Description

Join us for this upcoming session of NM Daniel Cremisi's popular Game Analysis Series. In addition to Daniel's master analysis of tournament games from participants, in this session we dive into one of the most satisfying, or frustrating, techniques in chess: swindling. While classical principles teach us to avoid "hope chess" and rely on sound play, we all know that real games are messy and players make mistakes. Time pressure hits, players miss tactics, and suddenly that lost position still has life if you know where to look. So, turn that loss into a draw, squeeze water from the metaphorical stone, and utilize your resources in this upcoming class with NM Daniel Cremisi.

Perfect for: club players, tournament competitors, and anyone looking to turn those losses into draws and draws into victories!

Join us and learn how to play practical hope chess from as Master!

 

This class will run for six sessions on the following dates: 5/3, 5/10, 5/17, 5/24, 5/31, and 6/7.

All sessions will be held virtually via Zoom. Class will be recorded and shared with the participants.
