Garry Kasparov took to the Queen's Gambit at a relatively late stage of his chess career, but then had the best training anyone could imagine: in his first match for the world championship against Anatoly Karpov, this opening appeared on the board no less than 19 times.

His rise to the top was meteoric and at his very first attempt he managed to become World Champion - if one does not count the aborted title match of 1984 as a failure. He is the youngest World Champion of all times. From 1985 to 2000 Kasparov kept the title - for 15 years - defending it against Anatoly Karpov, Nigel Short, and Viswanathan Anand, until he finally lost it to Vladimir Kramnik. But even as an ex-champion Kasparov dominated the international chess scene and was first on the FIDE ranking list until he retired from competitive chess in 2005. In October 2012, when this DVD was recorded, his record rating of 2851 is still unsurpassed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKasparov divides his career into three phases: his rise to the top (1973 to 1985), the time as World Champion (1985 to 1993), and the time from the break-up with the World Chess Federation until his withdrawal from tournament chess (1993 to 2005). On this DVD Garry Kasparov deals with the first phase. He recounts how he made it to the top in the years 1973 to 1985 and shows the key games which helped him become the world's best player. His model for selecting the games is Bobby Fischer and his book \"My 60 Memorable Games\" - like Fischer, Kasparov does not only select games he had won. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis DVD - containing 16 chapters and running for more than six hours - gives you an opportunity to follow the development of the best player in the history of chess, all told and explained by the champion himself.

In the first of this new series with ChessBase, IM Lorin D'Costa investigates one of the most famous prodigies of modern times - Sergey Karjakin. In this DVD, D'Costa focuses mainly on Sergey's early career from aspiring 9 year old up to grandmaster at 12, culminating in his current world top 10 status, and on who his rivals are for the title of world champion. Not many chess players can say they defeated a grandmaster at age 11, but Sergey did when he defeated Pavel Eljanov in the Ukrainian Team Championships in 2001, and from a level endgame at that! How did Sergey defeat one of the world's best players, Alexei Shirov, with masterful precision at the age of just 12? How did Sergey grind down the reigning world champion Vladimir Kramnik in 2004 in an opposite coloured bishop ending in the Dortmund playoff aged just 14?

Although the Italian Game and the Ruy Lopez are mostly positional openings, it is very often possible to make use of attacking methods of play. This DVD is based mostly on the personal experience and games of the author, thus making it a unique chess product. The methods described in the DVD are the results of the life-long experience of the author who has played the Ruy Lopez and the Italian Game from his childhood and has scored with it many, many wins, including some against the world's strongest players. The DVD is divided into 4 chapters according to those attacking methods which have given and still are giving the author the best results. Also several other games by other players (such as A. Karpov, for example) have been added and explained. To complement the instruction, a database is provided which contains all the games which the author has played in the Italian Game and the Ruy Lopez since 1986. A huge number of these games have never been published before. There is also on this DVD a comprehensive database of more than 1 million games played only in the Italian Game and the Ruy Lopez (this database has been compiled from different sources). Other databases of only annotated games and references have been added as well. Everything makes this DVD an excellent comprehensive product for learning how to play the Italian Game and the Ruy Lopez and achieving the best results with these openings!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAttention: Activation requires internet access\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBorn 1973 in Krasnodar (Soviet Union), Sergei Tiviakov was a member of the Smyslov school and gained the titles of World Youth Champion at U16 and U18 levels. 1994 he represented Russia in the Chess Olympiads.

The author uses content from his own notebooks to provide a full explanation of how to proceed. Important chess principles are explained which help the student tackle the unknown! A large part of this DVD is about the Reti Opening - 1.Nf3. Tiviakov explains how to play against it and refers to 2 other DVDs he has produced on the Catalan, the Queen's Indian and the Nimzo-Indian Defences. The point is to select a reply which corresponds to lines which have already been explained and previously studied; this is in order not to be tricked by an opponent into choosing another move order. This DVD contains lot of material which cannot be found anywhere else, including a large database of almost 1 million games, all the games the author has played against these moves from 1986 are on this DVD as well (half of these games have never been published before) and many annotated games.

In our first steps in chess we are taught about the nominal value of the pieces. The queen is equal to nine pawns; a rook to five, a minor piece is worth three pawns. This is a common sense solution aimed at teaching the beginner a system of values so that he or she does not trade a more valuable piece for a less good one. Later however, situations occur in games in which one side can trade two minor pieces (six pawns) for a rook and a pawn (also six pawns). Theoretically speaking, this should result in an equal position, but in reality one of the two sides will profit from the exchange. There are many cases of material imbalance in chess. In his new DVD GM Dejan Bojkov of Bulgaria makes an attempt to systematise the most important ones and gives valuable advice on how to handle the resulting positions. He also explains the hidden factors behind the imbalances, explanations which will guide you through the art of exchanging pieces.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo running time: 4 hours 50 minutes (English)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith interactive training including video feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive training database with selected 50 games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluding CB 12 - Reader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 128);\"\u003eIt's your move!

