This is the recorded video of RCA guest coach IM Valeri Lilov’s live stream on “Planning in Chess”. One of the most commonly asked questions by chess players is “How do I decide on the best PLAN in any given position?” In this stream, Lilov explains how to plan in different kinds of position – open and closed, how the pawn structure is important in planning, and so much more.

He also explains how to plan in different stages of the game, especially how you can lay the foundation for your middlegame plan in the opening stage itself. When it comes to planning, you have two specific goals to decide on. What are they? Watch the video and learn.
