I've been looking into IM Yaacov Norowitz's "Dacha" style of chess. He "builds a home" with pawn "bricks", and then moves his pieces on the opposite color of the pawn structure. Yes, pretty standard; however, then he dives into new territory with his concept of "color money." Basically, after a piece imbalance on the board, you determine the square color to "invest" in -- which color becomes more valuable. You trade and attack, accordingly. He has an academy online, with free stuff (tactics and videos). I'm curious what you all think. BTW, he's a world blitz leader -- beating top GMs quite regularly here on chess.com. Incredibly interesting. And yes, I know, not where I should be focusing with my current rating. Nonetheless, I'm curious what y'all think.
