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

Mark Dvoretsky is renowned as the world's leading chess trainer. His pupils, including Artur Yusupov, Nana Aleksandria, Sergey Dolmatov, and Aleksey Dreev, have achieved remarkable success, winning World and European youth championships and later earning Grandmaster titles. Many even competed in candidates' matches for the world championship. A significant factor in the success of these Soviet Grandmasters was Dvoretsky's highly effective training method, which included his unique exercise cardfile. This cardfile features numerous instructive positional exercises and others designed to enhance practical skills such as optimal searching and decision-making. These exercises are crucial for developing positional sense, imagination, calculation techniques, setting traps, and executing favorable piece exchanges at critical moments.

Previously accessible only to a select group of Dvoretsky's students, this cardfile has now been digitized, categorized, and verified for public use. This makes it available to all aspiring chess players, especially those at advanced levels from experts to grandmasters. The computerized system introduces modern training methods that were previously unavailable or limited to direct coaching sessions. This system offers top-tier material that can serve chess players and teachers for years, helping them to significantly enhance their playing skills. The course includes 200 meticulously chosen exercises for expert, master, and advanced players (ELO 2000 – 2400) covering key chess themes such as Strategy and Plan, Calculation of Variations, Endgame Technique, and Defending Inferior Positions.
