Also, you probably know the concept of a “good” and “bad” bishop. But in some positions this concept is crucial, in others totally irrelevant. Can you discern them? Also, we will explore qualities of bishops that you have probably never heard of. We will focus on the diagonals the bishops are operating on, on maneuvers of bishops from one flank to another, and of course on the opposite-coloured bishops.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo running time: 4 h 44 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra: Training with ChessBase apps – Play-positions against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThis is what is delivered:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFritztrainer App for Windows and Mac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable as download\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo course with a running time of approx. 4-8 hrs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepertoire database: save and integrate Fritztrainer games into your own repertoire (in WebApp Opening or in ChessBase)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteractive exercises with video feedback: the authors present exercises and key positions, the user has to enter the solution.

With White (the side with more space) there is always a danger to overextend oneself (or miss your opponent’s pawn break). While playing Black (the side with less space) there is always a danger to mistime your pawn break, or simply to not get counterplay and be overrun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complexity of those positions is best illustrated in a Kasparov-Kramnik game – with both players allowing seemingly “obvious” mistakes. Charbonneau-Anand is another good example – a player of Anand’s stature landing in a terrible position, then missing his good attacking prospects. The game result was one of the biggest upsets of 2006 Chess Olympiad. There are different types of Hedgehog positions - many of them coming from the English opening where the White bishop is fianchettoed. In this video course I consider the “basic Hedgehog” pawn structure; like the one coming from the Kan Sicilian for example. Choosing the right plan at the right time is the key here - the ensuing positions are full of dynamic possibilities. I endeavour to show the most common (and a few less common!) plans for both sides and try to pinpoint typical mistakes and motifs. The basic aim of this video is to improve understanding of these complex positions and to help tournament players score better!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 4 hours (English)\u003cbr\u003e• Extra: Training with ChessBase apps - Play key pawn structures against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUnderstanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.4 - Dynamic pawn structures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudying this video course should greatly improve the viewer’s handling of dynamic pawn positions! As with all my other video courses material here is predominantly aimed at improving players and tournament players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsolated pawn structures can obviously come from many different openings. In this video course I have picked up isolated pawn structures coming from the classical Tarrasch defence D34; for which a considerable part was inspired by the games of Garry Kasparov. I believe studying the classical Tarrasch isolated pawn structures (and related pawn structures) to be an excellent way to improve understanding of those types of positions. Choosing my games selection, I wanted to show typical plans for both sides based on high level instructive games. Hanging pawns in the centre can come from different (though usually 1.d4 systems) openings. “Hanging pawns in the centre” structures are difficult to master because a good feeling for the “transformation timing” is needed! Sometimes those “transformations” are pawn-break related, unleashing dynamic power; while sometimes they are related to taking space and not being bothered about surrendering central squares. I have tried to show typical plans aiming to improve the viewer’s knowledge, and also practical play level. Sicilian Rauzer double f-pawn structures are fashionable nowadays and are seen at all levels. Dynamic timing is everything! Most of the time, temporary pawn sacrifices are an essential part of this “dynamic timing”. While it is difficult to give exact set of rules here, typical ideas do repeat themselves and I have tried to show these in this video course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 5 hours 30 minutes (English)\u003cbr\u003e• Extra: Training with ChessBase apps - Play key pawn structures against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUnderstanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.5 - Sicilian Rossolimo and Maroczy Structures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstanding an opening doesn’t stop after the theory. It’s essential to understand ideas and structures connected to the opening moves. Furthermore, recognising mistakes by your opponent to gain an advantage is a key component of the middlegame. In this video course we’ll concentrate on Rossolimo and Maroczy structures in the Sicilian Defence. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rossolimo gained popularity recently as it avoids Open Sicilian theory such as the Sveshnikov or Kalashnikov. In essence, we reach an English opening with colours reversed (1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 (or 2…Bb4) 3.g3 Bb4) being a tempo up. As with most colour reversed systems, now we have (as White) a comfortable position (the extra tempo counts after all!), but our aim also changes (as we are no longer happy with a ‘comfortable position’ but are aiming for an advantage). None other than Magnus Carlsen is playing this opening to a great extent, which is a key component of the selection on this video course. We mostly analyse plans after 3…g6 (followed by Bxc6 with both …bxc6 or …dxc6 recaptures) or 3… e6 4.Bxc6 bxc6. At first glance White has an ‘obvious advantage‘ in the Marcozy Bind: White has more space with Black not having clear counterplay. Danish chess legend Bent Larsen liked to play against the Maroczy Bind with Black and came up with many ideas that are still viable today. In this video course, my material is based on the Classical main-line Maroczy bind, I have pointed out the main ideas\/positions both sides are aiming for and show surprising strategic mistakes (committed even in top-level games!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 7 hours 20 Minutes (English)\u003cbr\u003e• With interactive training including video feedback\u003cbr\u003e• Extra: Model games database \u0026amp; Training with ChessBase apps - Play key positions against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUnderstanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.6 - Ruy Lopez Structures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstanding an opening doesn’t stop after the theory.

