The English Opening Vol. 2

This English Opening was my first love and this was the opening that I used to progress from the rank amateur player to 2400+ International Master. I will now share my secrets of this opening with you, in the hope that the English Opening can help you improve in a similar way. My main teaching method behind this set of two DVDs is to teach you some simple yet effective set ups, without the need to rely on memorising numerous complicated variations. I have explained what you are trying to achieve with each move and set up, then you will know what plans to put into motion in the middlegame and endgame.

• Video running time: 5 h 50 min
• With interactive training including video feedback
• Training database with over 50 essential games
• Including CB 12 Reader

The DVD covers: 1: The Symmetrical English – 1 c4 c5 2 Nc3 Nc6 3 g3 g6 4 Bg2 Bg7 5 a3!?
2: …d5 from Black in the Symmetrical English – 1 c4 c5 2 Nc3 Nf6 3 g3 d5
3: The Kings Indian Defence – 1 c4 Nf6 2 Nc3 g6 3 g3 Bg7
4: The Anti-Grunfeld – 1 c4 Nf6 2 Nc3 d5
5: The English Defence – 1 c4 b6
