Every chess player who wants to improve their level must study systematically and understand the basic principles governing the opening, middlegame, and endgame.
Most chess players place greater emphasis on opening theory. This is because it is easier to learn and can yield immediate results. However, these results often arise primarily from the opponent's ignorance rather than from our own skills. Even chess coaches tend to prefer teaching variations from different openings or simply tactical patterns. The reason is that it requires more effort to analyze the middlegame and endgame.
Nevertheless, the theory of the middlegame and endgame is equally important. The difficulty lies in the fact that there are no absolute rules. It requires deep research into the ideas and logic of positions. Furthermore, unlike the opening, the theory of the middlegame and endgame does not change frequently with modern developments. It remains almost unchanged over time.
Therefore, anyone who wants to become a better chess player must change their approach. It is essential to understand the theory of the middlegame and endgame, so they can progress correctly after the opening they have chosen.
This course aims to present advanced training concepts, using the same methods that great chess players and many famous coaches have taught.
