But according to GM Loek van Wely, a player who has played in 14 Olympiads, is eight-time Dutch champion, and has decades of experience against Karpov, Kasparov, Anand, and Carlsen, most of what separates strong players from the rest has nothing to do with memorised lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree sample video: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.chessbase.com\/en\/products\/books.chessbase.com\/perma\/c\/6ae8897870289fc236e2c2e7\"\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree sample video: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.chessbase.com\/en\/products\/books.chessbase.com\/perma\/c\/6ae8897870289fc236e2c300\"\u003eDon't Bluff the Donkey\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"DivDescription\" class=\"col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this course, Van Wely breaks down ten practical principles he's used throughout his career, and that he still sees even grandmasters get wrong. Among them: managing your clock around the real turning points of a game rather than reacting too late, knowing when to simplify instead of complicate, staying objective about your own mistakes as well as your opponent's, and recognising the one moment to take risks before it's too late to matter. He also addresses the psychological side of the game: not being intimidated by a strong opponent's body language or time pressure, and trusting your own calculations even against higher-rated players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn't a course on lines or theory.
