In this week's workshop, we're going to do:
- Marshall Attack -- a fierce weapon for black forcing even top grandmasters to avoid it using anti-Marshall systems; classically played by Boris Spassky & John Nunn while modern adoption by Michael Adams and especially Levon Aronian still remains at elite level.
- Beautiful Combinations of Middlegame
- Pawn Endgames

2.Middle-game:
|
| Black to play If you were playing this position, what would be your evaluation of this position. Should you defend your king or do something else? lichess study link |
|
| White to play If you were playing this position, what would be your evaluation. How would you deliver a tactical blow, keeping in mind that you have material deficit?</p
|
3.End-game:
|
| White to Play If you were playing this position, what would be your evaluation. Can black win this position?</p
|
 |
| Black to play If you were playing this position, what would be your evaluation. Is this position draw?</p

These ideas are must have patterns in your mind for understanding and ultimately playing better chess.
Solving the positions:
Try to solve these positions by
- Evaluating the position, finding who's better i.e white or black.
- Studying the positions one by one, without rushing.
- Calculating different variations no less than 5 minutes each position, for better understanding.
