<em><strong>GM Ivan Sokolov on this DVD</strong></em>: "I have selected chess strategies aiming to improve the viewer’s middlegame decision-making process and broaden his/her middlegame understanding in general.

I have structured this DVD into 4 chapters: 1. What to trade, what to keep 2. The king on f8 defends himself 3. Open file 4. Creating crises

Every chapter consists of model games displaying different aspects of the theme.

The variety of games should give you enough insights to spot these chess strategies in your own practice."

Understanding Middlegame Chess Strategies Vol. 2: Practical Play - GM Ivan Sokolov (Physical Disc)
Understanding Middlegame Chess Strategies Vol. 2: Practical Play

GM Ivan Sokolov on this DVD: “I have selected chess strategies aiming to improve the viewer’s middlegame decision-making process and broaden his/her middlegame understanding in general.

I have structured this DVD into 4 chapters: 1. What to trade, what to keep 2. The king on f8 defends himself 3. Open file 4. Creating crises

Every chapter consists of model games displaying different aspects of the theme.

The variety of games should give you enough insights to spot these chess strategies in your own practice.”
