Understanding Middlegame Strategies - Vol 7 (Download)
by Ivan Sokolov

 Many young top-players are opting for the trendy “Dynamic Catalan” where, against the triangle or semi-slav structures, White can sacrifice a pawn to gain immediate initiative. This sacrifice can lead to long term positional advantage, but often White can unleash dangerous threats upon the black king with a central pawn break.

Numerous games evolve into dynamic attacking ventures for White, providing ample chances to sacrifice material and unleash impressive threats. Opting for the "Dynamic Catalan" can be your opening preference, especially if you are inclined to seize control of the game from the outset. This video course by Grandmaster Ivan Sokolov equips you with a sharp tool to enhance your repertoire. Drawing from his experience, Sokolov, who has played the "Dynamic Catalan" against top-level opponents like Caruana and Vallejo Pons, emphasizes its virtues, citing a sense of comfort derived from factors such as spatial advantage, initiative, and a secure king.
