"This program helps you to finally stop the blunders"
Patrick Schmidt (from 700 to 900+ ELO after the course)
I was stuck at chess for years… until I discovered a simple system that does not rely on endless memorization.
I used to think openings were the easy part of chess.
From age six I crammed thick books, binged hours of videos, even paid pricey coaches — sure that memorizing enough lines would make me unbeatable.
After 15 years of that, I still froze on move 11. I’d leave the opening and wonder, “Now what?” Every coach’s fix was the same: more lines to study. I burned nights cramming — yet relaxed opponents still beat me.
I was ready to quit.
Then I noticed something: in my best games I wasn’t rattling off dozens of moves — I was using a few simple ideas I truly understood. The rest of my prep gathered dust.
So I scrapped the giant repertoires and drilled only the 20 % of moves that actually appear in real games. I practiced the plans until I could explain them to a five-year-old.
Suddenly everything flipped:
- My rating jumped past 2400
- I became an International Master
- I won the German U-25 Championship
- I played Fabiano Caruana at a World Rapid Team event
All without living inside a theory cave.
Friends begged for the shortcut, so I turned my notes into a 10-day plan. Club players tried it — and their ratings leapt in weeks, not years.
That’s when I realized: you don’t need endless memorization. You need to master the right 20% and a clear plan for what comes next.
Now I teach that shortcut every day — and I’d love to share it with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this for?
10-Day Opening Mastery is designed for players rated 800–2200 Elo. If you’re <800, you’ll progress faster in the Hit 1000 Elo program first. If you’re >2200, this can refresh/streamline your repertoire, but the gain will be smaller versus our advanced coaching.
How much time per day do I need?
Plan for 20–40 minutes/day for the 10 days. That covers the lesson, quick drills, and (ideally) one game to apply the plan.
Does it work for blitz, rapid, and classical?
Yes. The systems are built around plans and typical ideas, not heavy memorization, so they hold up in blitz, rapid, and classical. You’ll know what to aim for and why, even under time pressure.
Can I start anytime? Are there replays?
Start immediately. You get instant access to all modules. Live “Opening Lab” sessions run weekly; full replays are posted in the portal within 24 hours.
Do I keep access forever?
Yes — you get lifetime access to the course videos, downloads (PGNs, prep sheets), and live-session replays, including future updates.
Is this program only going to help with openings?
No — it goes much deeper. You’ll learn the opening plans and the typical middlegame structures those plans lead to, common tactical themes, and which endgames you’re steering for. The goal is to make you a much stronger player overall, not just memorize a few moves.
Are there live lessons? Can you analyze my games?
Yes. Each week we run a live Opening Lab. You can:
- Play training games (or submit recent games) and get my live analysis.
- Get your opening decisions, middlegame plans, and time-management reviewed.
- Ask questions and see fixes applied on the board right away.
Refund terms — what’s the guarantee?
Simple: a 14-day money-back guarantee. Attend at least one live Opening Lab and try the first modules. If it isn’t for you, email support@journeytograndmaster.com within 14 days for a full refund. No forms, no pressure.
Language and subtitles?
The course is in English. Subtitles/captions are provided on all core lessons; we’re adding more language tracks over time.
What if I’m very busy and miss a day?
No problem — it’s self-paced. You can double up on a weekend or spread the 10 days over two weeks. Your access doesn’t expire.
How is this different from random YouTube study?
YouTube is great for ideas, but it’s not a system. Here you get a structured 10-day plan, curated PGNs, targeted drills, weekly coaching, and accountability — so you spend less time searching and more time improving.
