ChessBase has unveiled its latest weekly Summer Special, presenting serious chess enthusiasts with a focused opportunity to acquire high-quality training materials at significant discounts. Running exclusively from July 7th to July 14th, this promotion highlights two distinct, yet equally valuable, bundles designed to elevate your game, whether your focus is strategic depth or building a reliable opening foundation.
Master the Middlegame: Ivan Sokolov`s Comprehensive Strategy Bundle
For players seeking a profound understanding of the strategic complexities that arise after the opening phase, the eleven-volume series “Understanding Middlegame Strategies” by Grandmaster Ivan Sokolov stands out. Sokolov, a former elite player himself, has transitioned successfully into a highly respected coach, famously leading the Uzbek national team to a gold medal at the 2by a gold medal at the 2022 Chess Olympiad in Chennai. His coaching acumen is distilled into this extensive work.
This comprehensive bundle is specifically tailored for experienced club and tournament players who are ready to delve deeply into advanced strategic concepts. It is widely regarded as one of the most thorough works available on the subject. Normally priced at €299.90, the complete eleven-volume collection is available this week for a special price of just €209.90. A substantial reduction for a truly substantial course.
Building a Solid and Effective 1.d4 Repertoire with Martin Breutigam
While Sokolov tackles the intricacies of the middlegame, International Master Martin Breutigam offers a practical solution for players looking to build a reliable and modern repertoire with the first move 1.d4. His two-volume course, “1.d4! – A Modern Repertoire,” is designed for those who wish to exert pressure from the outset without getting lost in the labyrinthine theoretical variations characteristic of many openings.
Breutigam`s approach is lauded for being clear and easy to understand, making it accessible for players who want a robust system that minimizes the need for constant theoretical updates. Volume one covers responses after 1…d5, while the second volume addresses the various Indian defenses and other less common replies. This two-volume bundle, normally priced at €69.90, is part of the Summer Special and can be acquired for only €49.90 this week.
Seize the Opportunity
Both offers present a timely opportunity for players serious about improvement. Whether you feel your strategic understanding needs fortification under the guidance of a top coach, or you`re searching for a reliable and practical opening repertoire with White, ChessBase`s current special provides compelling options. However, as with any such limited-time offer, prompt action is advised. The discounts expire on July 14th. The only strategic decision remaining is which area of your game demands immediate attention… or perhaps, which budget allocation makes the most sense this week.