Using games almost exclusively from grandmaster praxis in the last two years, Collins explains all of the major ideas for playing with and against the IQP, including the d5-advance, kingside attacks (including the rook lift, h4-h5 and Bxh6 sacrifices), central sacrifices (including the Rxe6 exchange sacrifice in various positions from the Petroff), queenside play and simplification, and gives some guidance on how to assess transpositions into related structures.The universality of the IQP is illustrated by the games on this DVD, played in openings as diverse as the Nimzo Indian, Queen's Gambit Accepted, Semi-Tarrasch, Caro-Kann, Slav, c3-Sicilian, French Tarrasch, Bogo Indian and Petroff. A final section of questions and answers (in Chessbase's new interactive format) tests and reinforces the reader's knowledge of the IQP, one of the most important structures in modern chess.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo running time: 4 h 35 min (English)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith interactive training including video feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes CB 12 Reader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive database with 2,500 games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSam Collins is an International Master from Ireland with two GM norms.

However, the focus lies not on memorising variations. Instead, I present some of my own games to show typical plans and strategies and to indicate typical and important tactical motifs, which can be used in various systems. The DVD is divided into three parts. In the first part I annotate six illustrative games from my own practice, which provide a good overview about the various possibilities to play and to attack with both colours. The second part is based upon the first and contains a number of exercises. The third part finally reveals a number of typical opening traps for those who like a little bit of theory. Knowing these traps helps you to avoid catastrophes in the Sicilian and might allow you to score an occasional quick win yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo running time: 3 hours 30 minutes (English)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive training database with 100 selected games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew: Now with interactive video training\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluding CB 12 Reader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e About the Author\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eElisabeth Pahtz: 2002 World Champion U18, 2004 Vice World Champion U20, 2005 World Champion U20, 2012 Vice European Champion in Blitz Chess, Member of the German National Team, since 2001 Woman Grandmaster (WGM), since 2004 International Master (IM).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e System requirements: \u003c\/strong\u003eMinimum: Pentium III 1 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Windows Vista, XP (Service Pack 3), DirectX9 graphic card with 256 MB RAM, DVD-ROM drive, Windows Media Player 9 and internet connection for program activation.

The setup, which involves putting the knight on e2 in combination with castling kingside, was revolutionary at that time. Until then, White had either placed his knight on f3 with the idea of s tarting a minority attack on the queenside, or on e2, where it was normally associated with the intention of castlingqueenside and preparing a pawn storm against the Black King. K asparov, Botvinnik's pupil, would soon follow in his mentor's footsteps, bringing yet further refinements to this flexible system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis DVD offers a complete repertoire for handling this solid opening, often featuring a dynamic approach to pose the opponent more practical problems.

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with all these ideas, but before undertaking such concrete actions, one should be sure the position is ripe for it. Chess is so complicated that making the right choice on the basis of calculation alone is not always possible. This is when general rules and principles come into play to help us distinguish between what we would like to do - and what we should do. In other words, it is a matter of establishing the right order of priorities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis series of DVDs aims to demonstrate the importance of taking proven principles into account before choosing the direction of your over-the-board calculations.

Deviating from the natural course of development for the sake of some illusory advantages is likely to lead one to the same fate as that of those sailors who fell under the syrens' spell - ruin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DVD deals with a wide range of situations in which development and developing moves are the highest priority.

When facing the Grunfeld with White, one frequently has the frustrating impression that Black is always able to slip away - trying to win is like trying to catch a fish with your bare hands. Even more disturbing is the fact that the longer you analyse, the more you feel like it is a forced draw. This complete repertoire for White, starting with 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4 Nxc3 6.bxc3 c5 7.Nf3 Bg7 8.Ne3, is based on the classical belief that a strong centre guarantees long-term pressure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have aimed to make use of the most valuable ideas introduced by the world's main specialists (above all Kramnik) and have come up with new ideas and concrete lines in those cases when White has come to a dead end in current theory. In doing so, I have not spared any effort in finding possible improvements for Black, as well as the corresponding antidotes, in an attempt to anticipate the theory's evolution. In modern chess, it is important to retain opening flexibility. For this reason, I have developed two parallel repertoires based on slightly different move orders. In each case I have explained the pros and cons, and offer my subjective preference for one of them. After having examined the repertoire videos, you can test your understanding with the quiz videos.

