There is so much to say and teach that no single DVD could do it justice. From the outset Aagard makes it clear he is not trying to cover middlegame exhaustively. What he sets out to do (and does well) is cover a few basic topics, such as weak squares and positional play. He then presents a variety of positions and challenges the user to make the next move. For each one he then discusses what move was made and why. I found it all really helpful (I play ~1400 level), as my knowledge of chess is somewhat rudimentary. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/49524982-basic-positional-ideas-chess-training-software](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/49524982-basic-positional-ideas-chess-training-software) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
