Prophylaxis Masterclass with IM Valeri Lilov
When I was younger I could never get my head around how the masters played so precisely.
It seemed like they almost foresaw all my moves.
I worked on tactics, chess strategy, and positional chess but there was something MAJOR missing, preventing me from playing much better.
And that missing piece was… Chess PROPHYLAXIS.
Prophylactic thinking is the habit of constantly asking yourself “what does my opponent want to do?” and the ability to find a good reply that prevents the opponent from carrying out that plan.
Right now, there are thousands of chess players out there who have no idea how much they are being held BACK by having poor prophylactic skills.
It’s sad but true. Think about it this way:
Chess prophylaxis is the art & science of preventing your opponents’ threats.
It is a fundamental skill that is equally important regardless of the level you’re at. Prophylaxis is like dribbling in basketball. If you play the game, it is essential that you know how to dribble!
From stopping your opponent’s tactical ideas to cutting off his positional play, prophylaxis plays a HUGE role in every single move!
(And it improves your results. A lot.)
