How to Identify & Attack the Soft Spots in Your Opponent’s Position

In chess, victories often come not from one brilliant tactic but from gradually strangling your opponent’s position by exploiting their weaknesses. In Exploiting Weaknesses, IM Cyrus Lakdawala breaks down how to spot, create and capitalize on vulnerabilities – whether in pawn structures, weak squares, impaired piece coordination or exposed kings. 


This practical guide translates high‑level strategic ideas into club‑player friendly lessons, giving you the tools to press for an advantage thoughtfully and reliably.

🧠 What You’ll Learn

  • How to recognize various kinds of weaknesses – pawns, pieces, files, colour‑complexes.

  • Systems to create weaknesses in your opponent’s camp when none are obvious.

  • Practical methods to convert weaknesses into winning chances, rather than just holding on.

  • Real‑game examples, explained clearly, showing how small flaws can lead to big wins.

🎯 Recommended Skill Levels

  • Intermediate club players (approx. Elo 1400‑2000) who already grasp basic tactics and want to level up their strategy.

  • Advanced amateurs (up to ~2200 Elo) seeking deeper positional tools beyond tactics.

  • Coaches & serious students who want a resource to teach or study weakness‑exploitation in chess.
