Beating the Sicilian: Grandmaster Bologan's Repertoire Vol.2 - Viktor Bologan (Full DVD) | Chessbase Fritz Trainer
The second volume of the Open Sicilian is dedicated to two very important areas: the most interesting opening of all time the Najdorf Variation, and also to the most romantic line in the Sicilian - the Dragon Variation. It’s actually enough to point out that both openings were played successfully by Garry Kasparov with Black. The author’s task was to give White some clear lines which will survive all kind of possible improvements from the black side and still be able to give White hope for an advantage. In both cases Bologan...

Beating the French Vol. 2 - Rustam Kasimdzhanov (Full DVD) | Chessbase Fritz Trainer
In his DVD series on the French Defence, Rustam Kasimdzhanov presents a promising White repertoire based upon 3.Nc3. Topic of the second DVD is the position following 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.f4 c5 6.Nf3 Nc6 7.Be3. Very often this leads to a queenless middlegame or endgame with a white knight on d4 versus a bad bishop on c8 which offers White excellent winning prospects. In 12 video lessons Kasimdzhanov explains, in detail and easy to understand, how White has to proceed to be successful in this position. For players who...

ChessBase Magazine 131 (Full DVD)
ChessBase Magazine 131In recent months the world of chess has seen two tragic heroes. For the first time in a long while Alexei Shirov won an absolutely top tournament in Sofia. But immediately afterwards he came in hopelessly last in the Poikovsky Tournament. Things were different for Vassily Ivanchuk, whose ELO-rating was recently in free fall. In last place in Sofia, he went on to celebrate a majestic tournament victory in the “Kings Tournament” in Bazna. Dortmund represented a pause for Shirov and Ivanchuk. There it was Vladimir Kramnik who took first place in his tried and tested manner – controlled...

ChessBase Magazine 133 (Full DVD)
Four highlights and a new number one. That is the summary of the autumn of 2009 in chess. It ran from the Pearl Spring Tournament in Nanjing with the triumphal success of Magnus Carlsen via the European Club and National Championships to the major high point of the year, the Tal Memorial in Moscow, which Vladimir Kramnik was able to take with half a point of a lead. The new (unofficial) number one in the FIDE world ranking list is now Magnus Carlsen, whose second place in Moscow was sufficient for him to push Topalov from the top spot.
