In this video, IM Alex Astaneh is sharing with you the concept of weak squares. A weak square is a square, where one side has far greater control over that square than the other player. That difference in the level of control can mean that the side who has greater control is able to use it for his or her advantage. Alex will show you how weak squares can be identified and what needs to be considered about them.

Knowing the principle of weak squares will help you to improve your chess play and to find the right moves and squares.
