Breakthrough Course for 1500+ players with GM Aleksander Goloshchapov Part1 – The Secrets of Dynamic Play

Description

One of the most frequent questions my young students ask me is “how to understand when to play positionally and when dynamically?”. This is a tricky question that most chess players cannot answer clearly.

To address this question, firstly you need to master the Concept of Tactical Motives. We thoroughly cover it at the very beginning of the course. A tactical motive is the most important element of Dynamic Play. Clear understanding of the concept helps better identify when it is time to consider the position concretely and act energetically.

As chess is mostly a tactical game, in Part 1 we look in detail at dynamic aspects. It is well-known that the development of the attacking skills is high priority for young players.

In Part 1, you get the detailed answers to the questions:

1. What are the short-term factors?
2. What are the indicators that you need to switch to Dynamic Play?
3. How to fight for the initiative from the first moves?
4. What is the positional ground behind any successful attack?
5. What skills do you need to develop to become a strong attacker?

The Course Main Objective is to give you structured knowledge and, even more importantly, help you develop valuable practical skills.

Every lesson is practical training where the student has to make a decision on every position given in the class. After the lesson, the homework on the covered topic is provided in Chessbase format, where the theory is to be applied in practice.
