Daniel King: What happens next? – #3

5.7.2012 - GM Daniel King has set up an interactive YouTube format for chess training, one that is resonating well with our readers. In this third installment Danny leads us to a key position in a game from the Icelandic Championship and then asks us to choose between two strategical continuations. Like the game itself both moves are annotated by the GM. It's a fun way to improve your playing strength.
 

Daniel King: What happens next? Question #3

When you reach the end you can pause the video and study the position to decide which move you choose. Once you have made your choice GM King will explain whether your choice is correct or not, and more importantly why exactly this is the case. Even if you have chosen the correct move you might want to go back and see why the other alternative fails, all explained in the wonderfully didactic style of GM Daniel King.

Daniel King, born 1963, is a British grandmaster who has been a professional chess player for more than twenty years. He has represented his country in numerous competitions, amongst others in the historic win by the English over the Soviet Union in 1990 in Reykjavik.

King is the author of more than 15 chess books and has wealth of experience as a trainer, assisting many of England’s leading players. He is also well known for his broadcasting on TV, radio and the Internet, commentating on major chess events. To the delight of chess fans worldwide, he hosts his monthly "Powerplay" show on Playchess.com. He contributes to ChessBase Magazine with the popular column "Move by Move".
