DANIEL KING:

Videolaufzeit: 4 Std. 15 min.

      ·         Fritztrainer DVD

·         Sprache: Deutsch (und Englisch) 

In seiner 9. Power-Play-DVD bespricht der englische Großmeister Daniel King das Thema Schwerfiguren gegen Leichtfiguren, in anderen Worten Stellungen mit dem Materialverhältnis Dame gegen Turm und Leichtfigur, Dame gegen Türme sowie Turm gegen Leichtfiguren, darunter Qualitätsopfer. Eine Dame oder ein Turm gleicht manchmal einem übermächtigen Giganten, der das ganze Schachbrett durchpflügt. Also: wie kann man sich am besten gegen eine Dame verteidigen? Oder wenn man mit einem Läufer gegen einen Turm kämpft: was sollte da die eigene Strategie sein? Unter anderem erörtert Daniel King auch die dynamischen Qualitätsopfer von Topalov. Diese unausgewogenen Materialverhältnisse kommen unglaublich häufig vor - also seien Sie gewappnet und diktieren Sie das Geschehen. Auf der ganzen DVD bieten Ihnen speziell ausgewählte Stellungen immer wieder Gelegenheit, Ihre Fachkenntnisse zum Thema zu testen. Die Power-Play-Serie eignet sich für jeden, der sein Schach verbessern möchte, bietet aber auch fix und fertige Lektionen und Übungen für Trainer. (Text ChessBase)

Davies, The closed sicilian - fritztrainer opening (ChessBase)

!
Nigel Davies

Video running time: 4.5 hours

·         Language: English

For players who lack either the time or inclination to study reams of opening theory the Closed Sicilian (1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 followed by 3.g3) is an excellent choice. The two great exponents of this method of play were World Champions Vassily Smyslov and Boris Spassky. These days it’s the top English Grandmasters Michael Adams and Nigel Short who are its leading exponents.

During the early stages White quietly builds sp,e strong central fortifications and gains space on the kingside. Despite the quiet appearance of this plan, in the middle game this can lead to a ferocious onslaught against Black’s king. On this DVD Nigel Davies introduces the viewer to the different strategies and variations through a series of instructive games. His presentation caters mainly for players who wish to play White, but he also points out the best methods of defence for Black. This makes it essential viewing for players wishing to play either colour.

Nigel Davies has been an International Grandmaster since 1993 and is a former British Open Quickplay and U21 Champion. He has had considerable experience in both the Scotch and in teaching club level players.

Davies, How to beat younger players - fritztrainer strategy (ChessBase)

!

Nigel Davies

·         Language: English

·         Running time: 3 hours

Chess is turning into a young man’s game. Time limits are faster, sessions last longer and computer databases and playing engines seem to dominate opening preparation.

Add the fact that older players often have jobs and families that take most of their time and it’s no surprise they suffer painful defeats at the hands of spotty youths. Nigel Davies is no stranger to this situation; a more mature Grandmaster who refuses to grow old with dignity he is still slugging it out with young players in tournaments and matches. On this DVD he argues that an older player with very little time can nonetheless remain competitive, but only if he uses guile and common sense rather than bluster and machismo. There are several aspects to Davies’ plan, for example using ‘low maintenance openings’, seeking out particular types of position, making the endgame your hunting ground and looking after your health. He goes on to show how several great players have used such techniques to make outstanding results in their 60s and even 70s. Video runnig time: 3 hours.

·         DVD

       ·         Language: English

·         Running time: 5 hours

System requirements: Pentium-Processor at 300 Mhz or higher, 64 MB RAM, Windows XP, Windows Vista, DVD drive, mouse, soundcard.

