Description:

The Chess Middlegame I course, composed by GM Alexander Kalinin, aims to teach students various middlegame methods and intricacies through a theoretical section.

This course covers typical plans and methods in popular openings such as Scotch, Ruy Lopez, Sicilian, Caro-Kann, French, English opening, Dutch, Slav, Catalan, Nimzo-Indian, King's Indian, Grünfeld, and Benko Gambit. The Encyclopedia of Middlegame course also provides detailed material about typical pawn structures like Karlsbad and Hedgehog.

This course is part of the Chess King Learn series (https://learn.chessking.com/), which offers a comprehensive chess teaching method. The series includes courses on tactics, strategy, openings, middlegame, and endgame, designed for beginners to experienced players, including professionals.

With the help of this course, students can improve their chess knowledge, learn new tactical tricks and combinations, and apply their acquired knowledge in practice.

The program serves as a coach by giving tasks to solve and offering guidance when needed. It provides hints, explanations, and even demonstrates refutations for mistakes made.

In addition to the practical exercises, the program includes a theoretical section that explains game strategies in different stages based on real-life examples.
