In this week's workshop, we're going to do:
* Marshall Attack -- a fierce weapon for black forcing even top grandmasters to avoid it using anti-Marshall systems; classically played by Boris Spassky & John Nunn while modern adoption by Michael Adams and especially Levon Aronian still remains at elite level.
* Beautiful Combinations of Middlegame
* Pawn Endgames 

<h2>*1.Opening:*</h2>

These ideas are must have patterns in your mind for understanding and ultimately playing better chess.

<h3>*Solving the positions:*</h3>
Try to solve these positions by
1. Evaluating the position, finding who's better i.e white or black.
2. Studying the positions one by one, without rushing.
3. Calculating different variations no less than 5 minutes each position, for better understanding.
