Converting an Extra Pawn in Chess by GM Sam Shankland
You only need 3 steps to convert the smallest, most common material advantage into a win. Join the 2018 U.S. Champion as he shows you how to stabilize your position, change the structure to your advantage... and map out a winning plan for your extra pawn.
1...d6 Danger by NM Max Farberov
You play sharp with White, why fold with Black!? Fight on your terms with this "comeback" repertoire. One which took a semi-retired amateur who can't break 1900 to 2600 online and National Master. It combines ...d6 and ...e5 to steer the game into unbalanced positions you know better than White.
100 Repertoires: Benko Gambit by GM Àlvar Alonso Rosell
Lock White into awkward positions with this triple-threat gambit by the 2011 Spanish Champion. Apply the Benko's classic queenside pressure. Burst through the center with your e-pawn. Or go all out with "high-risk, high-reward" lines when winning is the only option.
Pressure the Caro-Kann: Two Knights Attack for White by Russ Southern & presented by NM Solomon Ruddell
This rare, hard-hitting counter to 1...c6 appears in only 7% to 9% of your opponent's games... but scores up to 70% in some lines! With your knight on c3, you invite Black to overextend, while setting up thunderous tactics on the enemy light squares.
Over on the Chessable blog, we rolled out the red carpet for new app users...
Plus, we also unveiled in-app analysis and folder-focused reviews to help you get squeeze more improvement from your training time.
Enjoy these new releases.
That's it for this week's round-up, and see you in the next one!
