I think a middle game training would help. The openings can always be learn through the internet and books. The middlegame is the main separation between master rated 2000 and juniors like us.
Reasses your Chess is a decent book for that.
When is the lecture going to start?

I would love to see a thread, where someone posts an equal position, not a tactical position and then one side goes on to win and shows how they did that and what planned they followed etc...
I've seen Capa do this and it's brillant. I did my guess a move on 1 game of his like that and it went pretty well.
Something like this: Middle game, both sides have castled, pretty equal.

Originally posted by jvanhineWell convention says that if it doesn't say whose move it is it's white's.
Bf4.. would be my move..thats a tough one though.... im sure theres something else to better your position..
In that case Re1 would be my move.
Maybe Be3, Bf4 or perhaps even Nb4, opening the light-square diagonal for Be2 & double-attacking d5. These are all good candidate moves.
If it's black turn Nc6 looks about right to me.

I just posted that as a sample of what kind of positions I was talking about.

I mean whoever is doing the lecture should go over a position like that and show us some top games and how the top players won.
Or what about:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.0-0
Had a lot of OTB games and blitz ones like this.
