"He is playing without a knight, and soon after that he will be playing without a King" that was priceless and worth the membership money alone. What a great video.

Very good video. I especially like the strategy of "trapping" a piece." Never quite thought of that. Now I have one more means to win a game, if the situation comes up and I play well. Thanks, Grandmaster Dejan!

Perhaps the most critical element of knowing when to simplify, the recognition of a sidelined enemy piece, is once again on display in today's video lecture. The follow up plan of trading off all the other pieces in order to exploit the out of play" weak piece is the key element here. Former World Champ Kasparov leads us off, and we end with an instructive and fun puzzle!
