Join me on this chess journey to improve our chess as we study chess together. I will study chess tactics, as well as chess strategy learning from Ludek Pachman's masterpiece, "Complete Chess Strategy", and studying endgames from Mark Dvoretsky in his magnum opus, "Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual".

I share my spontaneous comments and impressions as I work through it all, including live recorded failures and successes as I work the exercises. You are invited to study the same material at the same time, or to just put the video on while you study chess on your own, and I study alongside you.

Let's take our chess to the next level!

In this video, we finish chapter 2 on blockades by Ludek Pachman with great games by Aron Nimzowitsch as well as an amazing game by Carl Schlechter who strangles his illustrious opponent, Dawid Janowski.
