ABC of the Modern Slav, 2nd Edition - Andrew Martin (Full DVD) | Chessbase Fritz Trainer
1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6. The Slav Defence to the Queen’s Gambit has always had a solid reputation, dating right back to the days of Lasker, Alekhine and Capablanca, but it’s only in the last 15 years that the popularity of the opening has really taken off at all levels. Naturally, Slav set-ups and ideas can also be used again the other Flank openings (1.Nf3, 1.c4, 1.b3 etc.) and so by learning the Slav, in a way you are learning a universal approach.
Coming to this DVD, we will find ideas for Black which can be used by amateur and professional alike, predominantly featuring the trendy new approach to Black’s armoury involving a very early ...a7-a6. The ...a6 Slav offers Black solidity, dynamism and variety couched in an easy-to-understand setting. Perhaps this is why Grandmasters of the caliber of Kasparov, Shirov, Morozevich, Bologan and Dreev, among many, have all used the opening with success and continue to do so! The Slav with an early ...a6 remains as solid and as flexible in 2010 as it ever was. If anything, the reputation of this line has been enhanced since the original DVD was produced. In this modern update Andrew Martin considers nine, new, interesting and important games, most involving strong grandmasters, which demonstrate that this is one of Black’s best defences to 1.d4. Video running time: 5 hours

In 2007 we viewed Alekhine’s Defence as an excellent opening to play if Black wants to go for the win and four years later this has not changed. If anything, more Grandmasters are using the opening today. Black gets a tough and resilient position with ample opportunity for counterchances.
With 1...Nf6 he immediately throws down the gauntlet to the pawn on e4 and tries to take the initiative from the very first moves. This is a particularly effective game-plan at club level, where knowledge of exact theory is sketchy and where a passive response to immediate aggression is commonplace. So in the fully updated ABC of the Alekhine, we take a look at how the opening stands in 2011. 1...Nf6 seems to have a bright and enduring future. IM Andrew Martin provides sound, active recommendations for Black, modified if necessary to account for the passing of time and which can be used at all levels of play. To underestimate Alekhine‘s Defence would be a big mistake indeed!

The ABC of the Modern Benoni - Andrew Martin (Full DVD) | Chessbase Fritz Trainer
The Modern Benoni is one of the sharpest and most controversial replies to 1 d4. In return for active pieces and a queenside pawn majority, Black voluntarily inherits a position with the clear defect of a weak, backward pawn on d6, a trade-off which invariably leads to razor-sharp play.

The opening is dissected, so that players of all levels will learn how the Black position ticks and the typical ideas that White may adopt to try to put the Benoni out of business. In the final analysis, this is an inspiring tour which will encourage you to try this opening yourself!
