Understanding Middlegame Strategies - Dynamic Pawns: Ivan Sokolov

In this DVD we deal with different dynamic decisions involving pawns. The aim of this DVD is to arm club/tournament players with fresh ideas which they can use in their own practice. I hope my selected material will inspire the viewer to take similar decisions in his/her own games.

I have structured this DVD into 4 chapters:

1. Minor Sacrifices

2. Rolling Pawns

3. Allowing pawn islands

4. Dynamic ideas with g- and h-pawns 

Every chapter consists of model games displaying different aspects of the theme. The variety of games should give you enough insights to spot these strategies in your own practice.

• Video running time: 4 hours 50 minutes (English)

• With interactive training including video feedback

• Extra: Database with more examples
