Guaranteed Success


Use our gym and become a winner


"If you join our gym and sign on for the course, you will get a total guarantee - without quibble - that on completing the course your chess WILL develop in a way that will be noticeable and significantly improve your results"



Dear Chess Player (or aspiring player)

Imagine that you could be guaranteed to develop your chess ability so that you could play to your full potential and become a winner. No ifs, no buts.

I can tell you that as an experienced grandmaster, I would not blame you for being sceptical of any such claim.

After working for years as an author in the tangled jungle of books, videos, CDs, coaching etc. etc. etc., I know the problems. If anyone had told me they had a magic bullet that would improve chess rapidly, I would have laughed in their face.

But today I am pleased to announce a breakthrough in chess training, namely

The Improve Your Chess Gym


that will quickly get you to a level that you simply didn't think was possible.

And the reasons are as follows:

The gym has been given clear approval by users from near beginners to above average competitive players after testing its effectiveness.

The gym has been put together by some of the top coaches in the world who understand what is needed by players of up to about 2000 strength.

The gym focuses on a particular - and much neglected - area of chess improvement, namely tactics in the opening, middle game and endgame that are your passport to success.

But most of all, you get an unrivalled, complete money-back guarantee of  your chess improving after completeing the course.

You can rest assured that before my publisher (a very average chess player) gave the guarantee, he made sure the gym was tried and tested and guaranteed to bring improvement.

At this point you may be asking yourself the following questions:

Why is the gym better than reading books or watching a chess video?


In a word...it is interactive....which means that you are not reading a bunch of theory, you are actually doing the work and being timed and scored. . There is simply no better way of improving.


What is it that makes the gym training so successful?


Good question. Every chess master and expert will tell you that there is one element in chess that every player up to master strength has to improve if they want to develop...and it is that element - tactics - which are at the heart of our exercises.

Now we come to the nitty gritty...

How the course works and how it can benefit you.

First you sign on as a gym member under our full no quibble money back guarantee .

Immediately you can then start the course which comes in 52 workouts (four workouts a month) designed to help all players fulfil their potential as chess players and play winning chess.


IMPORTANT POINT


Our strong recommendation to all gym members is to do the course one work-out a week of the four work-outs you get a month...perhaps twice...that way you will get the most out of it. However, if you want to do your monthly work-outs faster or slower...it is up to you.

There are three courses:

The novice/beginners course: This is for you if you are a near beginner (you know the moves but not much else!) and will help you rapidly improve to the point where you can play competitive chess.

The intermediate course: This is for you if you have had some experience of playing chess, even competitively, and is ideal for players up to a grading of around 1500.

The advanced course:This is for you if you are already an above average competitive chess player and is ideal for people with a grading of up to around 2000 and who want to get to expert or even master level..

The following are what's available at the gym ..

Exercise Room
Where you will have a group of exercises at your particular strength each week designed to improve your opening, middle and endgame prowess, particularly in terms of practical awareness. You will do it to a set time and you will be scored accordingly.

How Good Is Your Chess
Where you will be invited to play a game by a master and see if you can find the best moves and really discover how good you chess is. This has been designed by Improve Your Chess Associate Editor, Grandmaster Danny King who has made a speciality of this type of training. This alone will improve your all-round awareness of chess and in particular how to assess positions.

Unlock Your Genius
Where you will also be taught how to think at chess and assess your real strength. Grandmaster Jonathan Levitt, leading chess composer will teach you through a monthly competition how to approach chess...the secrets of how top players think and how they control that process.

Strategy Workout
Where you will be set strategic puzzles every month, again to be done interactively and scored. This will test your ability to assess and plan and will help you not only know where you are going but how to get there.

Members Forum
Where you can chat with other members about key (and not-so-key) chess issues ranging from opening ideas to your view about the top chess players. But mostly it is a place where you can go to get help from your peers and also have some fun.

Coaching
Where you will you will soon have the opportunity of having your chess assessed and being mentored by a leading master.A surefire way combined with the other elements of the gym to turbo charge your rate of improvement.


In everything you do in the gym there are three important principals:

Discipline of practice

Because of the set-up and process of the course, you will be able to use it in a disciplined and consistent way.

Interactivity

You will not be sitting down reading a book...everything you do will be interactive... by far the best way of learning chess.

