THE ART OF ATTACKING CHESS pgn
Vladimir Vuković's iconic course is concerned primarily with teaching you one thing: attacking the opponent's castled King.It is a masterpiece in clear, precise instructions on how to bring the house crashing down, edited by GM John Nunn and given a thorough engine-check for 2020 by Chessable's FM Kamil Plichta. It is designed to train the tactical problems Vuković presents so you learn them motifs fast.Now we've added GM Williams into the mix. After all, who better to teach it than the "GingerGM"?
After finishing the attacking chess video course, you should apply the concepts you have learned in the actual games. In order to reinforce attacking concepts you just learned we have specifically selected the examples from GM games that you can practice against our engine.
The GMs might have missed this one since it was under the blunderproof thread in main:'One thing I've noticed about my chess (or at least when I was rusty a few weeks ago), is that watching a game and joining in the middle I get quickly focused on one thing, that I'm not taking in the board and the relationship between the pieces, except where the action is. That perhaps is less of a factor while playing as that gets built up.I'm wondering if there is any training for taking in all that's happening, starting from simple positions up to quite sharp one. That has to help the tactics. Doing puzzle rush helps somewhat, but the first 30 odd puzzles (and many of other puzzles) are about focusing in on the obvious point of action and sacrificing something (or back rank mate), nor do they have a good level of complexity increase so you can find where you currently are in what you can take in and train from there.'I asked about the sight of board question to GM Shankland in a Q&A session. His opinion was train it blindfold with simple tactical positions (so you are not confounding it with difficult tactics and calculation). Use a training partner to one by one give you the piece positions to build what's happening up in your head, then try to solve it blindfold.My own thought is if you don't have a partner, you could try for example to save a tactical database file as pgn, view in a text editor, cover the screen so you can't see the solution and read the FEN tag (which while gives you multiple pieces, it's not so easy to see straight off and you'll need to build it up in your head before solving).
I suspect that a lot of what makes up rapid sight of board "just" comes down to pattern recognition. If you internalised a massive library of patterns then you can quickly assess the most obvious stuff and then start branching out to what else is happening on the board.Not just tactical patterns, but positional patterns, attacking patterns, defensive patterns, endgame patterns etc.
That would make for an interesting pause the video course - look at a position, pause and think about the key elements to consider in the evaluation and decide what your evaluation is and why, and then listen to the GM's thoughts on the position and how they evaluate it. Some of the daily chess lessons with a GM are like this.You might like the book Best Play by Alexander Shashin

Both site have their pro and cons currently i m in the dojo training program saw some videos during the free testing period lot of nice things inside. Currently focusing more on one things don t like to divide my attention too much did it a lot already in the past (purshase lot of chessable course without finishing half of them...). But what i saw from the video seems really interresting. Read lot of blog post lot of interresting things their too. Hope the partnership goes trough and we get a nice training plan which incorporate the best of both site. Thanks for the free preview (I divide my attention again but was worth it ?)
Hello all!Ive been playing a bit (along with studying) for about two years and just found this great website. Im starting to work my way through the courses such as mating matador and tactics, etc, which is all topics Ive been exposed to but enjoy the presentation and review from chessmood. Alongside these courses I decided I would invest the time to follow and learn chessmood recommended openings and watched the blackmood course, as there were only two openings to learn from black and i dont want to focus too much on this aspect of the game at my modest level, per what seems to be the conventional wisdom..At the end of the course description, they said there would be courses on using the black openings for white; however, these courses arent yet available.If i wanted to use this approach so I didnt have to devote any more time to opening study over other topics (there is considerably more work on the white side than the black side), would opening white with 1. e3 be valid, and then following with either 2.d4 or 2.f4 as appropriate to emulate a reversed Dutch/French? Again, I am interested in this so that I can minimize my study of openings and devote effort to the other aspects of the game, and so thought this is perhaps a reasonable streamlined approach to a workable repertoire for both colors for the price of 1, so to speak...especially since the course description alludes to the idea of using blackmood for the white side.Thanks so much for any feedback. Cheers!
related for those interested in watching.The TLDR summary is that to improve your chess you will have to do a lot of work.The good news is that with Chessmood the quality inputs are provided here for us. The rewatchability of the classic games and various courses is significant. There is too much to gleen from just one viewing.Happy studies everyone.
