#OnThisDay was born Ivan Sokolov. Today, we know him as a formidable chess trainer and world-class author.
But never forget that he was also a formidable player.
Here is one of @GMSokolovIvan's most famous victories:
"Calculation is meaningless if you don't know how to evaluate the resulting position."
In this week's video, GM Eugene Perelshteyn shares how he decodes chess positions.

Summer should be for chilling, but @chessable had a better idea and called it "chess chilling."
A massive summer sale until 17th of June of a huge amount of excellent courses. Don't miss this one out, folks, you can chill and study chess all summer!
Hey!

Chess was invented a long time ago but it wasn't fun until the King's Indian Defense emerged.
That's how FM Kamil Plichta feels about his favorite opening.
In this week's video Kamil shares the history and some of the most spectacular games in the KID.
