What adult players say about training with IM Yevhenii
★★★★★
“Yevhenii totally changed my way of looking at chess. It helped me step by step to understand better and improve all my chess skills. Even after 60 years.”
Michael Abspoel • 1903 FIDE-rated player
Does this sound like you?
You play well. Then the endgame changes everything.
×
You play well for most of the game, but when the board clears you suddenly feel unsure.
×
You reach a better position and still do not trust yourself to finish it.
×
The clock starts running down and calm decisions turn into rushed guesses.
×
You study, do puzzles and know the ideas, yet they still disappear when you need them in a real game.
You are not missing effort. You need practical endgame training that makes the right ideas easier to see, trust and use under pressure. That is exactly what Endgame Mastery is built to do.
A clearer way to play
One simple focus for the moments that decide games
Endgame Mastery is built around the KAP System, a practical framework that helps you stay calm, recognise what matters and play with purpose when the endgame begins.
Know what to focus on
Stop feeling pulled in five directions and bring your attention back to what matters now.
Trust your decisions
Replace second-guessing with a calm, repeatable way to approach practical positions.
Finish more good games
Turn more of the advantages you already create into the results you worked for.
Rating past 2400International Master
Why I built this
I wanted practical endgames to feel clear, not intimidating
I used to think endgame strength came from memorising more positions and hoping I would recognise them at the board.
What changed my chess was learning how to stay focused in real positions, under a real clock, when there was no obvious answer.
You do not need to become an endgame encyclopaedia. You need to feel calm, purposeful and confident when the game reaches its final phase.
That skill helped carry my rating past 2400, win the German U-25 Championship and earn the International Master title. Endgame Mastery turns the lessons from my own tournament career into a clear training path for adult players.

What adult players say after training with IM Yevhenii
★★★★★
“I was stuck around 900–1000 for a very long time. My rating improved to about 1100, and I finally feel confident playing people rated 100–200 above me.”
RRobert
★★★★★
“I started at 1054 and finished at 1190. My puzzle rating rose from around 1500 to 2296, and the lessons helped me stop hanging pieces and see the board differently.”
CGChristopher Gauch
★★★★★
“My rating is now 1616. It was around 1300 when I started. The course helped me refocus and build a focused, directed and consistent training program.”
BFBrian Fairman
★★★★★
“It brought back the joy of training. I now ask myself the right questions, think in a more structured way, and play with greater awareness.”
JJacopo
★★★★★
“I’m much calmer in my calculations. My thinking is structured better, and my mind isn’t hopping around the board from one idea to the next.”
RRRobert Renk
★★★★★
“After the opening I felt lost about what to do. The course increased my confidence and knowledge in handling the middlegame and endgame.”
ACAmelito Calimlim
★★★★★
“Most importantly, I improved my thinking discipline and ability to think clearly in tense situations. That was my main goal.”
DVDavid Vancina
★★★★★
“Before the course I was always playing something without knowing why. Now I try to make meaningful moves and understand how to plan.”
EPEmil Possmayer
★★★★★
“It helped me reach my goal of more than 1100 Elo and almost erase the word blunder from my vocabulary.”
JBjah billy
★★★★★
“This course has really turned things around. The calculation strategy helped enormously, and I’m making substantially fewer blunders.”
AKAndy King
★★★★★
“My opponent, rated around 1900, resigned to me in the endgame while I was around 900. The advice to make the most active move carried me to a hard-fought win.”

This is for you if
- You keep reaching good positions but do not always get the result.
- You want a clear practical system instead of endless memorisation.
- You are a club player, roughly 500–2200, and want the training to show up in real games.
- You can protect 20–60 focused minutes for training on most days.
This is not for you if
- You want a magic shortcut without active practice.
- You only want advanced theoretical study for titled players.
- You prefer passive watching and do not want to solve positions yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know
Will this help in real games, not just exercises?
That is the entire purpose of the course. The training is built around practical endgames, real decisions and repeated active practice, so the ideas become easier to recognise when nobody tells you there is something to find.
Do I need to memorise lots of endgame theory?
No. You learn the essential foundations, then spend most of your time applying them in practical positions. The goal is clarity and confidence, not becoming an endgame encyclopaedia.
What rating is Endgame Mastery for?
It is designed for club players roughly from 500 to 2200. The course starts with the foundations and then grows into more complex practical positions.
How much time do I need?
A focused session can take about 20 minutes. For the 45-Day Challenge, aim for a focused session on at least 30 separate days. You also have lifetime access, guaranteed for at least five years, so you can move at your own pace.
Are all lessons and exercises available immediately?
Yes. All 50+ lessons and the complete solve-first training are available from day one. Nothing essential is locked behind another purchase.
What is the 14-Day Try-It Guarantee?
Start the course and see how the training works for you. If it is not right for you, email us within 14 days of purchase under the voluntary guarantee. The full policy is stated in the Terms. This does not limit any mandatory consumer rights.
How does the 45-Day Challenge work?
Follow the 45-day training plan, complete the course and practical work, share your progress, and submit your honest reflection. The simple checklist and submission instructions are inside the course. Complete it and earn the price you paid back as credit toward your next Journey to Grandmaster training. See the complete requirements in section 5.4 of the Terms.
Do I get community access?
You can use the Endgame Mastery channel inside our 13,000+ member Journey to Grandmaster community for questions, progress updates and Challenge accountability. This is community support, not weekly personal game analysis.
What is the Endgame Mastery Playbook?
It is a finished practical book containing the most important rules, plans and lessons from the complete course. Use it while studying and return to it when you analyse your own endgames.
Do I need the Calculation Course first?
No. Endgame Mastery teaches everything you need from the beginning. The Calculation Course is a natural companion, but it is not a prerequisite.
