Review: Mastering Calculation by Kostya Kavutskiy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Michael Kotyk presents a complete repertoire after 1.e4 e5, built around creative ideas, surprising move orders, and practical weapons designed to catch your opponents off guard. ChessBase already offers a number of courses on these two important topics: calculation and positional play (strategy). Examples that come to mind are Robert Ris’s "Calculation Training" series and Ivan Sokolov’s "Understanding Middlegame Strategies" series, both of which I have discussed in previous reviews. I was ther

IM Andrew Martin complements his Evans Gambit course with a simple and attacking repertoire against all of blacks sidelines after 1.e4 e5. First, an important note: if you have access to a computer running MS Windows, you can still use even the oldest FritzTrainers in this series, from 2006 to 2012, without restriction.

YOUR PERSONAL CHESS COACH - Whether you’re taking your first steps into the world of club chess, or already playing at a tournament level: with FRITZ, you can train more efficiently, intelligently and with a more personalised approach than ever before. The best opening preparation, positional play and endgame technique are of little use if you fail to calculate the variations correctly in critical positions and then choose the wrong continuation. In his "Calculation Training" series, Dutch IM an
Review: My "Sokolov-Strategy" - Part 3 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chess is a concrete game. There is no way around training your calculation skills. Improve your visualization, pattern recognition and learn calculation techniques such as reciprocal thinking with this course. The 14-part video series Understanding Middlegame Strategies by Dutch grandmaster and author Ivan Sokolov explores a wide range of middlegame themes. The early instalments focus on opening-independent topics such as dynamic pawns and practical middlegame play. The later volumes examine pos
