GM Alex Colovic
Description:
Grandmaster Alex Colovic was the first grandmaster author for Chessable and won Chessable’s 2021 Legend of the Year Award. He has won 18 national championships for his native Macedonia, in addition to representing his home country in three Chess Olympiads and two European Championships.
In this course, you will be guided through Capablanca’s most instructive endgames and the methods used in them, including:
♞The principle of two weaknesses- The art of creating a second weakness, leaving opponents helpless as they cannot manage both of them at the same time.
♞How to convert an advantage in the endgame, not by brute calculation, but by knowing where to best position your pieces. This will carry over into the rest of your game as you will learn how to improve your overall position.
♞Fine-tune your intuition in double-rook endgames and avoid expending energy on calculating everything and making mistakes.
♞Learn about piece activity and how to fight to create imbalances and win seemingly drawn endgames.
♞The key concept of prophylaxis when it comes to trading pieces, a notable aspect of all of Capablanca’s games. You will learn when to trade off superfluous pieces.
By studying these endgames, you will adopt Capablanca’s simple yet effective style instead of unnecessarily complicating things.
