Many times, when a top player blunders, it is routinely described by the esoteric term "chess blindness". In this chess middlegame strategy series, chess trainer and world class commentator Maurice Ashley strips away the myth and for the first time explains why the root of these mistakes is more often based in the psychology of human learning. In this DVD, the third volume of the three part series, Ashley completes his idea of Protected Squares from Volume 1, showing that squares seemingly guarded by pieces are often the breeding ground of amazing tactical oversights.

Even less-experienced chess players have learnt how to develop their pieces in the opening or even know certain opening variations by heart.
