture of us below:
Put together, this is incredible value...and we have one more step, which makes The Chess Improvement System 2.0 unlike anything else in the chess improvement market.
Step 6: How To Get Help In The Group
I already shared with you how William and Craig were able to improve their ratings hundreds of points in a short period of time by fully leveraging the 'think tank' that is the private Facebook group for Chess Improvement System 2.0 members.
This private Facebook group is your community for you to make new chess friends, learn from each other's questions, and get all your chess questions answered by me and the other chess improvers.
Back when I was a private chess coach, my students often had to wait a week before getting their chess questions answered - which greatly slowed their momentum and improvement.
Now, with The Chess Improvement System 2.0, you can ask your questions in the group at any time, and join in the discussions with your chess friends and stronger players to get the unfair advantage over your opponents.
Ultimately, the people you surround yourself with plays a big factor in your results, and how much you improve.
You could spend most of your time with people who aren't serious about playing better chess, or achieving their improvement goals...
Or, you can learn from me and enjoy your journey to winning more chess games and boosting your rating - by sharing it with other chess players that are more like you:
Passionate, diligent players who give every game and improvement goal their best shot, lend a helping hand to others on their way toward chess mastery, and celebrate each other's wins, big and small.
For all my world-class chess training in The Chess Improvement System 2.0, it's the people I've chosen, and who have chosen me as my mentor, that make The Chess Improvement System 2.0 truly special.
