How did Grandmaster Vladimir Kramnik do it?
He knew when to “do nothing.”
A Chessable Course Like No Other
In his debut course, Vladimir Kramnik is presenting a chess course unlike any other on Chessable. You won’t learn the latest opening theory or endgame technique here, or learn how to execute a sharp, tactical mating attack.
You’ll learn how to come up with the most difficult moves in chess: “the quiet moves.”
In this course, GM Kramnik covers the finer points of strategic play and grandmaster decision-making processes. Throughout 10 chapters and 162 trainable variations, you’ll apply GM Kramnik’s Three Questions Method to solve complex middlegame positions.
There won’t be any forcing tactical sequences or immediate threats for you to find. Instead, GM Kramnik will challenge you to devise and execute a plan or prevent your opponent’s plan (and in many cases, simultaneously!). Many of these “quiet moves”, as he calls them, are extremely subtle prophylactic ideas or meticulous positional improvements, but are the key to winning the game.
