Talking to the characters

How do you set up systematic chess training so that students can apply the knowledge they have gained in their own games? The author Stefan Becker has come up with a shockingly simple answer. The solution to any chess question is on the board. It is therefore obvious that the pieces should be asked how they imagine events will develop. But how do you conduct such conversations, and what happens when the interests of the pieces conflict? Grandmaster Dr. Karsten Müller gives the pieces his voice and tries to formulate their feelings, plans and wishes, while Stefan Becker demonstrates how the right decision follows from this dialogue, concrete calculations and new questions. This DVD provides the answers using selected master games. Suddenly it becomes clear how world-class players developed their ideas, which at first glance seem astonishing.
