    The Hippopotamus system of defence, DVD-ROM
    What is the Hippopotamus system of defence? The idea is that, at the beginning of the game, Black develops within his own first three ranks. He constructs a solid, flexible and hopefully stable position, awaiting events. At the right moment, he will strike back! The Hippopotamus was given the name by an eccentric English amateur player JC Thompson, back in the 1950's. It seems as good a name as any. Given the right conditions, Black will emerge from the chessboard swamp and crush all before them. Many strong players have taken a liking to the Hippo, including such greats as Boris Spassky and Gata Kamsky. Here we have an anti-theoretical opening, which has allowedthem to draw on experience, rather than the need to remember long move sequences. It's worth pointing out that White may play in Hippo-style too. On this ChessBase video course IM and FIDE Senior Trainer Andrew Martin maps out a game plan for the Hippo user and shows how the opening is played in the present day. It is an exciting tour of some very unusual chess.- Video running time: 5 hours- With interactive training including video feedback- Extra: Training with ChessBase apps - play key positions against Fritz on various levelsSystem requirements: Minimum: Pentium III 1 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Windows 7, DirectX9 graphic card with 256 MB RAM, DVD-ROM drive, Windows Media Player 9 and internet connection for program activation.

    The smooth Scandinavian Defence with 3...Qd8, DVD-ROM
    Are you looking for a simple, easy-to-learn repertoire against 1.e4? Then the Scandinavian with 3...Qd8 is yours! After 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 the retreat 3...Qd8 leads to a very solid type position for Black. At the expense of two tempi, the pawnstructure has been defined, and hence a clear developing plan can be made for our minor pieces. The first goal is to get the light-squared bishop out to g4, then placing the pawns on c6 and e6. Now Black has a rock-solid setup and good chances tobuild up pressure against White's pawn on d4 and/or use the d5-square as an outpost for any of their pieces. This video course offers you a complete Black repertoire with 1.e4 d5. Covering all the critical attempts for White to punish Black's provocative approach, as well as all the relevant minor options on move 2 and 3 for White. The emphasis is on understanding the ensuing middlegames and endgames. In the interactive part (20 exercises with multiple questions) you'll get a chance to apply some concrete theoretical knowledge, as well as test your understanding of typical positions arising from this opening. After studying all the material, you will likely get a position that you are more familiar with than your opponent! - Video running time: more than 7 hours (English)- With interactive training including video feedback- Extra: Training with ChessBase apps - Memorize the opening repertoire and play key positions against Fritz on various levels- Database with model gamesSystem requirements:Minimum: Pentium III 1 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Windows 7, DirectX9 graphic card with 256 MB RAM, DVD-ROM drive, WindowsMedia Player 9 and internet connection for program activation.

    A Complete Black Repertoire versus the English, 1...e5, DVD-ROM
    Nicholas Pert: A Complete Black Repertoire versus the English, 1...e5The English is becoming increasingly popular as White players avoid the heavy theory of 1.e4 or 1.d4 and hope to achieve a small advantage in a safe position. A lot of club players tend to focus on openings against 1.e4 and 1.d4 but neglect to study a response to the English. 1...e5 is a theoretically sound response with good chances of equality or better in all variations, and in this video series I provide a complete Black repertoire based on this move. I have several years of experience playing 1...e5 against the English, and it is used regularly by many of the world's leading grandmasters. Anish Giri is known for his opening preparation and his ideas feature heavily in the chapters.The repertoire is designed for players who want a complete, independent repertoire against 1.c4. 1...e5 is the 2nd most popular response to the English after 1...Nf6, and doesn't allow direct transpositions into 1.d4 openings. In many of the chapters Black equalises, and when the White players become a bit adventurous or don't know how to handle the positions, Black can hope for an advantage. The two positions that feature most heavily are the Four Knights English, 1.c4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Nf3 Nc6 and the systems with early g3, 1.c4 e5 2. g3 c6. In both of these positions I have studied the main variations in depth, but also covered some of the minor lines. The same themes have a habit of coming up regularly and I have attempted to present the main ideas of these key positions as well as the theory in order to help the viewer's understanding of this opening.- Video running time: 4 hours 50 min (English)- With interactive training including video feedback- Extra: Training with ChessBase apps - Memorize the opening repertoire and play key positions against Fritz on various levels- Database with model gamesGM Nick Pert is a chess grandmaster from England who has regularly played for the England team in Olympiads and European Team Championships.

