IM Mat Kolosowski has just finished his new 80/20 Tactics course on the Catalan.
It’s packed with more tactical firepower than you could possibly imagine… AND it gives you step-by-step instructions on building ridiculously powerful attacks.
Throw in detailed analysis of the best games of the Catalan Master himself – Kramnik – and you’ve got a brilliant course built around ideas not theory.
We’ve hooked you up with 1 hour of lessons for free.
The g2 gorilla. That Catalan bishop is scarily overpowered… which is why Black usually tries to neutralize it by fianchettoing on the same diagonal. But you always have that extra move! See how you can use that to tie Black up in knots like this (diagram).
Sac, sac, mate. IM Kolosowski shows how the Catalan setup helps White to get pieces around the enemy king fast. I’m talking “opponent resigns on move 15” fast. They’re subtle enough that your rivals are likely to miss them but – after seeing this – you never will.