On this video course I opted for ‘Karpov Ruy Lopez understanding type lines’, the massive majority of the material coming from Chigorin, Breyer and Zaitsev variations. I have tried to give viewers a ‘crash course’ on typical middlegame plans, typical material imbalance ideas (and dynamics), types of positions White or Black should be happy about (or try to avoid!), while combining it (when I saw fit) with useful opening advice (advice based on my forty years’ experience playing and researching those positions). The course aims to improve the understanding of these types of positions to help the viewer to play better and to get better results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 6 hours 25 minutes (English)\u003cbr\u003e• With interactive training including video feedback\u003cbr\u003e• Extra: Model games database \u0026amp; Training with ChessBase apps - Play key positions against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUnderstanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.7 - Dynamic Catalan\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany young top-players are opting for the trendy “Dynamic Catalan” where, against the triangle or semi-slav structures, White can sacrifice a pawn to gain immediate initiative. This sacrifice can lead to long term positional advantage, but often White can unleash dangerous threats upon the black king with a central pawn break.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany games will become attacking adventures for White, with various opportunities to sacrifice material and create stunning threats. The “Dynamic Catalan” can be your choice of opening - if you are willing to take the game into your own hands from the very beginning; and with this video course, you will add a sharp weapon to your repertoire. The author GM Ivan Sokolov has been on the white side of the “Dynamic Catalan” in many top-level games, against players such as Caruana and Vallejo Pons, and “felt comfortable playing it: space, initiative, safe king.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo running time: 4 hours 48 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith interactive training including video feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra: Training with ChessBase apps - Play “Dynamic Catalan” positions against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUnderstanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.8 - French Winawer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe French is a complex opening and can lead to a wide variety of middlegames. The Winawer after 3...Bb4 is Black’s most proactive option, immediately weakening White’s pawn structure by doubling their c-pawns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Black gets to play against the weak square d4, White often gets attacking chances on the kingside and a space advantage. Structurally, this line can lead to closed positions after ...c4, or open and dynamic play by white’s structural exchange dxc5. “My game selection is aimed at explaining the most important plans of these strategically complex positions.” (Author GM Ivan Sokolov)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo running time: 3 hours 55 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith interactive training including video feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra: Training with ChessBase apps - Play “French: Winawer” positions against Fritz on various levels\u003ch4\u003eUnderstanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.9 - French Tarrasch\u003c\/h4\u003eIn the Tarrasch variation, White seems to be doing great, but initial evaluations can be deceptive and Black certainly has trumps, creating complicated and fascinating positions.“The French´s household-name proponent is the legendary Victor Kortschnoj - arguably the best player to have never become world champion - so naturally, I have included a number of his games.” He played these positions in two of his World Championship matches in 1978 \u0026amp; 1981 against Anatoly Karpov - who many consider to be the most precise player against isolated pawns - not losing a single game.

With White (the side with more space) there is always a danger to overextend oneself (or miss your opponent’s pawn break). While playing Black (the side with less space) there is always a danger to mistime your pawn break, or simply to not get counterplay and be overrun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVol 4\u003cbr\u003eStudying this video course should greatly improve the viewer’s handling of dynamic pawn positions!

