Course Overview
Master the Battery in Chess: Learn how and when to win with the Battery
"Winning with the Battery" is a practical, example-rich course focused on one of the most effective piece set-ups in chess: the battery. Whether it's queen and rook or queen and bishop, a well-placed battery can lead to devastating attacks, winning material or delivering checkmate. But to use it well, you need more than just the idea—you need to know how to set it up, when it's strong, and how to make it work for you.
In this course, you'll learn:
How to identify battery opportunities in your own games
Step-by-step methods to build up a strong battery formation
The common patterns and piece alignments that lead to success
How top players have used batteries to destroy even well-defended positions
How to convert your attacking ideas into actual wins
I’m Saro, a FIDE Instructor with a peak rating of 2131 and over a decade of coaching experience. I started chess relatively late, yet climbed the ranks through a systematic and practical approach—the same kind of mindset I teach here.
If you're rated between 1000 and 1800 and want to win more games through smarter attacking play, this course will give you the tools and confidence you need.

So far, this course has been excellent. The Dangerous Files module I just completed was incredibility informative, and Saro did an outstanding job explaining the concepts in great detail. His clear and thorough teaching style made complex topics much easier to understand.

Saro breaks the concepts down so that they're easy to understand. I think of games looking back that I could have set up positions similar to these and it would have changed the outcome. It's such a simple concept that people so often miss, and I'm excited to have it in my arsenal moving forward.
