There are many key elements in chess: opening theory, endgame theory, middlegame strategy, and calculating variations based on tactics. In each area, there are the most efficient and logical ways to perform selected maneuvers or positional improvements. In general, we refer to these as "technique."

Every player must know the necessary knowledge of the classic maneuvers. This is how we master our technical skills. With this video course I will give you the necessary knowledge for your own practice. Topics include: important ways to improve your pieces, how to create and use strong pieces, typical methods of creating pawn and square weaknesses and methods of exploiting them, technique in handling the pieces.
