Step 5 is where serious players separate themselves from the pack.
Designed for players pushing toward a 1900 level, this workbook shifts from pure tactics to complete chess understanding. The combinations are still there—but now they’re backed by real strategic depth. You’re no longer just spotting moves… you’re learning why they work.
This is the final stage of structured group training in the Chess Steps method—and it shows. Concepts like pawn structure, open files, strong squares, and seventh-rank play aren’t just introduced—they’re drilled until they become second nature. Endgames get sharper. Defense gets tougher. Decision-making gets smarter.
Inside, you’ll find a powerful mix of 16 core lessons and advanced “Plus” material covering everything from rook endings and king attacks to zugzwang and complex pawn play. With 505 carefully selected positions, this workbook forces you to calculate deeper, evaluate better, and play with purpose.
If you’re aiming to break into advanced territory, this is where it happens.
Less guesswork. More understanding. Real progress.
