Training System by the World's Leading Chess Trainer - Mark Dvoretsky

Mark Dvoretsky is renowned globally as the preeminent chess trainer. His students have clinched numerous World and European youth championships and later achieved Grandmaster titles. Notable among them are Artur Yusupov, Nana Aleksandria, Sergey Dolmatov, and Aleksey Dreev, who have participated in candidates' matches for the world championship. A significant factor in the success of many Soviet Grandmasters can be attributed to Dvoretsky's effective training methods and his unique exercise cardfile. This resource includes a vast array of highly instructive positional exercises and others designed to enhance the skills essential for practical play, such as optimal searching and decision-making. These exercises aid in developing positional intuition, imagination, calculation skills, trap-setting, and strategic piece exchanges.
