Strategy University Vol 1: The Central Approach – GM Adrian Mikhalchishin

Overview

The centre is the most important part of the battlefield.

In chess, we study various different kinds of centre, some special forms of which were already discussed on the chess strategy DVD ‘Winning Structures’.

But in chess literature, we have a huge lack of educational material on the role of the centre and on the power of pawns and pieces in the centre.

And the most important part which is missing – how to change the pawn structure in the centre.

This is really the knowledge that marks out the champions.

This chess strategy DVD explains how to win using the central approach with the help of classical games played by Botvinnik, Fischer, Rubinstein, Steinitz, and Tal amongst others.
