And you are NOT one of them. Botvinnik was in the same shoes. He relied on strategy, rather than raw calculation to win all his games.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Black Pieces Paradox<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Most players are better with White pieces. Botvinnik won more games with Black. How? This is what you will learn from this course.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u2018Universal\u2019 Player<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Some players are pure attackers\u2026 Tal or Fischer. Some are pure defenders, like Petrosian. Botvinnik combined the best of both worlds, being a 50\/50 attacker and defender allowed him to remain at the top for a very long time. In this course, you\u2019ll learn how to adjust your playing style.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Attacking Chess for non-Attackers<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Although Botvinnik wasn\u2019t an all-out attacking player, he won many beautiful games involving tactics &amp; sacrifices. Today you will learn how he did that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those are just a few things you will learn from this excellent training.<\/p>\n<p>If you are tired of working on your games, and not seeing any measurable results, Botvinnik\u2019s Training is what you need.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/videoapi-muybridge.vimeocdn.com\/animated-thumbnails\/image\/973ccce8-ab5b-4717-b78c-9d083dd43404.gif?ClientID=sulu&amp;Date=1719247934&amp;Signature=6afbbbf365ba8ddae97ee0f27af68a0f5fbe4c82\" width=\"479\" height=\"261\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>About the Author:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>IM Boroljub Zlatanovic [2438 FIDE]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>is an International Master and a professional chess coach from Serbia.
