Dear Chess Friends!

In the opening stage of the game you shouldn’t neglect king safety. Moving the king to the one of the sides of the board (usually kingside) is a part & parcel of a solid and competitive opening. Castling should be played not only to move the king into a shelter, but to connect the rooks and join them to the game.

However, it’s not always obvious either to castle or play another helpful move. Sometimes it’s clear that castling kingside is the best option for the king and overall position, but sometimes you have a choice which side to castle. And your decision should be determined by the further game plan.

That’s why I decided to devote my next webinar to castling. I’m glad to invite you to my next 84th webinar “When and Which Side to Castle” where you will learn how to find a proper moment for castling and how a game plan affects which side to castle.

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):

  • Konstantin Sakaev – Dmitry Lavrik
  • Mikhail Tal – Geza Fuster
  • Efim Geller – Andrzej Filipowicz

Join the webinar and learn how to castle properly. I’m sure you will learn a lot and improve your chess performance!

The webinar starts today in 2:30 hours - Sunday (6th of June) at 10 a.m. (EDT), 2 p.m. (GMT), 5 p.m. (Moscow time). This webinar is free.

Important!

The webinar will be streamed on my Twitch and YouTube channels. Subscribe not to miss my stream!

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).
