In his new video course, the French top grandmaster Romain Edouard shows you how to win games by seizing the initiative with sacrifices. The course consists of two volumes: In the first volume, Edouard demonstrates patterns, and in the second course you are invited to test your knowledge. All new courses can now also be watched via stream, e.g. on mobile devices!
Throughout this video course, we will study how to master sacrifices and the initiative in several aspects: opposite-coloured bishops, the bishop pair, the exchange sacrifice, launching an attack, and the good moment to sacrifice will be the topics covered in this first video course.
The goal will be to teach you how to take advantage of certain material imbalances and convert them into victories! Using real games, analysed and explained; some of them being genuine masterpieces, this video course will be the ideal tool to learn how to conclude a game due to your initiative. Enjoy each part, and soak it up for your next victories!
To improve in the vast terrain of initiative, there’s nothing better than training with well-chosen exercises! This interactive video course will guide you to find the winning move when the initiative is on your side, by such means as: paralysing your opponent, eliminating the opponent’s defender, punishing an unsafe king, finding the right moment to launch your attack, and concluding with a classic chapter where you should “find the killer move”!
These carefully chosen exercises will help you improve, and allow you to manage your initiative in the best way: “when, how, why?”
