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 highly instructive positional exercises and tasks designed to develop essential skills for practical play, such as positional understanding, imagination, calculation technique, setting traps, and favorable piece exchanges.

Previously exclusive to his select pupils, Dvoretsky's cardfile has been digitized, classified, and verified, making it accessible to all aspiring chess players.
