How to study Middlegames?
Hello! I think my main weakness chess-wise is my middlegame play. The thing is, it is not really clear how to improve it. For example, it is quite easy to improve Endgame play as there are many good books, such as Dvoretzky's Endgame Manual; the same goes for openings, as there is Chessable, Chessmood :), opening books, etc. However, there are very limited books and online resources for middlegames.
How should I study them? How much time should I put into studying them?

Hi Brody, as a pro-member you have wonderful middlegame
lectures within chessmood! My top recommendation would be “classical commented
games”, followed by the course “Happy pieces” and “classical attacking games”.
And if your time allows pick some of the chessmood middlegame
lectures on youtube “Daily Lesson with a Grandmaster”, where there are almost
200 great short lectures by now!
If you take your time to really try to understand that provided
material, you will improve your middlegame skills!
Anti-sicilian d6 11.. Ng4 video 12 theory changed?
In this position, the video commentary (4:30) mentions a big advantage and a plan of d4 Rf3, Rxe3.
Unfortunately both my own analysis and computer analysis / matches puts this into doubt and perhaps this is one reason the Nb5 line doesn't appear as a widely considered option.
The position is R + 2P (3 if the e3 pawn can be captured without any loss) vs 2B. The problem is the concrete nature of this position, lack of open lines for White's rooks, lack of easily accessible targets (aside from e3) for White, the power of Black's 2B working together, and the fact Black has an extra piece of wood (ignoring the pawns) taking away any ideas of sacrificing back an exchange say.
Meanwhile both Black's single rook and queen and Bs do have open lines and targets (a4, b2, f4 [if g3 , then h3]).
The computer gives this position slightly (varying up to half a pawn) in Black's favour (though closer to equal with more chances for Black, but some too for White, is my own feeling). Black's plan is Kg8 and then Rc8 or f8. If White plays Rf3, then Bh6 attacks f4.
There are some different moves playable earlier, which might give White a very small edge and therefore keep the line alive in practical terms over the board, but again the computers make a lot of draws.
I'm not sure until this is resolved that the theory can be claimed to have been changed. Even if 12... a6 might not be found (not that it's not an obvious candidate), it only needs one game of yours to get in a database and this line will be found by the next person prepping a defence against you.
Is there any concrete analysis to support the claim of a 'big advantage'?
Replies
Bumping as unanswered so far.
I think that if I have this position in the board I would be more than happy as White. You need to see things from a human perspective. Just watching stockfish evaluations all day will not do much good I believe.
Where you see weaknesses I see potential. A weak pawn is the pawn that has no other pawn that is able to support him. This is not the case and even if all black pieces attack for exemple b2, there are only 3 pieces that can attack, and 3 defenders.
Also the e3 pawn will fall, no need to do it now right away, we choose the moment as White because we are in control. Black has to wait because they do not have a clear path. There is no Trojan horse ready and believe me, people lose control when they do not know what to expect.
Anyway, I specially asked Avetik to reply to your post, but please try to not be so influenced by the engines, after all we are humans with human flaws...
David, practical big advantage and a big advantage for the engine are different.
I don't understand the fun you're having, watching the courses, compare with different engines and ask these questions...
I mentioned not once, that we appreciate and are eager to answer human questions.
Your favourite player?
For me I just love Fischer. It made me cry for more than an hr when I saw "Pawn sacrifice" and " Fischer Against the World". I was playing North Zone University event and my friend asked me to show the movie Pawn Sacrifice. I showed him and he watched it and when it was in the very end. I left the room and it was night and I was on street crying.
I only analised his few games like Game of the Century but I dont know I am very connected with him and his attitude. I do studied 18 hours a day in order to get a level of 1600 in just 2 month from beginner.
I just love him. I miss him.
He is my idol. He inspired me to study whole day.
The interesting this about me I am emotional but I dont cry so easily. Even when someone die I don't feel tears. For example when my grandmaa died I did not felt cry but when I think of him I feel cry. Because the first game video I saw was him and he was playing Suzen (Bc4 setup f4 f5 plans I think) against Najdrof.
For me if I see any chess player die no matter what's their age is. I just feel like cry.
I just dont wanna see any chess player die before the age of 100.

