What is a squeeze? When you take control of a game, deprive your opponent of counter play and slowly squeeze the life out of your opponent. The motto of the squeeze could be: To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill. from The Art of War, Sun Tzu, Chinese general, born c. 500 BC This DVD will help you to recognize when a squeeze is possible and how to execute it. Throughout the DVD, specially selected positions will enable you to test your understanding of the subject. The Power Play series is suitable for anyone looking to improve their chess, but also provides ready-made lessons and exercises for a trainer. Video running time: 5 hours.
