Many good books have been written on this subject and almost all important (or even less important) strategic assets have been examined in great depth. But there is still enough room in the endless variety of the game of chess for an attempt to classify various themes and a proper description of mechanisms and ways of handling specific types of position. This DVD, called \"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMastering Strategy\u003c\/span\u003e\", tries to cover important aspects of this field and to help you to assimilate knowledge and understand in depth the proper handling of strategy in certain cases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026amp;nbsp; We will examine how to exploit the important f5-square, how to make the most of your own apparently useless isolani, how to handle positions with a pawnless queenside, the handling of the a7 outpost, how to increase small advantages and finally how to handle the weak d5-square. As James Whitaker has mentioned, the person who knows \"how\" will always have a job, but the person who knows \"why\" will always be the \"boss\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"\u003eVideo running time: 4 hrs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"DE\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026amp;nbsp; Efstratios Grivas\u003c\/span\u003e is a Grandmaster and highly experienced chess trainer and chess author.
