With this DVD on the King‘s Indian Defence, Alexei Shirov continues the successful and highly praised series about his best games. As in the preceding DVDs the Latvian super grandmaster succeeds in spoiling his public with analysis of a high quality and with exciting insights into his games, and he does so in his own reserved, pleasant and modest style. As is the case with many of his openings, Alexei Shirov also plays the King‘s Indian with both colours. The DVD concentrates on the main line of the Classical King‘s Indian with Nf3, Be2 and 0-0. In the games, and they are almost exclusively victories, his opponents are renowned experts in this opening, such as World Champion Kramnik and Boris Gelfand with White. The black side is represented, amongst others, by the legendary King‘s Indian specialist John Nunn, but also by Teimour Radjabov, who may not yet be a legend, but who is reckoned at the moment to be the greatest expert in the King‘s Indian. Video running time: over 5 hours.

With this DVD on the Nimzo-Indian Defence (including the Catalan and the Queen‘s Indian) Alexei Shirov continues the successful and highly praised series about his best games. As in the preceding DVDs the Latvian super grandmaster succeeds in spoiling his public with analysis of a high quality and with exciting insights into his games, and he does so in his own reserved, pleasant and modest style. The DVD concentrates on the Classical Nimzo-Indian with 4.Qc2. But when playing against the very solid Nimzo-Indian, which the author faced most often as White, it is enormously important to be able to vary your opening lines and so the author himself often switches to 3.Nf3; this then leads to games with 3.b6 (Queen‘s Indian) or 3.d5 4.g3 (Catalan). Amongst the opponents in the games he presents are, for example, Topalov and Leko. Video running time: over 4 hours.

This disk is a perfect tool for players looking for a complicated battle against 1.d4. The author suggests the King’s Indian Defence and shows with a number of examples how realistic Black’s chances are in this opening to get a complex structure with the most serious attacking potential. Apart from theoretical information, the disk also contains structural insights and an array of ideas which will enable you to include this opening into your repertoire - immediately and with tangible success! The extended 2nd edition is based principally on games which have been played in the last three years with, as Black, either the author himself or top King’s Indian expert Teimor Radjabov. This has resulted in the creation of a work on the King’s Indian which not only gives deep insights into the variations and plans but also presents the most up-to-date state of affairs in this dynamic and active opening. Video running time: 7 hours.

After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 White players often play 3.Nc3 allowing the Nimzo-shop Indian Defence. But what happens if White plays the just as natural 3.Nf3?

The King’s Indian Attack is a unique opening system in that it offers White a dynamic and interesting game but without the need to know reams of theory. In addition to being easy to learn it has an excellent pedigree, leading exponents including great players such as Bobby Fischer, Tigran Petrosian, David Bronstein, Viktor Korchnoi, Leonid Stein and Lev Psakhis. It is playable as either a complete, self-contained opening system or as part of a regular 1.e4 repertoire. On this DVD Davies presents a complete repertoire for White as well as the lines he can use to supplement a King’s Pawn repertoire. Having had extensive experience in these positions he is able to communicate the plans and ideas in lucid fashion. Video running time: more than 5 hours.

Das Interzonenturnier von Zürich 1953 und die großartigen Analysen von David Bronstein markierten einen Wendepunkt im Verständnis der Königsindischen Verteidigung. Zuvor mit dem Makel einer zweitklassigen Eröffnung behaftet entwickelte sie sich zu einer der aggressivsten und gefährlichsten Waffen für den Nachziehenden. In den frühen Tagen dieser Eröffnung tendierte Schwarz dazu, seinen Damenspringer nach d7 zu entwickeln. Später fand der Springer ein gutes Feld auf c6. Und die aktuelle Praxis hat erwiesen, dass es noch ein weiteres gutes Feld für den schwarzen Springer gibt, nämlich das Feld a6. Von hier aus steuert er ebenfalls das Zentrum an, blockiert dabei aber nicht den weißfeldrigen Läufer. Der bulgarische GM Dejan Bojkov gehört zu den größten Verfechtern dieser modernen Spielweise. Auf der DVD finden Sie ein Repertoire, das wann immer möglich auf flexible Entwicklung baut, sowie eine Erläuterung einiger strategischer Feinheiten im Königsinder. Und nicht zuletzt präsentiert Ihnen der Autor auf der DVD eine Reihe von Verbesserungen, auf die er im Laufe seiner Untersuchungen gestoßen ist. Gesamtspielzeit: 5 Stunden.