Hi Abhi
Nice post and great choice of favourite chess player and I have to agree with you! Fischer is my favourite chess player also.
I saw the other day, a comment from GM Bent Larsen, describing Fischer as not a good player, as many Russian GM's thought he played children in the USA! Pretty arrogant of them....
Larsen thought he and the Russians would beat him! Well, Larsen lost 0-6 to Fischer and Fischer beat Spassky to be World chess champion.
So, he is my favourite chess player, although he appeared to lose his mind, sadly, after his retirement with several strange views and opinions on chess and other life issues even. It was though, very odd and bad, how the US government had treated him. He was directly responsible for an upsurge of chess play all over the world in his hey day and especially in the West. He leaves an awesome chess legacy even in today's modern chess world, as good players appreciate his games and tournament records. Nice one Bobby!
Any new members? Do you like Fischer?
Fischer is the greatest genius to descend from the chess heavens. (Mikhail Tal)
Agree, Fischer is my number one, followed by Morphy, who had a similar life. unfortunately.
And do not exaggerate mate, you have already become way better, take your time
My favourite player is Karpov and then Kramnik. I think they do not need to be introduced ;-)
My favourite is Mikhail Tal followed by Nezhmetdinov. Two great sacrificing attackers!
I do support Vachier-Lagrave because of his dynamic style. Now A favourite player. All players from whom i learn including me! I actually cannot say because it keeps changing. But I was inspired by reading the story of how Tigran Petrosian and Boris Spassky worked hard.
Kramnik! Too bad he stopped playing classical games.

Chessmood openings in top level
I always have a doubt. Why are Chessmood openings not seen at top level? Because Chessmood openings are great
Replies
Kindly reply to my ques. Thanks
Have you already answered to yourself what kind of repertoire you would expect being a PRO-Member?
I was certainly not expecting a repertoire based on current top level play when I joined last October.
I do like active play with both colours so ChessMood's repertoire for black is a perfect match (and for white, too).
This approach helps you to develop your attacking skills (and for defence you will find a great course, too). I think that piece activity is a very important skill to develop. It is a kind of basis for further skills (the game's idea is to checkmate your opponent and not to jointly perform a positional play).
And I (FIDE ELO around 2000) have no problems with this repertoire against opponents of my rage in OTB. I rarely play FM/IM.
And re Benko, yes there are some lines that are a bit harder for black. But you will find responses in the course and the streams and the PRO-forum. But trust me, this is much easier than staying up-to-date in the Grünfeld.
Thursday already, no theme tournament in events
Usual issue, would the schedule for the next few weeks be published please. It's probably too late for any openings tournament, so another middlegame one?

Thank you David for pointing this out. The Events page was dully updated.
Closed Tournament for ChessMood PRO Members
"How to Memorize Opening Variations" tournament for ChessMood PRO Members
Too late for any opening - well, we will need the complete repertoire for white (1. e4) and the black repertoire against 1. e4. And to make it a bit harder, we play it with reversed colours (black has begun the game with 1. e7-e5).
A small detail/concept check in Rossolimo
Recently, I played this following game against a ~2600 GM (90/30 time control). It started as 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 g6 4. Bc6 dc ... And now due to inexperience playing the white side of this variation, I continued with 5. h3. How should Black exploit this subtle inaccuracy(as played in the game)?
P.S. after 5~5.5 hrs and almost 90 moves of involuntary passive defense, my opponent gave up trying to win Rook gh against Rook g and gave draw. :p
Replies
Dear @Valdemar_Rasmussen, could you be so kind to include the pgn of the game?
The 5.h3 move-order allows the immediate 5...e5 followed by 6...f6 which has scored well for Black in practice. Having said that I should add that 5.h3 is a perfectly legitimate move-order which has been employed by many strong players, although it does give Black one or two more options as was indicated: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 g6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.h3 e5! 6.d3 f6!.
Hope that helps.
Anti-Sicilian with Nc3!? Part 2
In the Anti Sicilian Part 2 line many of my opponent played like this
1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. Bb5 g6 4. Bxc6 dxc6 or in the 4th move 4... bxc6. And i get better version of Rossolimo after d3 followed by f4 - Nf3 as coach Avetik said in the main course. But as i do not know how to play better Rossolimo with White is it possible to give me few idea here for further development or create a small video about this line in the course ?

