In a chess game, when an opponent is attacking, weaker players will usually ONLY think about defense. Strong players understand that you should notmake defensive moves automatically. Very often you will have something morepowerful to play and you should look for it.

So, if you are asked this question: How to defend against a strong attack? The best way is “COUNTER ATTACK”. Many strong grandmasters look for counter attacks at the first instance and only then think about defending the position. You must always look for the active and the best.

NOTE: This is just a small part of the webinar.