Charbonneau-Anand is another good example – a player of Anand’s stature landing in a terrible position, then missing his good attacking prospects. The game result was one of the biggest upsets of 2006 Chess Olympiad. There are different types of Hedgehog positions - many of them coming from the English opening where the White bishop is fianchettoed. In this video course I consider the “basic Hedgehog” pawn structure; like the one coming from the Kan Sicilian for example. Choosing the right plan at the right time is the key here - the ensuing positions are full of dynamic possibilities. I endeavour to show the most common (and a few less common!) plans for both sides and try to pinpoint typical mistakes and motifs. The basic aim of this video is to improve understanding of these complex positions and to help tournament players score better!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 4 hours (English)\u003cbr\u003e• Extra: Training with ChessBase apps - Play key pawn structures against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVol 4\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsolated pawn structures can obviously come from many different openings. In this video course I have picked up isolated pawn structures coming from the classical Tarrasch defence D34; for which a considerable part was inspired by the games of Garry Kasparov. I believe studying the classical Tarrasch isolated pawn structures (and related pawn structures) to be an excellent way to improve understanding of those types of positions. Choosing my games selection, I wanted to show typical plans for both sides based on high level instructive games. Hanging pawns in the centre can come from different (though usually 1.d4 systems) openings. “Hanging pawns in the centre” structures are difficult to master because a good feeling for the “transformation timing” is needed! Sometimes those “transformations” are pawn-break related, unleashing dynamic power; while sometimes they are related to taking space and not being bothered about surrendering central squares. I have tried to show typical plans aiming to improve the viewer’s knowledge, and also practical play level. Sicilian Rauzer double f-pawn structures are fashionable nowadays and are seen at all levels. Dynamic timing is everything!

Charbonneau-Anand is another good example – a player of Anand’s stature landing in a terrible position, then missing his good attacking prospects. The game result was one of the biggest upsets of 2006 Chess Olympiad. There are different types of Hedgehog positions - many of them coming from the English opening where the White bishop is fianchettoed. In this video course I consider the “basic Hedgehog” pawn structure; like the one coming from the Kan Sicilian for example. Choosing the right plan at the right time is the key here - the ensuing positions are full of dynamic possibilities. I endeavour to show the most common (and a few less common!) plans for both sides and try to pinpoint typical mistakes and motifs. The basic aim of this video is to improve understanding of these complex positions and to help tournament players score better!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 4 hours (English)\u003cbr\u003e• Extra: Training with ChessBase apps - Play key pawn structures against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnderstanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.4 - Dynamic pawn structures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsolated pawn structures can obviously come from many different openings. In this video course I have picked up isolated pawn structures coming from the classical Tarrasch defence D34; for which a considerable part was inspired by the games of Garry Kasparov. I believe studying the classical Tarrasch isolated pawn structures (and related pawn structures) to be an excellent way to improve understanding of those types of positions. Choosing my games selection, I wanted to show typical plans for both sides based on high level instructive games. Hanging pawns in the centre can come from different (though usually 1.d4 systems) openings. “Hanging pawns in the centre” structures are difficult to master because a good feeling for the “transformation timing” is needed! Sometimes those “transformations” are pawn-break related, unleashing dynamic power; while sometimes they are related to taking space and not being bothered about surrendering central squares. I have tried to show typical plans aiming to improve the viewer’s knowledge, and also practical play level. Sicilian Rauzer double f-pawn structures are fashionable nowadays and are seen at all levels. Dynamic timing is everything! Most of the time, temporary pawn sacrifices are an essential part of this “dynamic timing”. While it is difficult to give exact set of rules here, typical ideas do repeat themselves and I have tried to show these in this video course.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 5 hours 30 minutes (English)\u003cbr\u003e• Extra: Training with ChessBase apps - Play key pawn structures against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnderstanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.5 - Sicilian Rossolimo and Maroczy Structures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rossolimo gained popularity recently as it avoids Open Sicilian theory such as the Sveshnikov or Kalashnikov. In essence, we reach an English opening with colours reversed (1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 (or 2…Bb4) 3.g3 Bb4) being a tempo up. As with most colour reversed systems, now we have (as White) a comfortable position (the extra tempo counts after all!), but our aim also changes (as we are no longer happy with a ‘comfortable position’ but are aiming for an advantage). None other than Magnus Carlsen is playing this opening to a great extent, which is a key component of the selection on this video course. We mostly analyse plans after 3…g6 (followed by Bxc6 with both …bxc6 or …dxc6 recaptures) or 3… e6 4.Bxc6 bxc6. At first glance White has an ‘obvious advantage‘ in the Marcozy Bind: White has more space with Black not having clear counterplay. Danish chess legend Bent Larsen liked to play against the Maroczy Bind with Black and came up with many ideas that are still viable today. In this video course, my material is based on the Classical main-line Maroczy bind, I have pointed out the main ideas\/positions both sides are aiming for and show surprising strategic mistakes (committed even in top-level games!).