Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol. 7 | Sokolov, Ivan

Many young top-players are opting for the trendy 'Dynamic Catalan' where, against the triangle or semi-slav structures, White can sacrifice a pawn to gain immediate initiative. This sacrifice can lead to long term positional advantage, but often White can unleash dangerous threats upon the black king with a central pawn break. Many games will become attacking adventures for White, with various opportunities to sacrifice material and create stunning threats. The 'Dynamic Catalan' can be your choice of opening - if you are willing to take the game into your own hands from the very beginning; and with this video course, you will add a sharp weapon to your repertoire. The author GM Ivan Sokolov has been on the white side of the 'Dynamic Catalan' in many top-level games, against players such as Caruana and Vallejo Pons, and 'felt comfortable playing it: space, initiative, safe king.' .
