Ivan Sokolov introduces his Fritztrainer series
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.1 - Dynamic Pawns This Fritztrainer deals with different dynamic decisions involving pawns. The aim to arm club/tournament players with fresh ideas which they can use in their own practice.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.2 - Practical Play Here Sokolov has selected the material aiming to improve the viewer’s middlegame decision-making process and broaden middlegame understanding in general.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.3 - The Hedgehog One of the most difficult type of positions to master. With White there is always a danger to overextend oneself, with Black there is always a danger to mistime your pawn break, or simply to not get counterplay and be overrun.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.4 - Dynamic pawn structures Studying this video course should greatly improve the viewer’s handling of dynamic pawn positions! As with all the other video courses, material here is predominantly aimed at improving players and tournament players.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.5 - Sicilian Rossolimo and Maroczy Structures Understanding an opening doesn’t stop after the theory. It’s essential to understand ideas and structures connected to the opening moves. Furthermore, recognising mistakes by your opponent to gain an advantage is a key component of the middlegame. This video course concentrates on Rossolimo and Maroczy structures in the Sicilian Defence.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.6 - Ruy Lopez Structures Understanding an opening doesn’t stop after the theory. It’s essential to understand ideas and structures connected to the opening moves. Furthermore, recognising mistakes by your opponent to gain an advantage is a key component of the middlegame. This video course concentrates on structures in the Ruy Lopez Defence.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.7 - Dynamic Catalan Many young top-players are opting for the trendy “Dynamic Catalan” where, against the triangle or semi-slav structures, White can sacrifice a pawn to gain immediate initiative. This sacrifice can lead to long term positional advantage, but often White can unleash dangerous threats upon the black king with a central pawn break.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.8 - French Winawer The French is a complex opening and can lead to a wide variety of middlegames. The Winawer after 3...Bb4 is Black’s most proactive option, immediately weakening White’s pawn structure by doubling their c-pawns.
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.9 - French Tarrasch In the Tarrasch variation, White seems to be doing great, but initial evaluations can be deceptive and Black certainly has trumps, creating complicated and fascinating positions.
