From the course:

Learn to Lock Your Opponent’s Pieces Out and Lock Down the Win

Chess is a lot easier when your opponents’ pieces are buried behind their own pawns and yours have free reign.

Of course the problem is: your opponents won’t lock up their own pieces willingly! But you can.

With the Art of Burying Pieces, Candidate Master Can Kabadayi shows you how to seize any opportunity to lock your opponents’ pieces out of the game for good. The user-favorite chess coach and author of The Art of Exchanging Pieces returns to Chessable with another skillfully made course that will greatly improve your positional play.

This course will teach you two powerful skills:

1. Recognizing when you can bury a piece
2. Carrying out the operation to bury the piece successfully, earning you a winning positional advantage

In every chapter - each dedicated to burying a certain type of piece in a certain situation - you’ll start with a ‘goal position.’ You’ll then reverse-engineer the situation through instructive puzzle exercises that challenge you to find the right moves that got the player there.

You’ll then take a further step back with expertly annotated master games, seeing how pros took a ‘regular’ position and turned it into one where they locked their opponents’ piece out of the game. With the context, goal position, and execution explained to you masterfully by CM Kabadayi, you’ll soon be burying pieces like AlphaZero!

And to really solidify these concepts, you’ll get a dedicated test chapter to make sure you’re applying these skills correctly and a dedicated model game chapter to give you extra examples.

In the words of Siegbert Tarrasch, “one bad piece makes the whole position bad.” Learn to seize the opportunity to shut enemy pieces down and pave the road for yours to win with The Art of Burying Pieces.
