In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov will teach you middlegame strategy. A lot of the chess players ask this question: “What to do in the early middlegame stage, right after the opening?”
It is more or less clear what needs to be done in the opening stage of a chess game – you have to develop your central pawns, develop your knights, develop your bishops, and then castle your king. But what to do after that? What should be your middlegame plan?
That is exactly what you will learn from GM Igor Smirnov in this video lesson. He will give you step-by-step instructions that will help you understand the middlegame strategy and planning.
There are a lot of chess videos, books, and courses out there that teach you how to play different openings, endgame theories, tactical puzzles, etc. But most of them don’t teach you the most fundamental things you should know to improve your chess skills. This video teaches you just that!

Thank you
Really great video thank yoy
Amazing
Thank you. I just signed up for your free masterclass. I've been stuck in the 1700's (Elo) for too long and struggle in the middle game. I seem to be blind to my opponent's candidate moves, and even my own!
thanks
Well, develop your queen and rooks are still tips of opening, not middle game.
Simple but powerful and immensely helpful. Thank you!
I’m sacrificing that black bishop
"White is really confused."
Yes. I am…
Amazing vid
Thanks! I’ve found when playing the computer my opening structure seems far superior but I’m always dominated in middle game. There are some good tips here.
Why u put ur pawn to risk on center pawn..
If the center the most important to control

Loool thanks to you i can play with some intense aggrassive-ness😂 no hate, your accent is great, the way you say “bushup” makes me chuckle too 😅 thank u for the advice, new to chess and its definitely starting to feel more natural now that im about 25-50 games in
Is it normal in chess for majority of wins to turn out in stalemate (as in all opponents r dead except the king resulting in an infinite game) or am i just a noob?😅
Most instructive Video for myself. Thank you!
I just played this exact open
Great video
Everything in this video makes sense but after trying to implement some ideas I dropped from 801 into the 500s.
great lesson about the middlegame strategy and attacking approaches.
Great video as always.
