Everything on this site stays free and stays online. The manual is the structured version: the drills laid out as a fortnight's programme, twelve boards annotated move by move, and a practice log designed to be printed rather than read on a screen.

Contents
A fortnight of drills
The three drills from the practice guide laid out as a schedule, with what to record after each session and what improvement should look like by the end.
Twelve annotated boards
Twelve real levels reproduced move by move with the reasoning written beside every decision, including the mistakes and what each one cost.
The review method
How to review a loss so it teaches something, in one page, with the single question that produces a useful answer and the four that do not.
A printable practice log
One A4 sheet for recording predictions against outcomes, which is the part of deliberate practice that people skip and the part that makes it work.
How ordering works
- You send the form below. That is a request, not a payment, and nothing is charged at this point.
- I reply by email within one business day, confirming the item, the price and the bank details.
- You pay by transfer if you still want it. Deciding not to costs nothing and needs no explanation.
- The PDF arrives by email within two business days of the payment clearing.
This page sells writing. No lives, coins, boosters or accounts are sold from this site, and nothing belonging to a studio could be delivered from here even if it were requested.

Who you are buying from
An individual. I publish this site and sell this one file occasionally rather than as a registered business, so there is no NZBN and no GST registration, and no GST invoice is issued; a plain receipt is sent on request. Publisher details are in the legal notice, and ordering, delivery and refund terms are in the terms of use.
