Chess enthusiasts aiming to deepen their understanding and refine their skills have a notable opportunity this week. ChessBase has announced special promotional pricing on two distinct, high-value training packages, catering to players focused on either strategic mastery or building a reliable opening repertoire.
Ivan Sokolov: A Deep Dive into Middlegame Strategy
Ivan Sokolov is a name synonymous with top-level chess, not only as a formidable player but also as an exceptional coach. His recent success guiding the Uzbek national team to a gold medal at the 2022 Chess Olympiad in Chennai underscores his coaching pedigree. His extensive work, “Understanding Middlegame Strategies,” stands as one of the most comprehensive collections available on the subject.
Comprising eleven volumes, this detailed course is specifically tailored for experienced club and tournament players looking to navigate complex middlegame scenarios with greater insight and precision. It`s a serious commitment to improving positional understanding, designed to build a robust strategic foundation. Normally, acquiring this entire eleven-volume bundle represents a significant investment at €299.90. However, for a strictly limited time, the complete set is available at a special price of €209.90.
Martin Breutigam: Mastering 1.d4 with a Modern Approach
For players who prefer leading with 1.d4 and seek a repertoire that is both modern and practical, International Master Martin Breutigam offers a compelling two-volume course. Titled “1.d4! – A Modern Repertoire,” this series is designed to provide players with a solid yet aggressive system that applies pressure without requiring memorization of endless, convoluted theoretical lines – a common frustration for many club players.
The repertoire is logically structured: Volume 1 addresses lines arising after 1.d4 d5, covering Black`s classical responses, while Volume 2 delves into the various Indian Defenses and other less common replies, ensuring comprehensive coverage against most opponent setups. This two-volume bundle, which typically retails for €69.90, is part of the current special offer and can be acquired for €49.90. Please note that this course is presented in German.
Limited Window for Significant Value
These special prices are not indefinite. The promotional period for both Ivan Sokolov`s strategy bundle and Martin Breutigam`s 1.d4 repertoire runs for one week only, from July 7th to July 14th. For dedicated players contemplating an investment in high-quality chess education, this limited-time window presents a clear opportunity to acquire substantial training resources from respected experts at a reduced cost.
Improving at chess requires focused study, and resources like these, developed by proven players and coaches, offer structured pathways to enhance critical areas of one`s game. Acting within this week could mean acquiring a vast library of strategic knowledge or a ready-to-deploy opening repertoire at a significantly more accessible price point.
