In Volume 1 of the series, Ashley coins a new term Protected Squares, and shows how many errors occur on squares that seem invulnerable because they are clearly guarded by pawns. In example after example and in his trademark style, Ashley will teach you how to avoid this kind of mistake and how to look for moves that will shock and amaze your opponents. \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIn the first 19 videos on the DVD Ashley demonstrates both well-known and little known games in which a move on to a protected square plays an important part. In the second half of the DVD you are tested on what you have learned about protected squares with a series of exercises of increasing difficulty. This material is also drawn both from classics and from recent games.

Against the French you have to understand the underlying positional theme, otherwise you will quickly get a difficult position. As all major openings, the French Defence is full of concepts and variations. Many books leave the students with lines and ideas that are easy to mix up. In this DVD, you will be presented a coherent strategic opening repertoire against 1.e4. The main theme is to always attack White's centre with the f- and c-pawns, and then with pieces, until nothing is left of it. The recommended repertoire is based on comprehension rather than memorization. The pedagogic idea is to give you an integrated understanding that will help you to solve all kind of problems over the board. You will learn which central pawn formations in centre, so that you will be able to implement powerful manoeuvres and to recognise small strong moves. You will also learn when it is time to switch to an attack against the opponent's king. The recommended lines are solid and you shouldl be able to play the lines many years without having to bother too much about recent developments.   \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis DVD covers:\r\n1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 c5 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Be7 1.e4 e6 2.exd5 1.e4 e6 2.Nf3 d5 3.Nc3 1.e4 e6 2.d3 (King's Indian Attack) 1.e4 e6 2.Qe2 1.e4 e6 2.Nf3 d5 3.b4 (Wing Gambit) \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nVideo running time: 6h 48min  \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe International Master Ari Ziegler is a renowned theoretician in Sweden.

Because even in objectively quite balanced positions, you can frequently find ways to sharpen or complicate the fight. For the tournament player, often all that matters is to be able to pose practical problems which his or her opponent might finally fail to solve. Thus Shirov sees himself rather as an endgame practitioner, attributing his successes in this phase of the game less to concrete knowledge about theoretical positions than to the understanding of general principles, good intuition and exact calculation of variations.     One main emphasis of the DVD is the endgame with rooks and opposite colored bishops which Shirov finds particularly interesting, analyzing five examples. Another important feature is the very complex and difficult setting with four rooks (three examples), where he works out most helpful general principles. All in all, Shirov examines 17 examples out of his own practice, among them his famous opposite-colored bishop ending versus Topalov which went around the whole world. \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRunning time: 4 hours.      \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAlexei Shirov was born in Riga just like world champion Mihail Tal, and his playing style reminds many chess fans of the young Tal.

KASPAROV - How to Play the Najdorf - VOLUME 1","description":"The Najdorf system in the Sicilian Defence has a legendary reputation as a defensive weapon for Black. It is an opening where people often strive for a full point, instead of simply defending the position with the black pieces. Many great players have contributed to the development of this complex opening. There were two world champions who formed much of their careers using the Najdorf system as their weapon of choice against 1.e4: Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov celebrated spectacular successes with it. Both players used the Najdorf during their child prodigy years and retained it as an important part of their repertoire during their entire careers. For Garry Kasparov this added up to experience with the Najdorf at the very highest levels of chess.  \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n For chess amateurs and professionals alike it is a great moment when the worlds leading expert shares all the secrets in his favourite opening. In part one Garry Kasparov introduces the various sub-systems of the Najdorf, including the central \"Poisoned Pawn\" variation. The development of each line is placed in historical perspective and examined in great depth, with Kasparovs characteristic intensity.
