MSK Chess's video: Pawn structure chess

One of the greatest books to have actually made a discernible impact on my chess strength is the legendary book, Pawn Structure Chess, by Grandmaster Andrew Soltis. In it he takes about sixteen well known pawn configurations and explains with reference to illustrative games the plans and ideas associated with them based on the configuration of pawns. Prior to this i was developing for developments sake, sharpening the game when there was no real reason to sharpen the game and playing in a plan-less, haphazard manner. Ok sometimes I still do, but its nowhere near as bad as it was. the video lecture above looks at the idea in more depth and the hope is that it provides a basis for beginner and intermediate players to think in strategic terms taking their game to new levels of understanding regards MSK Chess https://www.facebook.com/msk.chess http://www.chess.com/blog/robbie_1969/play-against-the-bishop-pair chess, echecs , ajedrez , xadrez , shahmati , szachy , sjakk , schach , schaken , satranj , шахматы , شطرنج
