PROCESS: The Art of Chess Calculation
The “process” aspect is the art of chess calculation.

Yes, even if you didn’t know your forks from your pins, the “Process” part of the course as in the art of calculation would still enable you to play great chess combinations using an entire orchestra of tactical patterns without even knowing their names.

“Process” is like the software of your chess mind. “Patterns” are like the Content for that software. You need both the software and the content to be really effective as a tactician!.
==================
PROCESS -><-PATTERNS YOUR STRENGTHS OF POSITION (PLUSSES +'s) ====> MATCH WITH <=== (MINUSES -'s) DOWNSIDES OF OPPONENTS POSITION (FOR MAXIMUM DIFFERENTIAL between the PLUS AND MINUS) BOTTOM UP APPROACHES >—-< TOP DOWN APPROACHES ================== Patterns help feed the process of calculation. Your goal often is to create a maximum differential between the strengths of your position which can be realised from very strong calculation skills and the downsides of the opponent's position which often requires a trained intuition and eye for potential downsides to ensure you are even aware combinational solutions might exist. ================== PATTERNS: Tactical Patterns, Mating Patterns, Weakness of Position patterns. The "patterns" aspect is divided into three key "pattern" areas: Bold ones below represent really key and frequent visitors to most people's games Tactical Patterns (alphabetically) These tactical patterns are very useful to practice and help internalise. Absolute Pin Advanced Pawn Annihilation of Defence Alekhine’s Gun Attraction Battery Blockading defensive resources Capture Capture the Defender Checks - gaining key tempo e.g. winning material via checks Clearance Combine and Win tactics Connected passed pawns Counterplay management move Counter Threat Cross-check Cross-pin Decoy Deflection Demolition of Pawns around opponent's king Demolition of Pawn Structure Desperado Discovered Attack Domination Double Attack Double Check Draw Tactics Endgame Tactics Exchange sacrifice f2 (or f7) weakness Forcing Moves Fork Goal Hanging Tactics e.g. N on f5 (also see Thorn pawn) Greek Gift Sacrifice Indirect Defense Interference Intermediate move (synonym: Zuichenzug) King Aggression in Endgames King Chase Liberational tactics Opposition Overload the defender Weakness of last move Passed pawn creation Pawn-Fork Pawn Tactics Pawn Breakthrough Perpetual Attack Perpetual Check Pins - Absolute Pins - Relative Pins - Celebration Positional Tactic Prophylaxis move Removing King Escape Squares Rook lift Sacrifice (Positional) Sacrifice (calculated) Simplification Queen and Bishop Battery Quiet but killer move (greatly used in Alekhine combinations) Relative Pin Remove the Defender Sacrifice Simplification Situational Pin Soft spot sacrifice Strategic Crush tactic - e.g. locking in bishop, good knight Skewer Stalemate Tactics Tempo Tactics Thorn Pawns Threat making Trapped Piece Triangulation Two Rooks Battery Two Rooks on 7th Rank Under-promotion Weak Back-Rank Weakness of last move Windmill X-Ray X-Ray Attack X-Ray Defense Zugzwang Zwischenzug Mating Patterns (alphabetically) These mating patterns are useful to practice and help internalise. Anastasia's mate Anderssen's mate Arabian mate Back-rank mate Bishop and knight mate Blackburne's mate Blind swine mate Boden's mate Box mate (Rook mate) Combine and Win Mate Corner mate Cozio's mate Damiano's bishop mate Damiano's mate David and Goliath mate Double bishop mate Dovetail mate Epaulette mate Fool’s mate Greco's mate Hook mate Kill Box mate King and two bishops mate King and two knights mate Ladder checkmate Légal mate Lolli's mate Max Lange's mate Mayet's mate Morphy's mate Opera mate Pillsbury's mate Queen mate Réti's mate Smothered mate Support mate Suffocation mate Swallow's tail mate "Opponent Downsides" aka "Tactical Issues" aka "Tactical Liabilities" aka "Weakness of Position" Patterns These help you intuitively identify if a combination may exist in the position. Awkward Pieces (trappable) King Safety Issues e.g. Back rank Loose pieces (unprotected) Overworked pieces Pieces away from King Tactical Liabilities in general Weaknesses in general Who this course is for: Chess beginner and intermediate players will get massive results improvement from this course Even more experienced players who want to sharpen their tactics. Every chess player can improve their tactical skills.