In 1960 he beat the reigning World Champion Botvinnik but one year later he lost the title of World Champion again in a return match of doubtful competitive value. But even though Tal was no longer World Champion, he still remained one of the best players in the world. At eight chess Olympiads he won gold with the Soviet team. Six times he became USSR-Champion. In 1973\/74 he managed to remain unbeaten in 93 consecutive games, a still unmatched record. In 1988 he won the Blitz World Championship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite his frail health Tal enjoyed life to the fullest and was a funny and brilliant man, who loved nothing more than chess. Through the games of Mihail Tal this DVD provides a unique access to the realm of chess tactics. Tal's colleagues dubbed their tactical guru 'Magician', because in his games' seemingly incomprehensible moves in the end blended into a successful whole, as if by magic. But Tal was also a master of strategy and endgame play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn this DVD Dorian Rogozenco, Mihail Marin, Oliver Reeh and Karsten Muller present the 8. World Chess Champion in video lessons: his openings, his understanding of chess strategy, his artful endgame play, and finally his immortal combinations. In an interactive test they invite you to try to find combinations like Tal did. The DVD also contains all games by Tal, many of them annotated, plus comments and tournament tables.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo running time: 4 hours 13 min (English)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteractive tactics test with video feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollection of every Tal game, tables, backround knowledge, short biography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTal powerbook- the World Champion's repertoire as an opening tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTactic training with 245 questions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSystem requirements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eMinimum:\u003c\/b\u003e Pentium III 1 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Windows Vista, XP (Service Pack 3), DirectX9 graphic card with 256 MB RAM, DVD-ROM drive, Windows Media Player 9 and internet connection for programactivation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended: \u003c\/b\u003ePC Intel Core i7, 2.8 GHz, 4 GB RAM, Windows 7 or Windows 8, DirectX10 graphic card (or compatible) with 512 MB RAM or better, 100% DirectX10 compatible sound card, Windows Media Player 11, DVD-ROM drive and internet connection for program activation.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEAN: 4027975007960, Chessbase Fritz Trainer DVD \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ChessBase","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36140322226327,"sku":"4027975007960","price":26.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0478\/2876\/2775\/files\/bp_6697.png?v=1742559322"},{"product_id":"tactics-from-basics-to-brilliance-vol-5-valeri-lilov-pc-dvd","title":"Tactics - from Basics to Brilliance Vol 5 - Valeri Lilov (PC-DVD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTactics - from Basics to Brilliance by Valeri Lilov (PC-DVD)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(95, 73, 122);\"\u003eVol 5: Tactics in the Endgame\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(31, 73, 125);\"\u003eVideo running time: 4 h 23 min.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you are looking to improve your chess, tactical training is a sure-fire path to success.

If he also understands the ideas of this opening well, then White will be able to keep up the pressure. The fact that such players as Gashimov, Karjakin, Caruana, Anand, Svidler, Grischuk and Shirov often play the Advance Variation against the Caro-Kann will give you the much needed chess confidence, while watching their games will inspire you to great creative and performance achievements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DVD is made for a large audience, starting with beginners up to higher level players.

There are a number of forced lines but they are mostly based on the elementary principles of dynamics and development. With these principles one should find one‘s way when confronted with a novelty or... forgot the analysis!

The Veresov is an attacking opening, based on quick minor-piece development followed by effective pawn levers to open the game.

The variations are less forcing and superior chess skill is required to outwit your opponents in the middlegame. In the English, white plays 1.c4 and fianchettos the white kings bishop to g2. Like all good chess openings, this fights for control of the centre and posts the ‘English Bishop’ on the long diagonal g2-a8. Many people view the opening as rather dull, but this is a misnomer-in fact, there are many sharp pawn sacrifices and attacking lines which have been found in recent times which give the opening some bite. As such, the English Opening is an opening that can suit a wide range of playing styles.

On this new ChessBase DVD. IM and FIDE Senior Trainer Andrew Martin investigates the notion that ‘pawns are the soul of chess’ and tries to explain exactly what this means. The effective use of pawns in the opening leads to the correct development of the pieces and a good game springs naturally from there. The pawn structure must be considered throughout the game and this is something that Martin also touches upon. The viewer will be treated to a tour of excellent games, both old and new, many from the period 2012-2014, which highlight key ideas about the correct use of pawns and from which one cannot fail to improve one’s technique.
