Dear Chess Friends!

Every chess player knows that doubled pawns are usually a disadvantage of your position! I think it’s true only if these pawns are isolated. In such a case they may become the objects of the attack especially in the endgame.

It’s very often when you can’t undouble them or even convert a pawn majority to a passed pawn. Another drawback of having doubled pawns is a king weakness, if pawns are doubled on the side where the king is located.

However, despite all this disadvantages we should also pay attention to the benefits that we get: open or semi-open files that we can exploit. Also, one of the doubled pawns may play a role of a “security guard” that covers some key-squares.

Would you like to learn how to exploit benefits of having doubled pawns and how to attack enemy doubled pawns to win the game? Welcome to my next 30th webinar: “How to Play With and Against Doubled Pawns”!

I’m going to illustrate everything by the examples of a few games played by top grandmasters and, of course, explain the ideas behind their moves:

  • Mark Taimanov – Alexey Suetin
  • Vassily Smyslov – Gideon Stahlberg
  • Vassily Smyslov – Vladimir Antoshin
  • Efim Geller – Isaac Lipnitsky

I also prepared 2 exercises for you! I’m sure you will be able to play better after you do them!

The webinar starts on Sunday (26th of April) at 10 a.m. (EDT), 2 p.m. (GMT), 5 p.m. (Moscow time). This webinar is free.

I'm 34. I live in Russia, Novosibirsk. I learned to play chess when I was 5. I regularly won prizes at Novosibirsk region Championship and Siberia Chess Championship among juniors. I'm a champion of Novosibirsk City Chess Club at 2002 and a champion of Novosibirsk at 2019.


I got Master's Degree in Economics at Novosibirsk State University and also played for its chess team.


Today I am focusing on teaching chess online and offline. The reason why I do this is because I feel happy when see how my students achieve success.

 

I teach juniors since 2002. Almost all of my students were ranked. Some of them got prizes at Novosibirsk region Championship.

I also teach you chess openings and I believe you know how important they are. According to the statistics right-playing of the opening makes from 30 to 60% of your success (the exact number depends on your level).
