Training System by the World's Leading Chess Trainer - Mark Dvoretsky

Mark Dvoretsky is renowned as the world's leading chess trainer. His students, including Artur Yusupov, Nana Aleksandria, Sergey Dolmatov, and Aleksey Dreev, have not only won World and European youth championships but also achieved Grandmaster titles and competed in candidates' matches for the world championship. A significant factor in the success of many Soviet Grandmasters can be attributed to Dvoretsky's effective training methods and his unique exercise cardfile. This cardfile includes a variety of highly instructive positional exercises and others aimed at developing essential skills for practical play, such as optimal searching and decision-making. These exercises enhance positional understanding, imagination, calculation skills, trap-setting, and favorable piece exchanges at critical moments.

Previously exclusive to his select pupils, Dvoretsky's cardfile is now accessible to all aspiring chess players, thanks to extensive efforts in computerization, classification, and verification.
