Break Free From “Pattern Bias” in the Endgame
— Win Where Others Settle

Most people play what looks right, and miss what wins. But not you, because you’re beating pattern bias with WGM Tatev Abrahamyan. Through 5 focused themes and 4 levels, you’ll calculate beyond the obvious. You’ll uncover creative winning moves others write off as “bad!”

Imagine reaching this endgame:

You’ve got a rook. Black has a lone pawn. But it’s only two squares from queening, and your king’s too far to catch it.

Up a rook versus a lone pawn —
one that’s about to turn into
something nasty!

You can bet 90% of players will start throwing checks here. It’s the “only” way to stop the pawn.

A few moves later, they realize the king won’t budge. The checks and positions repeat threefold… and they settle for a draw they never wanted.

Giving check stops the pawn from
promoting but squanders the win!

But you? You ignore the pawn, “Go ahead — promote it!”

Then you play the ugliest move on the board. You march up your king from downtown. You chase an opponent everyone else would give up on…

Because you know that the threat of checkmate beats the threat of promotion!

How do you beat the threat of a
new queen? With the bigger
threat of checkmate!

You can develop this flexible, point-winning mindset in Chess Studies: Solve to Evolve.

Chess Studies: Solve to Evolve features 525 studies. All collected by Tatev from revered composers, legendary grandmasters, and even a World Champion.

That’s 525 ways to evolve your chess thinking… from rigid pattern recognition to true mental flexibility.

The studies are split into 4 levels of challenges, from 1600 to 2200+ Elo. They’re designed to meet you where you are, then push you just past your comfort zone where real improvement begins.

Then, each level dives into 7 themes, which decide games and rating gains in the endgame.

🎯 Sharpen your move-by-move calculation in pawn endings. Win races, seize the opposition, and flip the eval bar with a single tempo.

🎯 Turn threats into time in rook endings. Cut off their king and tie down their rook. So you can freely reroute your pieces for decisive action.

With one tempo move after another,
Black’s rook never got the chance
to mount a defense!

🎯 Toughen up your mental game by saving desperate-looking positions with beautiful stalemates.

🎯 Seal the deal with checkmate… even when their king hides in a fortress, while their defenders outnumber you 3-to-1.

Through strict square control and
zugzwang, the lone white knight
beats the entire Black army

🎯 Back the opposing side into zugzwang, where their every legal move hands you the win.

🎯 Can’t force zugzwang yet? Then you dominate their pieces. You strip away their mobility and turn them into board decor.

🎯 And finally, the mixed studies bring everything together — locking in your progress into skill.

Pattern play has taken you far. And now it’s time to go farther!

Train your brain to think freely. Calculate without assumptions. And uncover winning moves most players won’t even consider!
