Why Playing the ‘Best’ Move Isn’t Always the Best Strategy?
Dear Chess Friends!
Winning in chess isn’t just about knowing the best moves—it’s about making the right decisions based on the situation at hand. A strong chess player must combine technical skill with practical, psychological, and strategic awareness to maximize their chances in competitive play. That’s exactly what we’ll explore in my upcoming online workshop “Pragmatic Approach in Chess”.
In this session, we’ll go beyond pure calculation and theory to understand how top players adapt their approach based on their strengths, their opponents, and the tournament situation. You’ll learn how to use practical strategies that help you secure points, outplay stronger opponents, and handle different game scenarios effectively.
🗓 Date: 03/02
⏰ Time: 11 a.m. EST, 4 p.m. UK time, 5 p.m. CET
During this workshop, you’ll learn:
- How to choose openings and positions that suit your personal strengths
- How to exploit your opponent’s weaknesses—even with imperfect moves
- Smart decision-making based on tournament standings
- The role of time management and psychological pressure in shaping your play
- When a strategic draw is better than pushing for a risky win
Why should you attend?
Many players struggle because they focus only on finding the "best" moves while ignoring the broader competitive picture. Learning how to manage risks, handle psychological battles, and make smart practical choices will help you become a more resilient and successful competitor. Whether you're playing in serious tournaments or improving your overall game, mastering pragmatic decision-making is key to winning more consistently.
