Chess Workshop "Human Capabilities and Middlegame Play"
Dear Chess Friends!
Understanding human capabilities in chess is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of high-level play. Beyond pure calculation and theory, true mastery involves setting practical problems for your opponent, exploiting psychological tendencies, and steering the game into positions where they struggle. The middlegame, where strategic plans clash with tactical complexity, is the perfect battleground for this approach.
I invite you to join me for a workshop, Human Capabilities and Middlegame Play, where we will explore how to make practical, psychology-driven decisions to maximize your chances of success.
🗓 Date: 02/02
⏰ Time: 11 a.m. EST, 4 p.m. UK time, 5 p.m. CET
During this workshop, you’ll learn:
- How to pose practical problems that are tough for humans to solve
- Identifying and exploiting your opponent’s psychological tendencies
- Avoiding positions that favor your opponent — even when you have an objective advantage
- Understanding the risks of practical play and when to use it effectively
- Insights from top-level games to illustrate these concepts in action
Why should you attend?
Mastering these skills will elevate your play beyond pure calculation, helping you win games not just through better moves, but by making life as difficult as possible for your opponents. Whether you're an aspiring tournament player or a club player looking to improve, this workshop will give you practical tools to gain an edge in real games.
