Pro-Coach IM Zlatanovic Reveals…
The Middlegame Manual that has Been Missing from 99% of Club Player’s Education
It’s always struck me as strange that nobody really shows you how to play the middlegame.
Sure, you pick up basic stuff like occupying the center, putting your pieces on open lines and so on. But what about the rest?
You know that the bishop pair is supposed to be an advantage, but how do you use it?
You know you need to push your plan forward while stopping your opponent’s ideas – but you only have one move, which do you prioritize?
And how do you balance pawn structure with activity, gaining space, attacking and defending?
There are 2 ways to learn these skills:
- Trial and error (which, unless you analyze positions as fast as Stockfish, will take you several lifetimes).
- Studying model games with an IM or GM coach.
If you haven’t had the time, money or access to do the second, here’s your chance.
Serbian IM Boroljub Zlatanovic has put together an incredible 10-hour course that reveals how to play the middlegame like a master.
IM Zlatanovic has hand-picked 26 of the most instructive master games of all-time, each one teaching one or more middlegame secrets you can start using right away.
Discover:
- Sicilian Special Forces. Learn how to harness the attacking potential of the Sicilian with a brilliant analysis of a classic. Discover how to deal with the d5 square, proper timing of Black’s pawn pushes and which Queen maneuver to unleash to bring White’s defenses crashing down!
- Incremental Advantage. Most players fall apart in quiet, queenless positions. Every move looks the same so they just play anything. This is where a little knowledge can go a long way. IM Zlatanovic breaks down a Karpov classic to show how to mercilessly convert positions
- The Bishop Blockade Method. Most people value bishops slightly higher than knights – which makes it easy for you to get the 2 knights vs. knight + bishop situation. That’s where the fun begins! Use Gligoric’s bishop blockade and watch your knights dominate!
This is the middlegame manual that has been missing from 99% of club player’s education.
