Mastering Chess Strategy Vol. 3

Building on the lessons from the previous volumes, Volume 3 shifts the focus to one of the most essential skills in chess: identifying and attacking your opponent’s weaknesses. Whether it’s a weak pawn, a vulnerable king, or poor piece coordination, this course will teach you how to pinpoint the critical targets, prioritise your attack, and execute a clear, effective plan. But strategy alone isn’t enough — you’ll also need tactical awareness! Throughout the course, you’ll encounter exercises that blend strategic planning with dynamic calculation, mirroring real-game situations where the two go hand in hand. What You’ll Learn – A practical approach to targeting weaknesses: • Find the weak spot – Learn how to systematically identify your opponent’s biggest weaknesses. • Prioritise your targets – not all weaknesses are created equal – discover how to choose the most effective plan of attack. • Balance strategy and tactics – understand how strategic planning and concrete calculation complement each other • Stay flexible – dynamic positions require adaptable thinking – train yourself to adjust plans as the position evolves.
