How To Lose In Chess #2: No Appreciation…
In this lecture I want to show you how games are often lost, namely by a lack of sufficient appreciation for important chess factors. You can avoid losing like this and become a better chess player by learning to appreciate what strong positional assets are, how you can keep or obtain them, and how to exploit them.

Lesson #3: The Analytical Approach (1)
In lesson #2 we saw some training positions where it was either possible to make your move immdediately or where more examination was needed. Again: the measure in which you can make you move “immediately” depends on your playing strength.
In this lesson I want to focus on positions that are tactical in nature and therefore require an analytical approach (see also lesson #1 and #2).
In the video I do some assumptions:
- the positions were decided to be all tactical in nature
- we can’t make the move “immediately”, they need closer examination
- we therefore need the analytical approach:
- tactical breakdown
- candidate moves
- calculation of lines
- position judgement
- choice of move
Happy training!