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 7 hours 20 Minutes (English)\u003cbr\u003e• With interactive training including video feedback\u003cbr\u003e• Extra: Model games database \u0026amp; Training with ChessBase apps - Play key positions against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnderstanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.6 - Ruy Lopez StructuresVol 6\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnatoly Karpov once said: ‘Understanding the Ruy Lopez is crucial to middlegame improvement in chess’. On this video course I opted for ‘Karpov Ruy Lopez understanding type lines’, the massive majority of the material coming from Chigorin, Breyer and Zaitsev variations. I have tried to give viewers a ‘crash course’ on typical middlegame plans, typical material imbalance ideas (and dynamics), types of positions White or Black should be happy about (or try to avoid!), while combining it (when I saw fit) with useful opening advice (advice based on my forty years’ experience playing and researching those positions). The course aims to improve the understanding of these types of positions to help the viewer to play better and to get better results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 6 hours 25 minutes (English)\u003cbr\u003e• With interactive training including video feedback\u003cbr\u003e• Extra: Model games database \u0026amp; Training with ChessBase apps - Play key positions against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSample video\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640px\" height=\"490px\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/IOxZRMjgH40\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\" rel=\"max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640px\" height=\"490px\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/3XBQrZPpM1o\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640px\" height=\"490px\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/Fj59tJN26V0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640px\" height=\"490px\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/HGnxaLrl9eo\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640px\" height=\"490px\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/moZ6HLHgUlM\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640px\" height=\"490px\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/Ksioh5u8HVk\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVol 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat to trade what to keep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 1: Botvinnik-Donner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 2: Kasparov-Karpov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 3: Volokitin-Mamedyarov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 4: Ganguly-Nguyen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 5: Kasparov-Timman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 6: Carlsen-So\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 7: Carlsen-Dreev\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing on f8 defends itself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 1: Fischer-Hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 2: Caruana-Naroditsky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 3: Van Foreest-Van der Lende\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 4: Kasparov-Timman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 1: Kasimdzhanov-Li Chao\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 2: Korchnoi-Bronstein\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 3: Karjakin-Gelfand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreating crises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 1: Galkin-Kramnik\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 2: Korchnoi-Timman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 3: Swinkels-Sokolov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 4: Gurevich-Sokolov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVol 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat to trade what to keep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 1: Botvinnik-Donner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 2: Kasparov-Karpov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 3: Volokitin-Mamedyarov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 4: Ganguly-Nguyen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 5: Kasparov-Timman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 6: Carlsen-So\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 7: Carlsen-Dreev\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing on f8 defends itself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 1: Fischer-Hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 2: Caruana-Naroditsky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 3: Van Foreest-Van der Lende\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 4: Kasparov-Timman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 1: Kasimdzhanov-Li Chao\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 2: Korchnoi-Bronstein\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 3: Karjakin-Gelfand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreating crises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 1: Galkin-Kramnik\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 2: Korchnoi-Timman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 3: Swinkels-Sokolov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame 4: Gurevich-Sokolov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVol 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHedgehog - Part 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction and Fischer vs Andersson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack pushes the g-pawn: Charbonneau vs Anand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegrouping: Kasparov vs Kramnik\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eh-pawn push: Topalov vs Kasimdzhanov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite fights the h-pawn push: Radjabov vs Kamsky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAggressive ideas for White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite castles kingside and pushes the g-pawn: J.

