[FREE] The secret of Morphy’s magic 🎩 revealed!

People always say, if you’re growing disillusioned with chess and need to reignite that spark, play over the games of Paul Morphy!

The American genius burst on to the scene in the 19th century, destroyed everyone by massive winning margins – often with beautiful miniatures… then quit.

150 years later, every World Champion has marveled at and praised his brilliance.

And, today, you get to learn the techniques behind Morphy’s mastery with an awesome 1 hour training from GM Axel Delorme!

“In a set match, Morphy would beat anybody alive today. I’ve played over hundreds of his games and am continually surprised and entertained by his ingenuity.” Bobby Fischer, 1963.

Here’s what to expect:

  • The Opera House secret. Burn your opening books and play like Paul! Morphy’s pieces glide across the board as he sacrifices 3 pieces before delivering mate on move 17. GM Delorme explains the one principle dictating Morphy’s every move in perhaps the most beautiful game in history!
  • Ingenious tactics. When you think like Morphy, not only do you get fantastically active positions, but tactical shots like 19…Ng3!! become obvious.
  • Open, attacking games. Bored of both sides developing on their half of the board until move 15? GM Delorme explains Morphy’s timeless techniques for opening up the position to your advantage.

Defective Pawns Structures in the Middlegame

The pawn structure is probably one the elements that we need to pay more attention to during our games. It defines the character of the play, the direction of our attacks and the plans we have to make.

Pawn structures are the foundations that keep a position together. In this article, we are going to see a few middle game positions in which one side has a permanently ruined pawn configuration.

Needless to say that it is extremely difficult to defend in such situations.

There are no shortcuts in chess, but you can speed up your progress by copying the masters – and today’s free course will help you do just that!

5 Capablanca Positions That You Must Know : middle game positions chosen for their instructive content.

Knowing the classics is a basic part of every chess player’s general culture. In times where modern chess games, engine analysis, and engine spectacular matches occupy 98% of the attention, it is refreshing to look back in time and admire the greatness of the pioneers of our game. There are plenty of books written on the games by the classics such as Alekhine, Capablanca, Steinitz, etc.

However, there is a large number of players of young age who exclusively focus on opening theory and tactical skills, which, by the way, is enough to be a strong competitor.​​​​​​​

In this article, we have selected 5 positions that appeared in the games of the Cuban former World Champion that everyone must know and recognize anywhere, anytime. Our readers with experience will recognize them surely, while those who are new – well, sit back and enjoy.

The following diagrams are middle game positions chosen for their instructive content. We recommend that you look at each position first and think for a while on what you would play and then compare your moves with the ex-world champion’s choice.
