In this volume, we dive into core aspects of chess technique. Smyslov taught the principle of tactical hierarchy, “checks, double attacks, and unprotected pieces”, and Mikhalchishin demonstrates how this method of calculation is vital.

Through instructive model games and structured video lessons, you’ll explore:

Precise Endgame Technique: Convert theoretical draws or winning positions with accurate play.

Sacrificing for Activity: Modern chess revolves around activity, so sacrificing a pawn is often justified.

Tactical Vigilance: Develop alertness to tactical opportunities by applying Smyslov’s principle.

Flank Pla: A long-standing rule of thumb is to play in the center when your opponent plays on the flank, and vice versa. While simple, it remains a valuable guiding principle.

Heavy Pieces: There is more to rooks than open files and the seventh rank, learn how to coordinate them and unlock their full potential.

Unusual Tactics: From destroyer moves to angled attacks, this chapter introduces surprising tactical motifs you may not have encountered before. Whether you’re a club player or an experienced tournament competitor, Master Your Technique Vol. 3 will help you build a solid technical foundation for your chess. This is the training your practical game has been waiting for.
