Senior Master Denys Shmelov is one of the strongest players in the area, winning the Massachusetts State title in 2008. His 2500+ rating puts him safely in the top 100 ranked players in the United States. He is also a regular and former all-star on the Boston Blitz, and he recently earned a GM-norm at the 2011 Berkeley International. His lecture will cover the important topic of prophylaxis, providing examples of quiet defensive moves that clamp down on the opponent’s counterplay before pressing a more ambitious attack.
