In this volume, we dive into core aspects of chess technique. Smyslov taught the principle of tactical hierarchy, “checks, double attacks, and unprotected pieces”, and Mikhalchishin demonstrates how this method of calculation is vital. He shows how top players apply it, but also how even grandmasters sometimes miss critical resources, highlighting the necessity of developing a strong “tactical sense.” This approach encompasses tactical vigilance and scanning for sacrifices, but is also highly relevant to the second part of the course, which focuses on more strategic elements such as the use of heavy pieces and endgame technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree Video Sample:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/books.chessbase.com\/perma\/c\/6a1d24ddd00327577dcaf5a2\"\u003eSimple Tactics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree Video Sample:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/books.chessbase.com\/perma\/c\/6a1d24ddd00327577dcaf5b5\"\u003eMating Net: Ne7+ Qxh7 Rh5+\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"DivDescription\" class=\"col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough instructive model games and structured video lessons, you’ll explore:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecise Endgame Technique: Convert theoretical draws or winning positions with accurate play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSacrificing for Activity: Modern chess revolves around activity, so sacrificing a pawn is often justified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTactical Vigilance: Develop alertness to tactical opportunities by applying Smyslov’s principle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlank Pla: A long-standing rule of thumb is to play in the center when your opponent plays on the flank, and vice versa.
