Webinar 81. The Value of the Center

Dear Chess Friends!

It’s difficult to overestimate the value of the center in a chess game. The pieces can reach any side of the board just in 1-2 moves if they are located in the center. That’s why the player who controls the center usually has the advantage. However, beginners often don’t pay attention to what is happening in the center, but play some random moves with their minor pieces and the queen. And this is your chance!

What happens if a player neglects the center? How to take the advantage of it? This is what I’m going to cover on my next 81st webinar “The Value of the Center” where you will learn how to react if your opponent doesn’t fight for the center and which plans to choose when the center is already under your control. And I’m glad to welcome you to this webinar!

Of course, everything will be illustrated by GM’s games. The games I'm going to demonstrate at the webinar (and, of course, explain the ideas behind their moves):

  • Bobby Fischer – Samuel Reshevsky
  • Bent Larsen – Boris Spassky
  • Arkadij Naiditsch – Christian Bauer

Join the webinar, learn how to take advantage of the center control and exploit it. I’m sure you will learn a lot and improve your chess performance!

The webinar starts on Sunday (9th of May) at 10 a.m. (EDT), 2 p.m. (GMT), 5 p.m. (Moscow time). This webinar is free.

NOTE! There will be no recording of this webinar available. If you want to learn how to improve your ability to attack – register and come to the webinar LIVE!

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 work with adults.

 

I will teach you how to find tactical strikes in certain position types and how to classify them. I can help you to improve you calculational ability. 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).
