    Weird how I can see brilliant moves in grandmaster games and not see blunders in my own

    Middlegame Plans, named after Grandmaster Plans, are a very important part of the game.

    Ben, This video has been the only way to truly understand middlegames better. I’ve tried books and other videos and they just haven’t done me justice like this video. I appreciate all of the breakdowns, fun comedic moments and your level of detail on key ideas in complex middlegame positions for someone who’s beginner to intermediate. Will definitely be watching a lot more of your content! Thanks
