What is "The Complete Manual Of Positional Chess"
What is "The Complete Manual Of Positional Chess"
The Complete Manual of Positional Chess is a modern and well-regarded book written about one of the most important parts of chess: positional play. The Complete Manual of Positional Chess is a 2 volume series. This masterclass will go, in great detail, through volume 1 of The Complete Manual of Positional Chess, which is filled with 30 chapters, which go into depth about 30 important positional concepts. I will, therefore, make 30 videos, each covering a chapter of The Complete Manual of Positional Chess. I will summarize, using what are in my opinion the most illustrative examples from the book, the main concepts the chapter is talking about, in a comprehensible format, so you can fully learn The Complete Manual of Positional Chess.
How to Tackle this Masterclass?
How to Tackle this Masterclass?
I recommend, with 31 videos, to study one video a day. Before each lesson, also review quickly the ideas you learned the previous day. Perhaps, by skimming through the previous video with your cursor (or playing it at 2x speed). In no time you will master the fundamentals of positional play!
