  • the ChessMedia systeMinnovative and unique teChnique!

    Youd like to train with Garry Kasparov, Vishy Anand or Vladimir Kramnik? The ChessMedia system brings stars, top grandmasters and leading trainers, into your home. That is more than just a lot of fun; it is also much more effective than dryasdust studying from books or even playing through games on your computer, all alone.

    And here is how it works: the trainer explains his ideas to you in a video which is played in a window which occupies part of the screen. Totally synchronized with the video, the moves and variations are executed on the board. This symbiosis in which games are demonstrated along with expert analysis in both image and sound is the ideal medium to enable every chess player to assimilate even the most complicated concepts. The series of Fritztrainer DVDs covers the whole range of important themes in chess, from the basics of opening play, to strategy and tactics in the middlegame all the way through to the mysteries of the endgame.

    let garry kasparov himself explain to you personally the correct way to play the Queens gambit or the najdorf. follow the great magician through the history of these classic openings, from their very birth to the very latest grandmaster praxis.

    Garry KasparovHow to Play the Najdorf Vol. 1The Najdorf Variation owes a good deal of its popularity to the commitment to it of Garry Kasparov, who employed it for many years as one of his main weapons. The DVD concentrates on the famous poisoned pawn variation (after 6.Bg5 e6 7.f4 Qb6),

    which has recently been undergoing a revival thanks to the efforts of top grandmasters such as Anand and Shirov. Kasparov explains the sharp lines in this variation comprehensively and in great depth.

    29,99 ISBN 9783937549255 Garry Kasparov

    How to Play the Queens GambitIn his day, Kasparov had the best teacher for the Queens Gambit whom one could imagine: Anatoly Karpov. In their rst world championship match, the opening was played no less than 19 times. He speaks eloquently about the variations and ideas behind the Classical Queens Gambit and explains the basic concepts. More than three hours of private training of absolutely superlative class!

    29,99 ISBN 9783937549064

    Garry KasparovHow to Play the Najdorf Vol. 3The subject of the third DVD is the simultaneously dynamic and yet solid English Attack (6.Be3) and the lines which develop from there (6...e5, 6...e6 and 6...Ng4). Kasparovs selection of games includes world class encounters from recent years. The total running time is more than 5 hours!

  • vLadiMir KraMniKMy Path to the toP

    Vladimir KramnikMy Path to the TopOn this DVD, Vladimir Kramnik describes in video format his chess career, starting from his childhood and the rst book which in uenced his style and going all the way to the FIDEWorld Championship match against Topalov in 2006. He recounts how he made it from the provincial town of Tuapse on the shores of the Black Sea to the Botvinnik Kasparov chess school in Moscow and looks back over his rst great successes on the national and the international stage. At the age of 16, he was selected for the Russian Olympiad team at the insistence of Kasparov and in Manila 1992 he scored a sensational 8.5 points out of 9 games, which was the best result achieved in that Olympiad.

    And in the same year he had his baptism of re in an elite tournament: Linares 1992. In one of the strongest tournaments in the history of chess (with Kasparov, Karpov and almost all of the top players of the day) 17 year old Kramnik nished on +2, a superb result, and in doing so established himself as one of the real elite. Further outstanding tournament results would follow and in 2000 the legendary World Championship match against Garry Kasparov, into which goes in great detail on the DVD.

    The two other highlights of the DVD are his exciting matches against Leko (2004) and against

    Topalov (2006), in which Karmnik was on each occasion successful in his defence of his WCh. When one gets down to it, perhaps the duel with Topalov is the more important one for the history of chess. In Elista 2006 the union of the world championship titles was agreed under the aegis of FIDE. If you follow Vladimir Kramnik along the path of his chess career up till now, you will have done more than just see a lot of chess and gain a better understanding of it. The DVD offers at the same time an outstanding opportunity to get to know the world champion as a person. That is the case because Kramnik talks about his successes, his emotions and his work in chess in a quite relaxed, open, humorous and charming manner. The DVD contains more than six hours of video with exciting reports and game analysis.

Originally, it was often scorned as being too positionally compromising, but the Sveshnikov has found its place in the repertoire of superstars such as Kramnik, Topalov, Radjabov, Carlsen, Shirov and Ivanchuk. Six times champion of the Netherlands, Loek van Wely offers on his Sveshnikov DVD more than just the many valuable suggestions and ideas for connoisseurs of this system.

  • Adrian MikhalchishinDecision making in chessThe theory of the critical moment in the chess game was explained once by GM Iosif Dorfman, who suggested that every game has 5 or 6 forks at which the important decisions are made. Accordingly, all major erroneous decisions are made at these moments when there are multiple possible choices. Mikhalchishin describes different critical moments in detail and explains how to react correctly. Understanding the play at such a critical moment is the key to improving ones results and general understanding of chess. Critical moments are characterized by the presence of between 2 and 4 differ

    ent possibilities the exchange of pieces, the calculation of a long variation, a positional solution or transposition into an endgame. Mikhalchishin shows how to perform correctly in the above situations.

