Understanding Middlegame Strategies, Vol. 1 & 2
(Download)

Vol. 1 - Dynamic Pawns

In this chess download we deal with different dynamic decisions involving pawns. The aim is to arm club/tournament players with fresh ideas which they can use in their own practice. I hope my selected material will inspire the viewer to take similar decisions in his/her own games.

I have structured this lecture into 4 chapters:

1. Minor Sacrifices
2. Rolling Pawns
3. Allowing pawn islands
4. Dynamic ideas with g- and h-pawns

Every chapter consists of model games displaying different aspects of the theme. The variety of games should give you enough insights to spot these strategies in your own practice.

• Video running time: 4 hours 50 min (English)
• With interactive training including video feedback
• Further Chapter to practice typical positions
• Extra: Database with more examples

Every chapter consists of model games displaying different aspects of the theme. The variety of games should give you enough insights to spot these strategies in your own practice.
