Jan Markos: Middlegame strategy

For a chess player, chess pieces are like specific tools in a toolbox. We need to know how to use them best, like a craftsman knows their tools. We shouldn’t use a screwdriver to hammer in a nail, and we shouldn’t use the queen just for defence. This series will show you in great detail the specific qualities of each chess piece, so that you can maximize their effectiveness and thus improve your game. This week you can get both FritzTrainer volumes by Slovak chess grandmaster, coach, and author, for just €38.90, which is €20 below the regular list price.
