Join me on this chess journey to improve our chess as we study chess together. I will study chess tactics, as well as chess strategy learning from Ludek Pachman's masterpiece, "Complete Chess Strategy", and studying endgames from Mark Dvoretsky in his magnum opus, "Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual".
I share my spontaneous comments and impressions as I work through it all, including live recorded failures and successes as I work the exercises. You are invited to study the same material at the same time, or to just put the video on while you study chess on your own, and I study alongside you.
Let's take our chess to the next level!
In this video, I try to bring down the overall time to under an hour, and succeed, and hopefully this will be more suitable for my fellow students. More cool tactics start the session, followed by a discussion on a curious evaluation by Pachman, and finally one more exercise by Dvoretsky, with a neat little ending. I managed to solve it and kind of went nuts. :-)
