Practical Chess Notebooks 3:
 Strategy Problems Strategy is the art of concept and planning, but also the philosophy of the game, the visualization of structures in conflict. Chapter 5 of the School of Chess deals with strategic notions, and a section of Chapter 9 deals with the strategic foundations of openings. In "School of Chess 2", Chapters 3 and 4 study, respectively, the structure of pawns and strategic keys. In addition, Chapter 6 has important strategic content in Sections 1 (How to interpret the position) and 2 (Evaluation and analysis). Strategic themes, both classical and modern, deal with those elements that play a fundamental role in the interpretation of the game, although they are not always presented in isolation, but rather in an interconnected way. The exercises in this Workbook include positions in which the open file, the outpost, the passed pawn or spatial dominance, among others, play an important role. You will also find positions with a rook on the seventh, a theme that often has tactical behavior. Chapter 8 includes 32 exercises covering a variety of topics. To progress in chess, there is only one formula: play as many tournaments as possible, along with theoretical study and analysis of your own games. The ideal complement to this formula, as many Grandmasters recommend, is for the player to develop and perfect his tactical and strategic skills by solving numerous exercises, specially selected for their usefulness. Like the ones we offer you here.