It's crucial to grasp the ideas and structures connected to the opening moves. Knowing how to apply these concepts, and recognising mistakes from your opponent can give you a critical edge in the middlegame—a key component to transforming an opening advantage into a winning position. We cover a variety of responses for White, including 4.Nf3, 4.c4, 4.h4, 4.Nd2, 4.Be3, and 4.Nc3. Instead of focusing on a rigid repertoire, the course presents key games, important strategic ideas, and opening knowledge to equip you with the essential tools to outmanoeuvre your opponents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Highlights:\u003cbr\u003e• Aggressive and Tactical Lines: Learn how White can create dynamic, aggressive opportunities to put early pressure on Black.

One tempo can be enough, so understanding how to exploit them can be the difference between winning and losing.\u003cbr\u003e• Dynamic Play \u0026amp; Attack: Designed for players who thrive in attacking positions.

With White (the side with more space) there is always a danger to overextend oneself (or miss your opponent’s pawn break). While playing Black (the side with less space) there is always a danger to mistime your pawn break, or simply to not get counterplay and be overrun.\u003cspan class=\"redactor-invisible-space\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe complexity of those positions is best illustrated in a Kasparov-Kramnik game – with both players allowing seemingly “obvious” mistakes. Charbonneau-Anand is another good example – a player of Anand’s stature landing in a terrible position, then missing his good attacking prospects. The game result was one of the biggest upsets of 2006 Chess Olympiad. There are different types of Hedgehog positions - many of them coming from the English opening where the White bishop is fianchettoed. In this video course I consider the “basic Hedgehog” pawn structure; like the one coming from the Kan Sicilian for example. Choosing the right plan at the right time is the key here - the ensuing positions are full of dynamic possibilities.

With White (the side with more space) there is always a danger to overextend oneself (or miss your opponent’s pawn break). While playing Black (the side with less space) there is always a danger to mistime your pawn break, or simply to not get counterplay and be overrun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVol 4\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudying this video course should greatly improve the viewer’s handling of dynamic pawn positions!

Charbonneau-Anand is another good example – a player of Anand’s stature landing in a terrible position, then missing his good attacking prospects. The game result was one of the biggest upsets of 2006 Chess Olympiad. There are different types of Hedgehog positions - many of them coming from the English opening where the White bishop is fianchettoed. In this video course I consider the “basic Hedgehog” pawn structure; like the one coming from the Kan Sicilian for example. Choosing the right plan at the right time is the key here - the ensuing positions are full of dynamic possibilities. I endeavour to show the most common (and a few less common!) plans for both sides and try to pinpoint typical mistakes and motifs.

In this video course I have picked up isolated pawn structures coming from the classical Tarrasch defence D34; for which a considerable part was inspired by the games of Garry Kasparov. I believe studying the classical Tarrasch isolated pawn structures (and related pawn structures) to be an excellent way to improve understanding of those types of positions. Choosing my games selection, I wanted to show typical plans for both sides based on high level instructive games. Hanging pawns in the centre can come from different (though usually 1.d4 systems) openings. “Hanging pawns in the centre” structures are difficult to master because a good feeling for the “transformation timing” is needed! Sometimes those “transformations” are pawn-break related, unleashing dynamic power; while sometimes they are related to taking space and not being bothered about surrendering central squares. I have tried to show typical plans aiming to improve the viewer’s knowledge, and also practical play level. Sicilian Rauzer double f-pawn structures are fashionable nowadays and are seen at all levels. Dynamic timing is everything! Most of the time, temporary pawn sacrifices are an essential part of this “dynamic timing”. While it is difficult to give exact set of rules here, typical ideas do repeat themselves and I have tried to show these in this video course.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 5 hours 30 minutes (English)\u003cbr\u003e• Extra: Training with ChessBase apps - Play key pawn structures against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSample video\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"640px\" height=\"490px\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/Fj59tJN26V0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640px\" height=\"490px\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/HGnxaLrl9eo\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHedgehog - Part 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction and Fischer vs Andersson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack pushes the g-pawn: Charbonneau vs Anand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegrouping: Kasparov vs Kramnik\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eh-pawn push: Topalov vs Kasimdzhanov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite fights the h-pawn push: Radjabov vs Kamsky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAggressive ideas for White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite castles kingside and pushes the g-pawn: J.

While it is difficult to give exact set of rules here, typical ideas do repeat themselves and I have tried to show these in this video course.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"redactor-invisible-space\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 5 hours 30 minutes (English)\u003cbr\u003e• Extra: Training with ChessBase apps - Play key pawn structures against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSample video\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640px\" height=\"490px\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/HGnxaLrl9eo\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging Pawns in the center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging pawns in the center: Capablanca vs Alekhine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging pawns in the center: Bok vs Grischuk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging pawns in the center: Petrosian vs Spassky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging pawns in the center: Sokolov vs Riazantsev\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging pawns in the center: Carlsen vs Hou Yifan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging pawns in the center: Carlsen vs Aronian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging pawns in the center: Kasparov vs Portisch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging pawns in the center: Korchnoi vs Geller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsolated Pawns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive Play: Beliavsky vs Illescas Cordoba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformation: Petrosian vs Spassky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformation: Kasparov vs Illescas Cordoba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformation: Zueger vs Kasparov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformation: Smyslov vs Kasparov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformation: Larsen vs Kasparov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformation: Van Wely vs Grischuk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRauzer structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePawn sacrifice: Klovans vs Tal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePawn Sacrifice: Ragger vs Salgado Lopez\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePawn sacrifice: Gan-Erdene vs Maghsoodloo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePawn sacrifice: Geller vs Larsen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractice positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging pawns 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging Pawns 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging pawns 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging pawns 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging pawns 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging pawns 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging pawns 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsolated pawn 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsolated pawn 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsolated pawn 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eisolated pawn 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsolated pawn 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsolated pawn 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRauzer 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRauzer 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRauzer 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRauzer 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRauzer 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"table-condensed ecwid-description-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"flag en\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem: \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWindows 7 or higher, Mac OS X (only download)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublished: \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMar 2022\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDelivery: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDownload\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLevel: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdvanced ,  Tournament player ,  Professional\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"ChessBase India Shop Digital","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42228821590039,"sku":"523","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/7334\/1975\/files\/2995000022_264117f5-4b7f-4027-a8ca-bd731db00788.jpg?v=1744901237"},{"product_id":"understanding-middlegame-strategies-vol-5-vol-6-by-ivan-sokolov","title":"Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.5 \u0026 Vol.6 by Ivan Sokolov","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnderstanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.5 \u0026amp; Vol.6 by Ivan Sokolov\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eUnderstanding an opening doesn’t stop after the theory. It’s essential to understand ideas and structures connected to the opening moves. Furthermore, recognising mistakes by your opponent to gain an advantage is a key component of the middlegame. In this video course we’ll concentrate on Rossolimo and Maroczy structures in the Sicilian Defence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rossolimo gained popularity recently as it avoids Open Sicilian theory such as the Sveshnikov or Kalashnikov. In essence, we reach an English opening with colours reversed (1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 (or 2…Bb4) 3.g3 Bb4) being a tempo up. As with most colour reversed systems, now we have (as White) a comfortable position (the extra tempo counts after all!), but our aim also changes (as we are no longer happy with a ‘comfortable position’ but are aiming for an advantage). None other than Magnus Carlsen is playing this opening to a great extent, which is a key component of the selection on this video course. We mostly analyse plans after 3…g6 (followed by Bxc6 with both …bxc6 or …dxc6 recaptures) or 3… e6 4.Bxc6 bxc6. At first glance White has an ‘obvious advantage‘ in the Marcozy Bind: White has more space with Black not having clear counterplay. Danish chess legend Bent Larsen liked to play against the Maroczy Bind with Black and came up with many ideas that are still viable today. In this video course, my material is based on the Classical main-line Maroczy bind, I have pointed out the main ideas\/positions both sides are aiming for and show surprising strategic mistakes (committed even in top-level games!).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 7 hours 20 Minutes (English)\u003cbr\u003e• With interactive training including video feedback\u003cbr\u003e• Extra: Model games database \u0026amp; Training with ChessBase apps - Play key positions against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderstanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.6 - Ruy Lopez StructuresVol 6\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnatoly Karpov once said: ‘Understanding the Ruy Lopez is crucial to middlegame improvement in chess’. On this video course I opted for ‘Karpov Ruy Lopez understanding type lines’, the massive majority of the material coming from Chigorin, Breyer and Zaitsev variations. I have tried to give viewers a ‘crash course’ on typical middlegame plans, typical material imbalance ideas (and dynamics), types of positions White or Black should be happy about (or try to avoid!), while combining it (when I saw fit) with useful opening advice (advice based on my forty years’ experience playing and researching those positions). The course aims to improve the understanding of these types of positions to help the viewer to play better and to get better results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 6 hours 25 minutes (English)\u003cbr\u003e• With interactive training including video feedback\u003cbr\u003e• Extra: Model games database \u0026amp; Training with ChessBase apps - Play key positions against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSample video\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640px\" height=\"490px\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/moZ6HLHgUlM\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\" rel=\"max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640px\" height=\"490px\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/Ksioh5u8HVk\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVol 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRossolimo Structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRossolimo Structures: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 1: 3...g6 4.0-0 Bg7 5.Re1 Nf6 6.e5 Nd5 7.Nc3 Nc7 8.Bxc6 dxc6 Rozentalis vs Carlsen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 2: 3...g6 4.0-0 Bg7 5.Re1 e5 6.a3 Nge7 7.b4 and 6.c3 Nge7 7.a3 0-0 8.b4 Botvinnik vs Furman\/Veresov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 3a: 3...Nf6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.d3 and 4.e5 Nd5 5.0-0\/Nc3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 3b: 3...Nf6 4.e5 Nd5 5.Nc3 Nc7 6.

