Strong squares, Weak squares & Outpost
Identification, Exploitation, Defense
You’ve likely realized that precision in calculation alone is not enough.
Even in complex positions, the ability to evaluate the resulting position is one of the essential skills of an advanced chess player.
In the parameters of evaluation, recognizing the quality of squares across the board plays an important role. Proper understanding of the squares is crucial, as it largely determines who has the advantage, whether your plans or the opponent’s will be more effective, and the quality of the pieces in play.
So, how can one grasp the value of squares in order to evaluate the position on the chessboard effectively?
This study begins with definitions of different types of squares—strong, weak, and outpost squares.
Then, we learn the stages of exploiting or resisting actions related to these squares, with clear examples provided.
Advantages of the Book:
a) Clear definitions that enable you to identify and understand different types of squares.
b) Detailed presentation of the stages of exploitation or resistance against actions that take place on these squares.
c) Examples that allow for a thorough understanding of these concepts.