    26,99 ISBN 9783866810440

    Adrian MikhalchishinThe secret weapons of the championsModern middlegame theory does not exist in written form. That is why players and trainers have to go back to the old recommendation by Nimzowitsch to study typical positional methods. But which players are better placed to teach us about their own powerful weapons than the great champions of the past? So the key to understanding the middlegame lies in understanding how to execute certain positional manoeuvres. In this DVD Mikhalchishin explains, for example, Botvinniks famous ank against centre strategy, which is one of the cornerstones of positional play. Also Petrosians white square strategy is an extremely important form of the control of squares and space. Tal was a great master of changing the material balance in every position for example, rook and pawn against two pieces. Total playing time: more than 4 hours.

  • Daniel KingPowerplay 1 Mating patternsThe reason for most mates being missed is that we do not recognise the possibility early enough. And in turn, the reason for that lies in a lack of knowledge of mating patterns. Recognising when danger approaches is a decisive ability, reasons the popular English grandmaster and chess presenter Daniel King at the start of this DVD. That is equally true, of course, no less for the defending side than for the attacking one, because for a defender it is vital to be able to put up as much resistance as possible. So the study of mating motifs is a rewarding one for both sides. If you follow King on this DVD, it will not only be good for your tactical vision, but time and again you will nd enjoyment in the aesthetic charm of the most varied collection of mating themes.

    The most effective learning takes place when you learn directly from the grandmasters of chess. so let grandmaster daniel king show you what you have to take into account for a successful attack on the king, how to set about attacking right from the opening or how to improve the coordination of your pieces.

    Daniel KingPowerplay 2 Attacking the kingThe most beautiful sight in chess is a vigorously executed attack on the king. But in praxis attacks on the king usually do not run smoothly. That is because setting up such an attack is a demanding business. What are the preconditions which allow us to go straight for the opposing king? Which pieces are important and when? And which pawns should I throw forward against the opposing castled position? All these questions are answered by King by means of selected model games on his second Powerplay DVD.

On his third DVD, Grandmaster Daniel King investigates further diabolical methods of attacking the castled king this time with the help of a pawn storm. But which pawn should one choose? And when is the correct moment to throw a pawn forward towards the opposing king?

    At the end of the DVD you can put your attacking and defensive capacities to the test with a series of specially chosen test positions, which are also optimally suited for trainers to use as readymade lessons and exercises.

  • NEW! Nigel DaviesThe English OpeningThe English Opening with 1.c4 is one of the most subtle yet combative means of starting a chess game which has found favour with many of the great players in history. White takes space on the queenside whilst keeping his options open about where he should place his pieces. This gives White the kind of exibility that is missing from regular 1.d4 openings and puts the onus on planning and ideas rather than on a knowledge of variations. On this DVD Davies tells you everything you need to know to start playing the English in tournament games, showing how White should react to Blacks different setups using 40 illustrative games. The main focus is on lines with 2.g3, making it easier

    for White to get aboard this Rolls Royce of chess openings. Video running time: 8 hours!

An understanding of the plans and ideas is more important than a precise knowledge of variations which means that it can be played for a lifetime without the need to worry about shock moves or surprises. These are amongst the reasons that several great players have been attracted by the Torre, including those with such diverse styles as Tigran Petrosian and David Bronstein.

    sal system of counterattack, offering winning chances against every White opening under the sun. Video running time: 5 hours.

    The english Opening

    The English Opening with 1.c4 is one of the most subtle yet combative means

    of starting a chess game which has found favour with many of the great players

    in history. White takes space on the Queenside whilst keeping his options open

    about where he should place his pieces. This gives White the kind of flexibility

    that is missing from regular 1.d4 openings and puts the onus on planning and

    ideas rather than a knowledge of variations.

    On this DVD Davies tells you everything you need to know to start playing the

    English in tournament games, showing how White should react to Blacks dif-

    ferent set-ups using 40 illustrative games. The main focus is on lines with 2.g3,

    making it easier for White to get aboard this Rolls Royce of chess openings.

    Video running time: 8 hours.

  • NEW! Andrew MartinThe ABC of Evans GambitHas the Evans Gambit been refuted in this year of 2008? Not according to Nigel Short and the many other strong Grandmasters whom you will see on this DVD. In fact, the Evans Gambit is ideal as a weapon for all players who wish to learn the art of attack or simply want to improve their results! At the cost of a pawn White often gets complete domination of the centre or an assault against Blacks King. Lines are quickly opened and a rapid defeat for Black is possible. Using games old and new,

    IM Andrew Martin assesses the state of play as it stands today. By learning and using the Evans Gambit you will be developing your attacking skills! Video running time: 4 hours 30 min.

    Andrew MartinThe ABC of the Modern BenoniThe 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 tradeoff which invariably leads to razorsharp play. On this ChessBase DVD, International Master Andrew Martin will teach you all the nuts and bolts of this fascinating opening, showing you when to duck andwhen to punch with Black and he tackles some of the most critical moveorders of the day. 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 nal analysis, this is an inspiring tour which will encourage you to try this opening yourself!
