HowToChess 19 - GM Vladimir Kramnik on Questions to Ask Yourself When Its Your Move
Legendary former World Champion Vladimir Kramnik stops by to discuss 3 things to think about when its your move in a chess game. As GM Kramnik details in his Chessable course, Thinking in Chess, A How to Guide, it can be useful to use the following framework when its your move...
- Look for tactics (can i win material?)
- Is there a threat? (are pieces hanging?)
- What is the plan of your opponent? (What is she hoping to do next?)
ONLY then, you can ask yourself questions like, "what is my plan?" and "How can I improve my position?, etc.
Both of Vladmir Kramnik's courses are on sale through October 27. And both offer free chapters! Links below:
