YOUR WINNING PLAN

The instruction for the practical part

After a study of the video lessons you have received a certain set of knowledge. Now it is necessary to put the received knowledge into practice. This
practical addition to the course will help you to do it.

The main purpose of this practical part is to develop your “strategic thinking”. Most of amateur players try to find the right move; all the strong
players think about a plan.
While analyzing the games of the practical part you should ALWAYS understand plans of both players. Thus when you analyze a game, you need to
answer 2 questions:

- WHEN (in what positions) it is necessary to compose a plan?

- WHAT is that plan?

Certainly you should use the recommendations from the video lessons to answer these questions. Also you will see how different strategic principles
(from the video lessons) work in different positions.

The practical part contains 12 tasks (they are presented in separate folders). The separate instruction is applied for each task. You should carry out all
the tasks consistently, following the corresponding instructions. Read the instruction first and then perform the task.

The notes:

· Often you will need to find the right move in a certain position and then you will look at the answer. While studying the answers I recommend you
to go over the whole presented game (not only the first move). These games are very instructive. You should analyze them and understand how
general ideas (from the video lessons) work in different practical positions.

· Your main task is to apply the strategic ideas from the video lessons and to develop your strategic thinking. That’s why there is no “right” or “wrong”
moves here.

· It is the most important to think in a right way and to develop your “strategic thinking” (not just to find the right move).

· You should think about the 1 position no more than 15 minutes.

· Remember that you should focus on the quality of your training, not on the quantity of the performed work.

· Do not use the computer engines during a performing of the tasks. You should think by yourself to train your skills.

· If something is not clear for you - learn once again a corresponding video lesson.

· The chess games are presented in *.pgn format. Any chess program can open it.

Now you should start performing the tasks:

1. Read an instruction (from this text file) for a certain task.
2. Go to the folder with chess games/tasks.
