Ivan Sokolov presents his series of Fritztrainers dedicated to the midfield
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.1: Dynamic Pawns
This Fritztrainer deals with various dynamic decisions involving ♙♟. The aim is to provide tournament players with new ideas they can use in their own practice.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.2: Practical Play
Here, Sokolov has selected material aimed at improving mid-game decision-making and broadening general understanding of this phase.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.3: The Hedgehog
The middle game positions resulting from the hedgehog are among the most difficult to master. With White, there’s always a risk of being too optimistic; with Black, the danger is of choosing the wrong ♟ break, or simply not getting any counterplay and being overwhelmed.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.4: Dynamic pawn structures
Studying this video course should greatly improve the management of dynamic ♙♟ positions! As with all the other video courses in the series, the material presented here is primarily aimed at higher-level and tournament players.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.5: Sicilian Rossolimo and Maroczy Structures
Understanding an opening does not stop at theory. It’s essential to understand the ideas and structures associated with opening moves. In addition, recognizing the mistakes your opponent makes to gain an advantage is a key element in the middle game. This video course focuses on the Rossolimo and Maroczy structures of the Sicilian.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.6: Ruy Lopez Structures
Understanding an opening doesn’t stop at theory. It’s essential to understand the ideas and structures involved in opening moves. Moreover, recognizing your opponent’s mistakes to gain an advantage is a key element in the middle game. This video course focuses on Spanish structures.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.7: Dynamic Catalan
Many top young players opt for the fashionable “dynamic Catalan” where, against triangular or semi-slaved structures, White can sacrifice a ♙ to immediately take the initiative. This sacrifice can lead to a long-term positional advantage, but often White, with with a ♙ break in the center, can trigger dangerous ♚ threats.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.8: French Winawer
The French Winawer is complex and can lead to a wide variety of middlegame types. The Winawer after 3…♝b4 is Black’s most proactive option, immediately weakening White’s ♙♙ structure by doubling the ♙c.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.9: French Tarrasch
In the French Tarrasch variation, White seems to be doing well, but initial assessments can be misleading and Black certainly has trumps, creating complicated and fascinating positions.
