Introduction
Grandmaster and world class teacher Artur Jussupow is introduced by co-host Jan Gustafsson before going on to tell us what we can expect from this series.
Suppressing counterplay – Part 1
The first principle we have to master is the art of not giving our opponent any chances. There’s no-one better to learn from than Anatoly Karpov, so let’s take a look at the game Spassky-Karpov, Montreal 1979.
Suppressing counterplay – Part 2
We continue our studies with one of Artur’s own games, Gislason-Jussupow, 2012.
Suppressing counterplay – Part 3
This time we look at an even more recent example, the game Kotter-Jussupow, played in 2016.
Two weaknesses Jussupow-Wirthensohn
Everyone has heard of the principle of two weaknesses, but how do we create them? What are weaknesses? And why 2? Many questions, investigated via the game Jussupow-Wirthensohn, Hamburg 1991.
Don’t hurry
We take a look at Jussupow-Lautier, 1994, a game that illustrates the importance of patience if you want to become a good technical player.
The right exchanges
Knowing which pieces to exchange and which to keep on the board is a very difficult skill to master. We tackle it by looking at Jussupow-Spraggett, 1989.
Good technique Carlsen-Karjakin
We look at an example from the 2016 World Championship match that shows both great technique by Carlsen as well as very stubborn defence by Karjakin.
Good-technique – Part 2
Its time to check out an example by the godfather of modern good technique, Jose Raul Capablanca.
