This DVD looks at ‘Positional Play’ things like voluntarily giving up ‘The Bishop Pair’, How to attack doubled ‘C’ pawns, Placing Rooks deliberately on Closed files, The IQP advantages and disadvantages and many more Positional Play methods.

In this long exclusive excerpt of the ‘Positional Play’ DVD from ‘The Club Player’s Manifesto’ By GM Damian Lemos we see the Grandmaster clearly explain the following points from the game Petrosian-Korchnoi:

1. 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 as an alternative to 2.c4
2. QGD / Bogo Indian / QGA / Queen’s Indian considered
3. QGD Tarrasch examined in detail
4. IQP situation arising after dxc5 considered
5. Strong Center versus attempts to undermine it
6. Correct Bishop development when it has multiple choices
7. Don’t have to exchange Central pawns simply play e5 and use it to attack
8. A collection of small Positional Advantages are no good if opponent can realistically launch a strong attack versus your own King
9. Passed IQP advantages and disadvantages
10. Good piece activity creates other transformational advantages
11. Temporary Piece Sacrifices to gain Positional Advantage
12. Using the Advanced IQP to tie down opponent
13. The Advanced IQP enables advantages elsewhere
14. It’s Okay to advance your own King’s Pawn Cover when opponent is tied down
15. Good technique in the middle game with more space
