80/20 Tactics Multiplier #07
The Trompowsky Attack – IM Levy Rozman
IM Levy Rozman’s course on the essential patterns in the Trompowsky Attack gives you a complete understanding of typical tactical and strategic patterns for both sides.
The Trompowsky Attack is a strategically and dynamically complex opening full of tactical possibilities.
Both sides have a multitude of tactical shots and ideas at their disposal thanks to the asymmetrical pawn structures and imbalances that occur.
It is a perfect opening for players who prefer to understand key strategic and tactical ideas rather than memorize an endless amount of theoretical variations.
The aim of this course is to investigate all the common variations which can arise from the Trompowsky Attack, to improve your understanding of the typical themes in the opening, as well as cementing that knowledge through the included quizzes featuring carefully selected test positions.
