IceBreaker, a FIDE-rated expert, is known for his passion for improvement and has already published several successful courses on Chessable.
On the other hand, Benedictine’s course, Advanced Chess Patterns, aims to enhance your tactical skills and help you become a master of finding winning combinations and defending against threats. With isolation chess exercises and complex tactical scenarios, this course is perfect for intermediate to advanced players looking to elevate their game. Benedictine, an experienced Chessable author, has garnered rave reviews from thousands of students for his previous courses.
Both courses offer free lessons presented by GM Maurice Ashley, allowing players to get a taste of the valuable content before diving into the full courses.
