Power Play 6 - Pawns, Pieces & Plans
by Daniel King
If you want to be a well-rounded chess player, it is vital that you have a good understanding of positional play. In this 6th Power Play DVD, Daniel King discusses three classic questions:
* The Isolated Queen’s Pawn
* Central passed pawns
* When to exchange pawns (and when not to exchange pawns)
In each case, the slightest difference in the placement of pieces can make a massive difference to the assessment of the position. At the end of the lectures, you can test your understanding of these themes by examining a series of specially selected test positions.
The Power Play series is suitable for anyone looking to improve their chess, but also provides ready-made lessons and exercises for a trainer. Video running time: 5 hours. Sample(1:58)
