Imagine rattling off your first 10 opening moves. Smooth and in the zone.

But then the middlegame hits, and now you’re lost.

Every move feels reactive — coasting along but never a part of a real plan.

Back at lower ratings, opponents blunder then you clean up. Now? The freebies are gone. Chess feels more like the lottery.

So you turn to GM streamers, books, and forums for help. Only to find advice that’s either too advanced or barely useful in the positions you actually reach.

Enter Chess Strategy: Simplified.

In this course, you distill planning and winning into one clear mission:

Squeeze every ounce of value from every unit you command.

So in unclear positions like this, where everything feels up in the air…

Chess Strategy: Simplified, diagram 1
White has the bishop pair, both
kings look unsafe… What do
you even do here!?

You’ll know how to place your pieces better than your opponents and gain a strategically won game. One where you have a clear path to victory!

Just like that — you take away the
opponent’s potential attack, while
cementing your control of d4
and the b-file

Meet your coach, Robert “RobRam” Ramirez.

He’s a National Master who didn’t start serious training until age 12. The first chess academy he joined dismissed him as “too old to improve.”

But he proved them wrong!

After only 3 years of training, Ramirez climbed to 2243 USCF and earned the NM title.

And today…

He’s Passing Onto You the Practical Strategic
Know-How That Fueled His Chess Growth

The best part?

You won’t need years to digest everything. Ramirez distilled his hard-won chess knowledge into a course you can complete in as little as 7 days… just 7.5 hours of video and 89 MoveTrainer drills.

He did it — not by drowning you in super-GM subtleties barely relevant to your games — but by focusing on simple edge maximizers.

These repeatable actions help you improve every unit you control, until the winning path is clear.

Starting with the pawns, you’re shown:

🧠 How to spot a pawn majority and turn it into a dangerous passed pawn.

🧠 The 3 types of passed pawns and the many ways to win with them beyond just promotion.

🧠 Where weak pawns can turn into strengths. Isolated pawns, doubled pawns — place them here and they become an advantage.

🧠 X-ray attacks that give your pawn pushes extra power.

And many more.

From chapters 2 to 3, the minor pieces take center stage. You’ll learn:

🧠 How to anchor your knight on an outpost where it can’t be chased away — then use it as the backbone of a mating attack.

You’ll learn how to exchange the right
pieces to ensure your knight sits
undisturbed in the center

 

Chess Strategy: Simplified, diagram 4
Only 6 moves later, your superior
steed leads a crushing attack!

🧠 The 4 ways to make your bishops shine. #4 pairs your sniper with the perfect piece for maximum pressure.

🧠 Why the bishop pair is so powerful, it’s sometimes worth an extra pawn.

🧠 And how to amplify attacking chances with “drawish” opposite-colored bishops.

Next, the spotlight shifts to the heavy hitters — the rooks, queens, and finally the king itself. Chapters 4 to 6 teach you:

🧠 The 3 vital ranks your rooks must control. They’re the reason why open files are worth fighting for.

🧠 The key question to ask before trading queens — plus the 3 “if-then” rules that tell you when it’s the right move.

🧠 When 9 is greater than 10. The 2 situations where a lone queen trumps two rooks.

Chess Strategy: Simplified, diagram 5
White is up a point of material, but
Black wins because of the reasons
explained in chapter 5.

🧠 And how a single king move can decide an even-material ending.

Of course, real chess games are rarely won by a single “hero” piece.

That’s why in chapter 7, you’ll bring all of Ramirez’ edge maximizers together through 32 mixed exercises. You’ll practice them in harmony.
