by CM Can Kabadayi is a specialized instructional course designed to bridge the gap for novice to intermediate players (typically 1000–1700 Elo). Combining his background as a Candidate Master with his PhD in cognitive science, Kabadayi focuses on identifying and "punishing" the logical and strategic errors—rather than just tactical blunders—that often plague players at this level. Overview of the Course
: Moving away from a passive mindset to treat the board state objectively.
: Strategic missteps such as burying pieces behind pawn chains, reacting to imaginary threats, or mismanaging development and time (e.g., unnecessary flank pawn pushes like a3 or h3).
