Thematic Chess Training: Book 3 - Strategy Problems

Strategy is the art of concept and planning, but it is also the philosophy of the game, the visualization of structures in struggle.
In Chess School, part of chapter 5 dealt with strategic notions, and a section of chapter 9 dealt with the strategic foundations of openings.
In Chess School 2, chapters 3 and 4 study pawn structure and strategic keys, respectively. In addition, chapter 6 has important strategic content in its sections 1 (How to interpret the position) and 2 (Evaluation and analysis). The strategic themes - both classic and current - deal with those elements that play a fundamental role in the interpretation of the game, although they are not always presented in isolation, but are usually presented in an inter-connected way. The exercises in this notebook include positions in which the open column, the outpost, the passed pawn, or the spatial domain, among others, play an important role. You'll also find positions with the rook on the seventh, a theme that often has a tactical behavior and, finally, Chapter 8 includes 32 exercises in which various themes appear.
Only one formula is known for progressing in chess: play as many games as possible, together with theoretical study and analysis of the games themselves. The ideal complement to this formula is, as many great masters recommend, for the player to develop and perfect their tactical and strategic skills by solving numerous exercises, specially selected for their usefulness. Like the ones we offer here.
