Most chess fans believe
that knowledge of the opening, middlegame and endgame is what separates
Grandmasters from everyone else. While all of these are important, the
truth is much more profound: Top players all have a deep insight into how
to think about chess in ways that most players have never heard of. On
this DVD, Maurice Ashley reveals a simple idea that will forever change
the way that you see chess. He shares the secret he discovered on his path
to the Grandmaster title, a secret that every player must understand in
order to reach the highest level. Introducing his new term “Drawback
Chess“, he shows that chess is often not about looking for a winning move,
but more about searching to find the flaws hidden deep inside your
opponent‘s moves. With instructive examples and engaging practice
positions, all explained with a clarity that anyone can understand,
Maurice opens the door to a grandmaster‘s thinking process that will put
you on the path to real chess improvement. Video running time: 4 hours
