One threat after another\u2026 until your opponent ends up trapping himself in a worse position, and you land the final fatal blow.<\/p>\n<p>Where most club players go wrong is they focus too much on the offensive without caring about their opponent\u2019s ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, their whole being-on-the-offensive strategy backfires and they end up losing the game badly\u2026 often in the opening phase only.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0; position: relative; width: 90%;\"><iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" title=\"Pressuring Your Opponent Like a Grandmaster\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1179296116?h=9d2ed54a76&amp;badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>How do they do that?<\/h3>\n<p>Danish GM Jesper Thybo is here to show to you, through his own 20 real game examples, how a grandmaster actually thinks before making a move and how he puts his opponents under a 100-ton strategic hydraulic press!<\/p>\n<p>His course <em data-start=\"254\" data-end=\"299\">Pressuring Your Opponent Like a Grandmaster<\/em> offers over 9 hours of training, plus supplementary PGNs!<\/p>\n<h3>A sneak peek inside the training\u2026<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rook activation<\/strong>. Get this major piece out into the game as fast as you can! Once a rook finds an open file and invades the enemy camp, all hell breaks loose\u2026 for your opponent like it did for Black in this game.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ruthless counterattack<\/strong>. Your opponent might be an attacking maniac himself. No worries\u2026 follow Jesper\u2019s technique of landing a \u201csurprise\u201d blow to throw your opponent off track and gain control of the game.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Delayed gratification<\/strong>. Even if your opponent gains an extra pawn, don\u2019t react. Focus on your fast development and put pressure on your opponent\u2019s weak squares or pieces. Jesper shows you how to do this in Lecture 1 with his game against Keinanen in Rilton Cup 2019-20.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Passed pawn advance<\/strong>. Most passed pawns end up getting captured. Why? Because you don\u2019t keep your opponent busy elsewhere. Jesper demonstrates how to hold off your opponent with constant threats while pushing that passed pawn forward.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drawish endgame conversions<\/strong>. In Lecture 20, Jesper explains an endgame, move by move, how he converted a seemingly drawish position against his opponent, Maximilian Ruff. (Our review: A very interesting position\u2026 every move took away squares from his opponent until he was left helpless in a corner. Definitely a must-watch for every chess student!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Head on over and watch these videos \u2013 I think you\u2019ll LOVE this course\u2014if you want to learn how to squeeze your opponent like a boa constrictor!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30735\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365chess.com\/view\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lecture-4.-Pressure-From-Start-To-Finish-Matlakov-Thybo-low.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"506\" height=\"258\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s included?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pressuring Your Opponent Like a Grandmaster \u2013 video course [9 hours 3 mins] \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Danish GM Jesper Thybo is here to show to you, through his own 20 real game examples, how a grandmaster actually thinks before making a move and how he puts his opponents under a 100-ton strategic hydraulic press!\u00e7<\/li>\n<li><strong>Complete set of PGNs \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Downloadable, complete set of PGNs of everything covered so that you can analyze it at your own pace and convenience.