It’s essential to understand ideas and structures connected to the opening moves. Furthermore, recognising mistakes by your opponent to gain an advantage is a key component of the middlegame. In this video course we’ll concentrate on Rossolimo and Maroczy structures in the Sicilian Defence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rossolimo gained popularity recently as it avoids Open Sicilian theory such as the Sveshnikov or Kalashnikov. In essence, we reach an English opening with colours reversed (1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 (or 2…Bb4) 3.g3 Bb4) being a tempo up. As with most colour reversed systems, now we have (as White) a comfortable position (the extra tempo counts after all!), but our aim also changes (as we are no longer happy with a ‘comfortable position’ but are aiming for an advantage). None other than Magnus Carlsen is playing this opening to a great extent, which is a key component of the selection on this video course. We mostly analyse plans after 3…g6 (followed by Bxc6 with both …bxc6 or …dxc6 recaptures) or 3… e6 4.Bxc6 bxc6. At first glance White has an ‘obvious advantage‘ in the Marcozy Bind: White has more space with Black not having clear counterplay. Danish chess legend Bent Larsen liked to play against the Maroczy Bind with Black and came up with many ideas that are still viable today. In this video course, my material is based on the Classical main-line Maroczy bind, I have pointed out the main ideas\/positions both sides are aiming for and show surprising strategic mistakes (committed even in top-level games!).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 7 hours 20 Minutes (English)\u003cbr\u003e• With interactive training including video feedback\u003cbr\u003e• Extra: Model games database \u0026amp; Training with ChessBase apps - Play key positions against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSample video\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640px\" height=\"490px\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/moZ6HLHgUlM\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\" rel=\"max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRossolimo Structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRossolimo Structures: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 1: 3...g6 4.0-0 Bg7 5.Re1 Nf6 6.e5 Nd5 7.Nc3 Nc7 8.Bxc6 dxc6 Rozentalis vs Carlsen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 2: 3...g6 4.0-0 Bg7 5.Re1 e5 6.a3 Nge7 7.b4 and 6.c3 Nge7 7.a3 0-0 8.b4 Botvinnik vs Furman\/Veresov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 3a: 3...Nf6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.d3 and 4.e5 Nd5 5.0-0\/Nc3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 3b: 3...Nf6 4.e5 Nd5 5.Nc3 Nc7 6.