Interesting pawn endgame I got in OTB rapid
Hello Chessmood,
Yesterday I played in OTB tournament, and here's an instructive pawn endgame I wanted to share. On the surface it looks equal and with little time I misjudged the winning idea and played h5, to which white could have made a draw. During this game I remembered Rubinstein's endgame with Kh3, having watched some classical endgames on this site and couple more examples, so they gave me the breakthrough idea. But it's interesting that first h5 with later g5 is only a draw with correct play from white, cause black runs out of tempi. Anyway, cheers!

French 3.Bd3 with 3...dxe4 and 5...c6 with Bd6 setup
Hello guys,
In rapid OTB game, I used recommended french 3.Bd3 line and game went
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Bd3 dxe4 4.Bxe4 Nf6 5.Bf3 c6 6.Ne2 Bd6 seems passive (cause Bc8 is locked) but at the same time solid, hard to crack setup for black. I played next 7.Nd2 with idea Nc4 (as it was similar idea in one of the videos) but didnt get much out of opening, as later black just played Bc7, Nbd7 and even had a chance to push e5.
So question, how best to setup white's pieces vs this black's play? Txs
Replies
Hi!
There is a similar line like this 1.e4 e4 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 de4 4.Ne4 Bd7!? known as Fortknox Variation here Black idea is Bc6 exchange the Bishop for the f3 knight and put the pawn on c6,Bishop on d6..
Here Black is solid. But this line has a problem White often gets with c4-b3-b4 trying to expand as much space as possibly..
There is a difference between two lines. One Black lacks from space advantage so He needs to exchange some pieces but in the line you mentioned c8 Bishop is the hindrance for a8 Rook which can come to c8. White can continue in the same fashion c4-a3-b4 Gain Space as much as possible Nbc3 comes Maybe we can trade Blacks good Bishop with Bf4 or simply go g3 Limiting the bishop and transposing to catalan type structure. I think After you play all these moves we need to improve the e2 knight only worst piece in Whites camp.
I hope it helps... Regards.
hey Paulisu. I think would be smart if white plays with Nge2 later on Bf4 trying to trade it off, also I think Knight can be placed well on c4 square to prevent e5.
Great tips, txs guys. Another question about this position: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Bd3 b6 - looks weird move but french idea to exchange bishop via a6. Here's example game I played https://lichess.org/d5wIinOFZStM , but I dont think i got much from the opening.
I think should have played 3.Nf3 and now 3..Ba6 doesnt quite work 4.Bxa6 Nxa6 5.exd5 gives white substantial edge according to stockfish 12, because of the weakened squares and lack of dev for black.
Any other thoughts how to handle 3..b6?
What is the difference?
https://chessmood.com/course/classical-chess-endgames/episode/2734 2min 1sec in the video. What is the difference between Bf1 and Bb7 here? Don't they both attack the pawn and make black play a5? Is there some tactical refutation?
Replies
See the point of going Bf1 is not just to attack the a6-pawn.
White also wants to IMPROVE THE BISHOP's postion.
So after 1.Bf1! a5 2.Bc4, White managed to get their Bishop to an active square c4 -square.
On the other hand, after 1.Bb7 a5, White's bishop looks a little silly on b7. Sure it attacked a6, but what else is it doing on b7?
In this case, White will again have to reroute the bishop with 2.Ba6 and 3.Bc4 wasting another useful tempo.
That's why 1.Bf1 is better than 1.Bb7.
The goal is to give the bishop a better job while using the fact that a6 is undefended. :)

