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 championships in their youth and later earning Grandmaster titles. Many even participated in candidates' matches for the world championship. The secret behind the success of numerous Soviet Grandmasters can be attributed to Dvoretsky's effective chess training methods and his unique exercise cardfile. This cardfile contains a wealth of highly instructive positional exercises and tasks designed to enhance the skills essential for practical play, such as developing positional sense, imagination, calculation technique, and the ability to set traps or make favorable exchanges at critical moments.

Previously exclusive to his select pupils, Dvoretsky's cardfile has now been digitized, classified, and verified, making it accessible to all aspiring chess players. This resource is particularly beneficial for advanced players, ranging from experts to grandmasters. The computerized system introduces modern training methods that were previously unavailable or only accessible through direct coaching. It offers top-tier material that can serve chess players and teachers for years, significantly enhancing their playing level. The course includes 200 carefully selected 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.