I have tried to give viewers a ‘crash course’ on typical middlegame plans, typical material imbalance ideas (and dynamics), types of positions White or Black should be happy about (or try to avoid!), while combining it (when I saw fit) with useful opening advice (advice based on my forty years’ experience playing and researching those positions). The course aims to improve the understanding of these types of positions to help the viewer to play better and to get better results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Video running time: 6 hours 25 minutes (English)\u003cbr\u003e• With interactive training including video feedback\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Extra: Model games database \u0026amp; Training with ChessBase apps - Play key positions against Fritz on various levels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSample video\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640px\" height=\"490px\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/Ksioh5u8HVk\" style=\"background-color: initial; max-width: 100%;\" rel=\"background-color: initial; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuy Lopez Structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 d6 8.c3 0-0 9.h3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 1: Zaitsev 9...Bb7 10.d4 Re8 11.Ng5 Rf8 12.Nf3 Re8 13. a4 h6 14.Nbd2 Bf8 15.Bc2 Qd7 Shirov vs Sokolov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 2: Breyer 9...Nb8 10.d4 Nbd7 11.Nbd2 Bb7 12.Bc2 c5 13.Nf1 Re8 14.d5 g6 Svidler vs Sokolov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 3: Breyer 9...Nb8 10.d4 Nbd7 11.Nbd2 Bb7 12.Bc2 c5 13.d5 g6 14.Nf1 Qc7 Cheparinov vs Sokolov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 4: Chigorin 9...Na5 10.Bc2 c5 11.d4 Qc7 12.Nbd2 Nc6 13.d5 Nd8 14.a4 Rb8 15.c4 b4 16.b3 Bogoljubow vs Rubinstein\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 5: Chigorin 9...Na5 10.Bc2 c5 11.d4 Qc7 12.Nbd2 Nc6 13.d5 Nd8 14.a4 Rb8 15.c4 Bd7 Stein vs Ivkov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 6: Chigorin 9...Na5 10.Bc2 c5 11.d4 Nd7 12.d5 Nb6 13.g4 h5 Fischer vs Keres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 7: Chigorin 9...Na5 10.Bc2 c5 11.d4 Qc7 12.Nbd2 Bd7 13.Nf1 Nc4 14.d5 Nb6 Kasparov vs Petrosian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 8: Chigorin 9...Na5 10.Bc2 c5 11.d4 Qc7 12.Nbd2 Bd7 13.Nf1 Rfe8 14.d5 c4 Landa vs Nikolic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 9: Breyer 9...Nb8 10.d4 Nbd7 11.Nbd2 Bb7 12.Bc2 Re8 13.Nf1 Bf8 14.Ng3 g6 Vachier-Lagrave vs Amin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 10: Chigorin 9...Na5 10.Bc2 c5 11.d4 Qc7 12.Nbd2 Bd7 13.Nf1 cxd4 14.cxd4 Rac8 15.Ne3 Rfe8 Spassky vs Keres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 11: Chigorin 9...Na5 10.Bc2 c5 11.d4 Qc7 12.Nbd2 cxd4 13.cxd4 Rd8 14.Nf1 exd4 15.Nxd4 d5 Grischuk vs Bologan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 12: Zaitsev 9...Bb7 10.d4 Re8 11.Nbd2 Bf8 12.a4 h6 13.Bc2 exe4 14.cxd4 Nb4 15.Bb1 c5 16.d5 Nd7 Kasparov vs Karpov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 13: Zaitsev type position 6.d3 d6 7.c3 0-0 8.Re1 Re8 9.Nbd2 Bf8 10.h3 b5 11.Bc2 Bb7 12.d4 g6 Carlsen vs Navara\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 14: Chigorin 9...Na5 10.Bc2 c5 11.d4 Qc7 12.Nbd2 Bb7 13.Nf1 cxd4 14.cxd4 Rac8 15.Bb1 Unzicker vs Keres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 15: Open Spanish 5...Nxe4 6.d4 b5 7.Bb3 d5 8.dxe5 Be6 9.c3 Bc5 10.Nbd2 0-0 11.Bc2 Nxf2 Short - Yussupow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo 16: Chigorin 9...Na5 10.Bc2 c5 11.d4 Qc7 12.Nbd2 Nc6 13.dxc5 dxc5 14.Nf1 Be6 Fischer - Kholmov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise 15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"ChessBase India Shop Digital","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42228821753879,"sku":"564","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/7334\/1975\/files\/3316656317_81920b4f-1a7e-442a-bca8-ef87d0343b14.jpg?v=1744901245"},{"product_id":"understanding-middlegame-strategies-vol-7-9-by-ivan-sokolov","title":"Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.7 - 9 by Ivan Sokolov","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnderstanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.7 - 9 by Ivan Sokolov\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMany young top-players are opting for the trendy “Dynamic Catalan” where, against the triangle or semi-slav structures, White can sacrifice a pawn to gain immediate initiative.

At first glance, these two systems seem unrelated. However, they share a common strategic challenge: the value of tempi, structure, and psychology when familiar openings are played with colours reversed. Drawing on his long professional experience, Sokolov explains why these positions are far more subtle than they appear and why traditional engine evaluations often fail to capture their true complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree sample video:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/books.chessbase.com\/perma\/c\/697392ac273449d7a73e1253\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree sample video:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/books.chessbase.com\/perma\/c\/697392ad273449d7a73e125e\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLarsen’s b4 Plan vs Reversed Stonewall Setups: Larsen - Spassky\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"DivDescription\" class=\"col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Reversed Dutch, Sokolov examines 1.f4 from both a practical and strategic perspective. He discusses why many players of the Dutch are uncomfortable facing these structures as Black, how gambit-like positions can arise very early, and why human judgment is often more important than concrete engine lines. Using top-level examples - including games involving Magnus Carlsen - he evaluates whether White’s extra tempo is truly meaningful, or if Black can achieve a fully playable game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe course then moves to the Reversed Grünfeld, where Sokolov analyses two major setups: classical Grünfeld structures with colours reversed, and more flexible versions arising from English-type move orders. Through detailed game analysis, he shows how Black can neutralise White’s extra tempi; why these positions are especially tricky to handle; and where practical chances for improvement still exist - particularly for White players trying to press for an advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the course, the emphasis is on middlegame understanding, not memorisation. Sokolov highlights key plans, typical piece placements, psychological factors, and long-term strategic goals, making this course highly valuable for players who either face these reversed systems or want to employ them confidently themselves.
