Included Products: Volume 91: Crushing Strategy – Damian Lemos To be a top player you must have a good grasp of chess strategy – this involves accurately evaluating a position setting goals and forming a long-term plan to realize those goals. This is not as easy as it might sound – most club players never really get a good feel for strategic thinking. If you want to improve your strategic play then it is important to study GM level strategic games with clear explanations. This was the inspiration for this Course from GM Damian Lemos “Crushing Strategy”. Volume 92: Dominant Defense – Damian Lemos Chess legends Viktor Korchnoi and Tigran Petrosian were famous for their incredible defensive skills. They were such masters of the art of defense that they actually encouraged their opponents to attack them knowing that they would give away too much material or ruin their position trying to make an attack work. In attack players are too optimistic. In defense too pessimistic. Change this and you will have a big advantage over your opponents. Volume 93: Mastering the Middlegame I – Damian Lemos The middlegame is the most rich and varied phase of chess. The near infinite possibilities call for a vast array of knowledge and skills. As chess players we need to take into account pawn structure strategic manoeuvring creation of outposts wild tactics and promotion tricks just to name a few. If we want to win games then we need to know what to do in as many scenarios as is possible. We need to pick out elements of a position and know the techniques required to exploit them. With so much to learn where should you the ambitious chess student start? Volume 94: Mastering the Middlegame II – Damian Lemos For most players playing a beautiful attacking sacrifice destroying the defense and checkmating the King is the most exciting way to win games. The final combinations are rarely the most difficult part of a successful attack however. The real sign of a strong chess player is the ability to build the superior position in the first place. This requires a broad positional understanding and knowledge of techniques. “Mastering the Middlegame” sets out to provide you with exactly those skills. Volume 95: Positional Mastery – Damian Lemos If you have ever played in a game where you had the better position but just couldn’t make progress then this Course on positional chess is for you! To win games against strong players you need an extra set of skills to the usual attacking ideas. There are many careful players who will close the position or passively defend until you try something too optimistic giving away material or making a concession which eventually allows them to win. Incredibly frustrating! Volume 96: Master the Classics – Damian Lemos Kasparov Kramnik and Carlsen have all stated that studying the classics was an important element in their chess education. Bobby Fischer knew the games of Staunton Morphy and Steinitz inside out. The great games of the past are an absolute goldmine of valuable chess lessons. Whilst opening trends come and go many ideas remain true and can be used in our games today. GM Damian Lemos had this in mind when he decided to record a DVD on “Mastering the Classics”. Volume 97: Master Attacks I – Damian Lemos If you want to win game after game against even the toughest opposition then you need to know the ideas in this DVD on master level attacking chess. Every chess player reaches the stage where they come up against solid defenders – you try a few ideas but they seem to have everything covered. You end up exchanging pieces and eventually agree a draw. It’s frustrating and you know you have the potential to win the games. Volume 98: Master Attacks II – Damian Lemos If you have ever had a great position but not known how to continue the attack or found that your opponent has everything defended then you need to learn advanced attacking chess. You are capable of winning every game that you have played this year – all it takes is to pick up the attacking strategies and tactical patterns that the masters know and apply them to your games. Volume 99: Aggressive Chess Domination I – Damian Lemos Aggressive chess wins games. Players like Garry Kasparov and Mikhail Tal were renowned for winning with attacks so powerful that their opponents would be shell-shocked when they finally knocked over their King. The aggression doesn’t begin with the attack on the King however. This style of chess is about playing moves that force your opponent on to the back foot right from the opening demanding their utmost concentration not to get blown off the board. As you keep pushing them back their pieces become passive you begin an attack and they just about counter your threats until you pick up a piece and exchange it for a pawn in front of their King. Check. And it slowly sinks in that your sacrifice forces a mate in 3. Volume 100: Aggressive Chess Domination II – Damian Lemos Playing aggressive chess is the key to overpowering your opponents winning more games and tournaments and doing it in style. Legendary champions like Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov played with such power that people were actually afraid to sit down at the board opposite them. Too many players however are one-dimensional in their approach – their threats are easy to defend and their plans are easy to predict. If you find that your opponents equalize without too much trouble – even if only in a few of your games – then it’s time to upgrade your chess. **IF THERE ARE ONLY DIGITAL PRODUCTS IN YOUR ORDER YOU WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THEM IMMEDIATELY. iF YOU ARE ALSO PURCHASING OTHER PRODUCTS YOU WILL HAVE ACCESS TO DOWNLOADS AS SOON AS YOUR OTHER PRODUCTS HAVE SHIPPED.**