The Scotch Game (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4) is a lively alternative to the Ruy Lopez which has found favour amongst many leading Grandmasters. The top experts in the Scotch include former World Champion Garry Kasparov as well as Alexander Morozevich, Sergei Rublevsky and others. The space White takes early in the game can easily translate into a powerful attack

against Black’s king. In addition to this White can often usually some damage on Black’s pawn structure by capturing Black’s knight on c6. These dual aims have certainly been giving Black plenty to think about. On this DVD Nigel Davies introduces the viewer to the Scotch and first shows an easy way to get on board this opening via the Scotch Four Knights (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.d4). He then goes on to show how this can be built into a World class Scotch repertoire in which Black has more options but also comes under more pressure.

Whilst the presentation is focussed mainly on those who wish to play White, Davies also suggests lines for Black. This makes it essential viewing for players wishing to play either colour. 

Nigel Davies has been an International Grandmaster since 1993 and is a former British Open Quickplay and U21 Champion. He has had considerable experience in both the Scotch and in teaching club level players.

·         Language: English

·         Running time: 4 hours

System requirements: Pentium-Processor at 300 Mhz or higher, 64 MB RAM, Windows XP, Windows Vista, DVD drive, mouse, soundcard

Ever since the beginning of chess, the assault on the king has had its own special magic; masterly attacking games, crowned by sacrifices and unforgettable combinations, have never ceased to attract and thrill the audience. On this DVD in fritztrainer video format, Rustam Kasimdzhanov shows us that particularly the World Champions were outstanding attackers from who we can learn a lot. From Steinitz, Lasker and Capablanca to Fischer, Karpov and Kasparov, one exemplary attacking game is presented reflecting the individual playing attitude of each of these chess legends. The second part of the DVD is dedicated to games of Kasimdzhanov‘s own practice. In his typical vivid and instructive manner, he comments on the decisive stages of the attack explaining the spectator which specific train of thought led him to success during play. The result is an entertaining outline of historical and modern attacking chess, giving you all the skills required to succeed in your own practice. Video running time: 4 hours. This fritztrainer can also be run with Pocket Fritz 3 (audio format).

 Rustam Kasimdzhanov. Born in 1979, the grandmaster from Uzbekistan has for many years been known as a very strong and imaginative player. However in 2004 Rustam Kasimdzhanov (pronounced “Kah-zeem-jha-nov”) shocked the chess world by winning the FIDE world chess championship title, beating a string of world-class players like Ivanchuk, Grischuk, Topalov and Adams in the process. Kasimdzhanov is a very deep player, who is able to explain chess ideas in an eloquent, lucid style, with a fine touch of humour. His lessons are both entertaining and instructive – perfect for students who seek to avoid “dry” theory.

The Sicilian Dragon is one of the most extensively analysed openings in the entire realm of chess theory. That is because it is one of Black’s best counterattacking options against 1 e4 and therefore very attractive. After 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 g6! Black develops aggressively and rapidly, has clear intentions on the half-open c file and the long diagonal. He retains options of levering open the queenside with the help of ...b7-b5 and ...a7-a5. Black keeps the inherently flexible Sicilian pawn-structure intact.

Yet.....can it really be sensible for the club player to wade in these dangerous waters? Will the game not reduce to a battle of memory, particularly in the Yugoslav attack? Not everyone has the talent of Kasparov, Carlsen, Topalov or Golubev. In the ABC of the Sicilian Dragon, Andrew Martin constructs a battle plan for the average player, which relies less on theory and more on understanding. He argues conclusively that this excellent opening CAN be used by every player and give fine results. Video running time: 4 h 10 min.

IM Andrew Martin is 50 years old and is the manager of Coaching for the English Chess Federation. This is his 14th DVD for ChessBase.

Players wishing to play the Dutch Defence must certainly pay as much attention to Anti-Dutch systems as they do to the main line, as it is these very lines that will occur most often at club level. On this DVD IM Andrew Martin shows entertaining ways to get a good position as Black against all the most common Anti-Dutch strategies, so that you never have to worry about facing these annoying sidelines again. The most important lines: 2 Nc3, 2 Bg5, 2 e4 and various side options for White are all considered. The Dutch is fully playable in the author’s opinion and especially at club level, where it will be a sharp and uncompromising points-scorer. Every game featuring the Dutch is an adventure!
