Attack & Defense Guide for Club Players

An 8-Week Training Program to Build Fearless Attacking & Rock-Solid Defensive Skills

Do you play a solid game… until your opponent launches an attack and everything collapses?

Or maybe you try to attack, but the breakthrough never comes — the timing feels wrong, the pieces don’t coordinate, and the initiative slips away.

If this sounds familiar, you’re exactly who this course was created for.

FM Viktor Neustroev built a structured 8-week, 14-hour masterclass designed to help club players finally understand the logic behind attacking and defensive play. Based on years of private coaching and student-tested methods, this program transforms hesitant, unsure players into confident attackers and resilient defenders.

Each week, you’ll get a focused lesson (about 1.5 hours) plus simple training tasks to reinforce the patterns.
No stress, no information overload — just steady, reliable improvement.

What You'll Learn:

  • Lesson 1 — Preconditions of the Attack

Learn how to recognize real attacking opportunities, evaluate imbalances, and launch attacks only when the position demands it.

  • Lesson 2 — Attacking the King in the Center

Punish delayed castling, exploit exposed kings, and score easy wins using principled attacking ideas.

  • Lesson 3 — Counter-Attacking: Turning Defense into Initiative

Master the art of striking back. Convert your opponent’s aggression into your own winning chances.

  • Lesson 4 — Pawn Storms Against the King

Use pawn avalanches to break open enemy king positions and create unstoppable attacks.

  • Lesson 5 — Central Breakthroughs (Defensive & Offensive Use)

Understand how central pawn breaks instantly change the game, create counterplay, and save worse positions.

  • Lesson 6 — Coordinated Piece Attacks

Unleash deadly piece activity by coordinating rooks, bishops, knights, and the queen for maximum attacking efficiency.

  • Lesson 7 — Attack-Stopping Exchanges

Neutralize enemy attacks with smart trades, positional understanding, and precise defensive technique.

  • Lesson 8 — Most Common Attacking & Defensive Patterns

A practical review of the patterns you’ll meet most often — learn them deeply and watch your rating rise.

What You Will Achieve

By the end of the program, you will:

  • Know exactly when and how to start an attack

  • Defend without fear or confusion

  • Turn losing positions into winning counterattacks

  • Stop falling for cheap tactics

  • Increase your tactical awareness

  • Become a more dangerous, confident club player
