Training system by M Dvoretsky

A training system designed by the world's leading chess trainer, Mark Dvoretsky

Mark Dvoretsky is renowned as the world's top chess trainer. Many of his students have clinched World and European championships in their youth and later earned Grandmaster titles. Notable pupils like Artur Yusupov, Nana Aleksandria, Sergey Dolmatov, and Aleksey Dreev even competed in candidates' matches for the world championship. To a large extent, the success of numerous Soviet Grandmasters can be credited to Dvoretsky's effective chess training methodology and his unique catalog of exercises. These include highly instructive positional drills and exercises aimed at honing the skills essential for competitive players—such as optimizing search techniques and making sound decisions. For instance, these exercises help develop positional intuition, imaginative thinking, calculation accuracy, tactical trap-setting, and timely, advantageous piece exchanges. Until recently, this exclusive exercise collection was accessible only to a select group of his students. Now, after extensive digitalization, categorization, and verification of the material, every ambitious chess player can benefit from it. It is especially valuable for advanced players, from experts to grandmasters. The computerized system unlocks modern training techniques that were either unavailable before or could only be used under a coach's direct supervision. This resource will supply chess players and teachers with top-tier material for years to come, significantly elevating their playing strength. This course features 200 expert-curated exercises for players rated between ELO 2000 and 2400, covering essential chess topics: Strategy and Planning, Calculation of Variations, Endgame Technique, and Defending Inferior Positions.