Tournament didn't go well :(
Hello, today I had quite an important tournament, but I didn't do very well. I prepared quite well for the tournament, but when I was playing I got into winning positions and blundered it away, or missed tactics for my opponent. When I was training however, I made none of these misttakes. Is there any reason for this? What can I do for my next tournament?
Thank you..
Replies
You need to understand what was different and the sorts of blunders made. Was it just you weren't in the same frame of mind, there was ego attached (you needed to win, it was important), over-confidence, tiredness...
What sort of blunders, did you just not evaluate right, blindness, over focus, overlooking distant long reaching pieces, forks, pins, loose pieces...
Also what is your rating?
Some of the problems will go with more experience, but part of it is understanding when you blunder and trying to get back to the right frame of mind.
Anti Sicilian Part 2 Nc6 5... e6 6.... Qa5+
After 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nd4 4. Nf3 Nxb5 5. Nxb5 e6 is marked as ?! because of the hole on d6. However after 6. d4, then Qa5+ 7. Nc3 (forced) b5 intending b4. Certainly not as good as the outcomes after 6... cxd4 or 6... a6
Suggestions here, is 6. d4 really playable?
Replies
In this position, after b5, you castle. This is how I see it: The engine evaluation says it's equal. Who cares? In this concrete case, White already has developed 2 pieces, castled and acquired control of the center. Black still has to develop the King side pieces, castle and on move 7 Black only moved the Queen to a5... I you think that this is playable for Black OTB, just try a few sparring games against the computer or better still a friend OTB of the same level or 200 points more and you will see it for yourself... Advantage in development fades but is one of the most decisive weapons when played correctly David.
Having a good repertoire is not about getting a +0.8 or +1.2 after every line. Is about feeling comfortable with the positions and having a clear path ahead, with some notions of the plan to follow. If you fail the first time, you analize the game, work a better way for the next time and try to remember the idea. Plus we all make blunders, get in time trouble, etc. This is what we need to focus on I think...
The issue with Qa5 and b5-b4 is to slow, we just cattle than after b4 can go Ne2 sometimes to g3, we can but bishop on b2 via b3 or try to prepare A3 and get weakened a6 pawn, depends on opponents reaction. Overall black loses to much time.

Is learning chess like learning a language?
The parallels between the two have been done to death in articles, but if the process is the same thing you could take an article on learning language and apply it to learning chess.
Take this article that I got on my browser homepage:
https://getpocket.com/explore/item/advice-on-learning-a-new-language-from-people-who-speak-up-to-16?utm_source=pocket-newtab
Change speak, speak, speak to play, play, play
Change grammar to move sequences and vocabulary to learning plans and ideas
Change native speakers to players better than yourself
Now read the article in the context of improving at chess.
Note that in this week's theme tournament I felt I was playing better and being able to play more fluently under time pressure. My secret? I have been playing 3 x 15 0 games each day this week (one morning, one at lunch, one in the evening) which is the only difference.

I think Chess is like learning a language where you face difficulties and meet dead ends but with practice you can accomplish the goal.
And "Grammarly" or other AI is the Stockfish when it comes to learning a language :-)
Dvoretsky for me????
I am rated 1465
Coach, is it okay if I do Dvoretsky Endgame Manual?
I saw some pages in the start and looked simple but the end is complex
Should I start?
And also for what level is this book designed and how much advantage will lower rated players get from this book
Some 2200 internet coaches and super GM's recommend Dvoretsky without knowing player's level
Should I trust them?
Replies
Good, but advanced and probably unnecessary vs other sources until 2200+
Basic technical endgames supplemented with some practical ones are more than enough IMO until your middlegame is mostly mistake free and it usually comes down to technical accuracy to the result rather than blunder or wrong plan in the middlegame.
Hi Abhi,
I would suggest a combination of the ChessMood Courses with the app "Total Chess Endgames (1600-2400) by Chess King. The has the same user interface like the more known CT-Art for tactics that had been recommend by ChessMood if I remember correctly.
My way of study is as follows:
I watch the video, pause, think and than create a pgn-file with the examples for later repetition.
Than I solve puzzles with the app and bookmark mistakes for later repetition.
At the moment I am working on knight vs pawns, to topic of the next closed tournament.

Hey Abhi,
Bit difficult to say honestly. I know his books are perfect. I will advise to try, and if you find out it too difficult to go back once you get stronger.
I’m 1925 online, it can be hard at times but very fun and helpful, I recommend it!
Hey! I would say you check it out once you reach around 1700 and also if you feel confident in the middle game and opening then you should definitely try it. Good Luck!
