Frequently Asked Questions

Is Super Pack right for my level?

If you can understand my YouTube videos and the free masterclass, you should be able to follow Super Pack as well.

You do need to know the basic rules of chess, such as how the pieces move. But you do not need to be an advanced player. Super Pack is designed to help club players and ambitious amateur players build a clearer thinking system and improve step by step.

How much time do I need to study?

You can make progress with just 30-60 minutes per day. The Busy Adult Study Plan bonus shows you exactly how to structure your time. Consistency matters more than long study sessions.

Where should I start? Do I need to study everything?

No. Super Pack is organized in phases. Start with Phase 1: Core Thinking System. Follow the step-by-step path. You don’t need to watch everything at once – the system guides you through what to study next.

How is this different from watching free YouTube videos?

Free videos give you random tips. Super Pack gives you a complete system with a clear order, practical exercises, and a step-by-step improvement path. It’s the difference between collecting puzzle pieces vs following a blueprint.

Will I get instant and lifetime access?

Yes. As soon as you join, you get instant access to all courses, bonuses, and materials. You keep lifetime access to everything, including any future updates to the courses.

What if I am too old or not talented enough?

Age and natural talent are not the deciding factors. Many of my students started after 30, 40, or 50 and still improved 200-400+ rating points. What matters is following a proper system and practicing deliberately.

Can I use the payment plan?

Yes. You can split your payment into 3 monthly payments of $199. You get full access to Super Pack immediately, even on the payment plan.

What if Super Pack is not right for me?

You’re protected by a 15-day money-back guarantee. Try the system, go through the lessons, and if you feel it’s not helping you improve, just email us within 15 days for a full refund.
