Chess Strategy – Step by Step Training Software & ChessCentral's "Common Sense in Chess" E-book (2 Item Bundle)

Making the right strategic decisions is one of the most difficult tasks at the chessboard. But how can we enhance our strategic understanding and methodical play? Order this outstanding chess software bundle today. The bundle includes one of the standard works in chess literature, “Common Sense in Chess”, edited for the 21st century by ChessCentral. Now you can witness a series of lectures given by the 2nd World Chess Champion before an audience of London players in early 1895 – this e-book has been carefully translated into ChessBase format, offering you a front row seat in the lecture hall! Great instruction for any chess player. For the present video course Rustam has carefully selected games from his own practice which are dominated by positional and strategic considerations, clarifying in extensive annotations which ideas the decisions of the Grandmasters are based upon. He shows how the game plan is made already in the first moves of the opening and then – in the ideal case – purposefully continued step by step in the middlegame. At the end of this entertaining and practically relevant course, you will be familiar with many positional elements like open lines, strong and weak squares, pawn chains, isolated pawns, space advantage, pawn majorities, hanging pawns, etc. – making you ready to use them for your own play. Video running time: 3:54 min. Rustam Kasimdzhanov was born in 1979, and the Grandmaster from Uzbekistan has for many years been known as a very strong and imaginative player. However, in 2004 Rustam Kasimdzhanov shocked the chess world by winning the FIDE world chess championship title, beating a string of world-class players like Ivanchuk, Grischuk, Topalov and Adams in the process.

Ezra’s portrait last week, which I forgot to edit, as usual XD

Her description:
——————————————
I used to play chess a lot when I was a kid even though I wasn’t good at it. I actually joined the chess club back in middle school, but I never really excelled at it. However playing chess always made me feel happy, even when I lost.

My dad bought us this carved chess set for us about 10 years ago. These days, I normally just play video games, but I saw this the other day and realized that I missed playing chess, so I took it out.

Thanks a lot to my sister for taking my picture and editing it!
