This is a video promoting the RCA chess course “Mastering the Middlegame in Kasparov’s Style” by IM Asaf Givon. Garry Kasparov is one of the best players in the world, or probably the best. He dominated in chess for many years, as world chess champion and in the top tournaments. It is important for every chess player to learn from the games of such an elite player to take their chess skill to next level.

In this course, we tried to analyze Kasparov’s middlegame techniques (including positional pawn sacrifices, prophylaxis, etc.) and explain them with simple words to ambitious chess players, so anyone can incorporate those ideas in his/her own games. More specifically you’ll learn how to fight for the initiative, what the exchange sacrifice is and when to make it, how to sacrifice your pawns successfully and many more.
