Herman Grooten: Key Concepts of Chess – Pawn Structures Vol. 1 Open-, Half-Open Files and The Pawn Chain In this series it’s all about strategy for club players, explained in a simple way with clear examples! The idea is to focus on certain themes using specific pawn structures. The central question is: how can the pieces be manoeuvred into good positions and what should we then consider? IM Herman Grooten will offer rules-of-thumb and concepts to give clubchess players the necessary guidance to try and find the right paths in their own games. In this two-part course the emphasis will be on typical pawn-structures, ones that appear quite often in games and that will be very recognisable to club-chess players. Hence, the topics “Open and half-open files” and “the pawn chain” will be covered extensively on this video course. • Video running time: 6 hours 30 min (English) • With interactive training including video feedback • Extra: Model Games and Training with ChessBase apps - Play key pawn structures against Fritz on various levelsweiterlesen
