Chess Evolution 2 - Beyond the Basics

Playing 1.e4 with White is often associated with having to know reams of opening theory but this does not have to be the case.

The Nimzo-Indian is not only one of the most solid openings against 1.d4, but it also suits the player with Black who is aiming from the start for the full point.

This­ DVD, cal­l­ed ‘Endg­ame Mag­ic’, tries­ to­­ co­­ver impo­­rtant parts­ o­­n this­ f­iel­d and hel­p to­­ as­s­imil­ate kno­­w­l­edg­e and unders­tand in depth the pro­­per handl­ing­ o­­f­ endg­ame in certain cas­es­.

In this DVD you will find a repertoire based on flexible development whenever possible, and an explanation of some strategic nuances of the KID.

Really, among the open games the only opening with which White can really fight for an advantage in the long term is the Ruy Lopez. But in order to make this serious effort, he has buckle down and learn a whole series of sub-variations. That is what the professionals do, including of course Viktor Bologan, who now reveals the secrets of his own grandmaster repertoire. On his second Ruy Lopez DVD Viktor Bologan shows how things continue after 3...a6 4.Ba4. Black has some possible deviations before we reach the main lines which are dealt with in Part 3. These include the solid Steinitz Defence and the Archangelsk Variation which has again been brought up to date. In the Open Ruy Lopez quite different types of positions are reached - and White need to understand these too. And our author prefers to avoid the Marshall Attack - so he suggests the Anti-Marshall beginning with 8.h3. Video running time: 5 hrs 20 min. System requirements: Pentium-Processor at 300 Mhz or higher, 64 MB RAM, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, DVD drive, mouse, soundcard

By playing the London System, with 1.d4 followed by 2.Nf3 and 3.Bf4, White can avoid a theoretical discussion and instead use natural ability plus a knowledge of plans.

The Gruenfeld Defence enjoys a special star status in the family of Indian openings. It involves a daring, active concept: fighting for control of the centre with an early d7-d5 thrust supported only by pieces.
