Players wishing to play the Dutch Defence must certainly pay as much attention to Anti-Dutch systems as they do to the main line, as it is these very lines that will occur most often at club level. On this DVD IM Andrew Martin shows entertaining ways to get a good position as Black against all the most common Anti-Dutch strategies, so that you never have to worry about facing these annoying sidelines again. The most important lines: 2 Nc3, 2 Bg5, 2 e4 and various side options for White are all considered. The Dutch is fully playable in the author’s opinion and especially at club level, where it will be a sharp and uncompromising points-scorer. Every game featuring the Dutch is an adventure!

The Leningrad System of the Dutch is characterized by an early fianchetto of Black’s King Bishop. Thanks to the uncompromising and controversial nature of Black´s first move, 1...f5, this will always lead to sharp and difficult play. On this ChessBase DVD, International Master Andrew Martin makes a compelling case for playing the Leningrad in competitive games and demonstrates that this is the ideal opening for players willing to embrace risk and who like to WIN. Bent Larsen once famously remarked that the Dutch Defence brings out “the chicken” in a lot of opponents. Time and again on this DVD we will see what he means. Maybe Petrosian rubbed his hands with glee at the thought of facing 1...f5, but for the average player the Dutch can be a nasty shock. Video running time: 4 h 10 min.

Schachtaktik ist die Kunst der Kampfführung. Wenn die Taktik dominiert, ist konkretes, unverzügliches Vorgehen gefordert, um mittels forcierter Abwicklung einen Plan zu verwirklichen oder eine günstige Gelegenheit auszunutzen. Indes ist bei komplizierten Stellungen und zäher Gegenwehr taktisches Basiswissen häufig nicht ausreichend und es sind solche Faktoren wie Intuition, Fantasie sowie Präzision vonnöten. Diese DVD hilft bei der Entwicklung dieser Qualitäten und bietet hierzu eine Vielzahl von hochinteressanten, gründlich analysierten Beispielen ebenso wie ausführliche Erklärungen und Übungsaufgaben.