Hi there. My name is Frankie. 54 years old. Married, gamer dad, IT Manager from a country that has no GM.I stream chess at twitch.tv/durian_defense .... just wanted to ask if anyone else here streams on Twitch? If yes, great! If no, that's no problem. Just curious.I bit the bullet and signed up for the yearly Pro Plan during the 72 hour offer period. I am looking forward to being a productive and useful member of the Chessmood community.Just want to share an interesting t-shirt I saw a motorcyclist wearing the other day. His shirt read the words: "Good food is good mood". So a useful piece of the puzzle to playing chess in a good mood is ... good food! Eat well, eh?

Hello, Dear Champions,Being all my life a Sicilian player recently I have been playing the French attack in my streams and other events. However during my training games against 2850 GM. I used the opening and it turned out it practically works so well. I was enjoying great positions out of the openings. I have won all the games as black and below you can find the link. I love this French attack! ://www.chess.com/game/live/52502977865 ://www.chess.com/game/live/52501922833P.S. This is not the only session against very high-level opponents, so I would say on the level below 2700 it's practically very interesting!Good luck and best wishes Champion! I would love to see your French-Attack masterpieces here so you are welcome to share your games!
Congratulation, nice games with Bd7 not so easy to play with white. I've checked and GM Shipov is often using as black if anybody need more games to reserach.I'm happy that there are at two opening for chessmood becasue then everybody could easier prepare and based on openings CM.
Hello, I started to play 20+ years ago, and easily ranked up to 2000 Fide Elo. Then I stopped to play , and now I can resume my chess career.I used to be agressive player and play for checkmating opponent asap in every game. Now, I understand that I need to be "multistyle" to perform.My goal is to reach 2300 elo.Do you have any recommandation to learn positional chess ? Do I need to work on my principal weakness, or is it better to work on my strenghts ? (tactical play, sharp positions ...)Thank you
A viewer vs streamer game in which I followed the chessmood opening and after 12.Nec3 I got confused cause I think it is not covered in the course any suggestions on how to continue. I would be very much grateful if someone guides me.???Regards Vedant
Interactive chess books and interactive chess columns, that feature questions on positional assessments or tactical calculation placed at critical moments of an illustrative game, have been a perennial favorite with the chess student for many years.
Paraguayan Grandmaster Zenon Franco (in Spanish speaking countries: GM Zenón Franco Ocampos) has a vibrant social media presence and is chess columnist for the Paraguayan news site abc.com.py. In his column ( _528.html) he writes about contemporary chess events, and, with painstaking care, showcases and annotates classic games. Franco has had an illustrious and long chess playing career, is an accomplished author, and a much sought after trainer.
Vuković edited the monthly chess magazine Šahovski Glasnik (Chess Journal), the official periodical of the Yugoslavian chess federation.[8]He is the author of The Art of Attack in Chess (Oxford-London 1963),[9] which is widely regarded as a classic of chess literature.[10][11][12] Other books he wrote include Razvoj šahovskih ideja [The development of chess ideas] (Zagreb 1928) and The Chess Sacrifice (London-New York 1968).
I want to use every book or dvd review I make for training. Yes, we are living an amazing time in chess history, more chess books are published every month, than in any other time in history. Chess books are also quite cheap compared to 1 hour lesson by a GM (generally it costs between 75 and $100). Practically I can buy 3 chess books or more with what would I spend for one hour GM lesson. Hence the smart thing to do is to buy at least 3 chess books every month, and keep the chess training always varied. 041b061a72