Time Effectiveness

Most of us are very busy in our lives out of chess so each tactical work-out, for instance, should take you no more than 30 minutes.

So just to recap, here are just some of the benefits you will get from becoming a gym member:

YOU WILL LEARN to see tactical patterns without having to calculate...this is the cornerstone of every good player's armoury.

YOU WILL LEARN to quickly and economically size up a position and know what you have to play to exploit your assets to the full.

YOU WILL LEARN to cut down radically on your blunders as your sight of the board improves.

YOU WILL LEARN to calculate a lot more quickly...a vital asset in competitive chess.

YOU WILL LEARN to finish opponents off a lot quicker thanks to your new-found tactical skills.

YOU WILL LEARN how to take advantage of any mistakes by your opponent in the opening.

YOU WILL LEARN how to recognize opportunities in the middle game.

YOU WILL LEARN how to outplay your opponent in the endings.

YOU WILL LEARN how to plan in chess so that you know what to do by assessing a position.

YOU WILL LEARN the secrets of attacking play.

YOU WILL LEARN how to defend and thwart your opponents desires.

YOU WILL LEARN how to control the centre.

YOU WILL LEARN the art of winning by superior development.

YOU WILL LEARN the right way to think at chess.

YOU WILL LEARN how to recognize the need to change during a game.

YOU WILL LEARN how to manage both winning and losing.

YOU WILL LEARN the true value of material and time.

YOU WILL LEARN how to objectively assess your chances of success

YOU WILL LEARN how to take practical, winning decisions over the chessboard.

YOU WILL LEARN how to keep your nerve when the going gets tough.

You can spend a great deal of time and money learning chess. For instance, our publisher tells me he has spent literally thousands in achieving not very much. Just one book today can cost you over $20. A CD or DVD more than $30

The sad truth is that you can buy loads of books or CDs and still not get to where you want to be. The reason is that academic learning is very difficult to convert into results unless it is backed by consistent and meaningful practice.

This means more than just playing lots of chess.


Why? Because it is quite possible to play non-stop chess and not improve by one iota. You really need to back it up with regular exercises, particularly ones which develop your tactical ability.

Then and only then can you begin to hope for rapid and sustainable growth as a chess player.

The problem about regular training is one of discipline. You'd normally need a coach (providing you can find one that suits you) and probably could spend 100s of dollars without any guarantee of significant improvement. That's without buying books and all the rest of it.

So here's the thing...I believe that if you never bought a book or watched a cd, in fact did nothing but go to the gym.

....you would definitely improve your chess.

And what will this cost you? It will cost you $29.99 for the entire course of 52 workouts... less than $1 for each workout - as opposed to spending a small fortune during your chess career....

Think about it. $29.99 is the cost of 1 DVD and a lot less than the cost of a lifetime of pointless chess purchases.

However, should you want a personal trainer to mentor you, then we will have a top player available to help you at an additional but very good value for money cost . You will first have to complete three lessons so our personal trainer division can assess your needs.


IMPORTANT POINT


Getting the correct coach to improve your chess can be a nightmare. Standards vary greatly, and you can waste a great deal of time and money. The Improve Your Chess Personal Trainer Programme for gym members ensures you get a fully qualified trainer operating to our approved standard. Should you have any problems you can seek redress through the Improve Your Chess Personal Trainer Panel.

So how confident are we that the course will work for you?

We are very confident you will gain in strength through every facet of the game including:

  • Tactics: The ability to finish off your opponent in a few devastating moves.

  • Strategy: The ability to size up a situation and find the best move.

  • Opening Play: The ability to get your opponent into trouble early on in the game..

  • Middle Game: The ability to leave your opponent in such a hopeless, helpless position that he is forced to resign well before the natural end of the game..

  • End Game: Being superior in the last lap by knowing just what to do when there are few pieces left on the board...of all skills this separates the master from the ordinary player.

    Indeed we are so confident, of your success that we offer the following

    Unequivocal Guarantee

  • If you do not feel after completing the course that it has helped you for whatever reason then we will send every cent of your subscription back.



    And it even gets better...

    "I find your chess gym workouts very stimulating. I am able to solve most of them but certainly not within the time constraints offered as a standard. I have much to learn. Boy, it gets the cobwebs out of my mind and forces me to see more opportunities for underpinning the guard so to speak. My initial reaction is wow and thank you."