    The Benoni is back in business - Fritztrainer - interaktives Video-Schachtraining
    Rustam Kasimdzhanov: The Benoni is back in businessThe Benoni is characterised by the moves 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 and is a popular opening weapon amongst club players. On top level it’s a rarer guest but with this DVD Rustam Kasimdzhanov, opening expert and second and coach of Fabiano Caruana, will turn the tables. New ways and approaches in most lines and countless improvements of official theory will show you how to play this opening at any level with success. His preferred move order into the Benoni arises through 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 c5 which complements his already published DVD on the Nimzoindian (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4). The variations of the original Benoni are reached through move order transposition. Kasimdzhanov goes into extreme detail, showing that the Benoni is a reliable opening that often leads to truly fascinating positions. Players of all levels will enhance their knowledge of the opening and their general understanding of dynamic positions. Moreover, you’ll be able to practice the lines shown in the Opening Trainer and you can play key positions to improve your understanding of typical structures and patterns of the Benoni.• Video running time: 5 hours 45 min (English)• With interactive training including video feedback• Extra: Database with model games• Bonus: Further Training chapter with repertoire and play featuresSystem requirements:Minimum: Pentium III 1 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Windows 7, DirectX9 graphic card with 256 MB RAM, DVD-ROM drive, Windows Media Player 9 and internet connection for program activation.

    Aronian-Variante - Fritztrainer - interaktives Videoschachtraining
    Martin Breutigam: Aronian-Variante –Ein modernes Repertoire gegen SpanischDer armenische Topgroßmeister Levon Aronian hat ein altes Konzept mit neuen Spielideen aufgefrischt. Ausgangspunkt der Aronian-Variante in der spanischen Partie (1.e4 e5 2.Sf3 Sc6 3.Lb5) ist der Zug 3...Sge7, der nach Carlo Cozio benannt wurde, einem italienischen Schachmeister aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Die wenigenGroßmeister, die früher zu 3...Sge7 griffen, verbanden jedoch meist andere Pläne damit als Aronian und weitere namhafte Spieler im 21. Jahrhundert: Wenn Weiß zum Beispiel klassisch 4.0-0 nebst c3 und d4 spielt, kann Schwarz per Fianchetto (4...g6, 5...Lg7 usw.) auf aktives Figurenspiel hoffen. Aronian war nicht der Erste,der sich so verteidigte, aber er hat das Potenzial dieser Variante eindrucksvoll nachgewiesen. Es ist ein flexibles, schnell zu erlernendes Universal-Konzept gegen Spanisch, das obendrein eine Reihe von weißen Möglichkeiten vermeidet (z.B. die Abtausch-Variante 3...a6 4.Lxc6). Auf dieser DVD werden alle Antworten auf3...Sge7 detailliert besprochen (u.a. 4.0-0, 4.c3, 4.Sc3, 4.d4 und auch die Zugfolge 3...a6 4.La4 Sge7).

    The surprising Sicilian! - Shock your opponent with an early ....Qb6 - Fritztrainer: interaktives Videoschachtraining
    Andrew Martin: The surprising Sicilian! - Shock your opponent with an early ....Qb6In the modern game, a player has to be ready to play almost any opening variation at short notice. The plan is to interrupt the preparation of the opponent at every turn. A knowledge of dynamic and slightly unusual lines could well score many,many points for the resourceful player. The Kveinys Variation : 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 e6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Qb6! is surprisingly little-played, yet gives Black excellent chances and on this new ChessBase DVD, Andrew Martin explains how the system works. For the Master, we have a surprise weapon which players of the calibre of Svidler, Judit Polgar and Kveinys have used to defeat tough opposition. For the club player, where preparation is sketchy, we have a line which asks questions of the opponent right at the beginning of the game and creates immediate pressure on White to find good moves. That is the way to win! Perhaps the Kveinys variation will become more popular in the future. It does not deserve to be a comparatively rare sideline.• Video running time: 5 hours 21 min.

    The Grünfeld Formula - Fritztrainer - interaktive Videoschachkurse
    The story goes that a low-rated player once bravely asked Viktor Korchnoi his advice about what opening to play against a stronger opponent. “Play Grünfeld” was the grumpy reply. “Play Grünfeld against everything apart from 1 e4.”I have no way of verifying this story, but it certainly inspired me to think about whether this was possible and the end result is this new ChessBase course.Naturally, a universal approach using ...Nf6, ...g7-g6 and ...d7-d5 as the base would be very useful for players of all classes, saving time and energy and promising a fluid, dynamic position. I’ve found Korchnoi’s advice to be mostly true, but there are a few important exceptions when Black can do better than just trot out the Grünfeld Formula. Look out for those differences!This is a course full of opening ideas and suggestions for Black, against all of:1 b31 b4King’s Indian Attack1 f41 c41 Nf3QP Systems including London, Torre, Trompowski, Barry Attack, Colle, StonewallA comprehensive list!• Video running time: over 6 hours (English)• With interactive training including video feedback• Exclusive database with model gamesAndrew Martin is an English chess player with the title of International Master.

    How to slay the Sicilian Vol. 3 - Fritztrainer - Interaktives Videoschachtraining
    Do you struggle against the Sicilian? And would you like to play the Open Sicilian but shy away from it because you fear the many lines you might have to learn? Then this video is a must for you! Dutch Grandmaster Roeland Pruijssers and International Master Nico Zwirs created a complete repertoire against the Sicilian that is basedon the Open Sicilian and that is easy to learn. They recommend the Maroczy set-up (e4-c4), the English Attack (Be3,f3 and Qd2) and set-ups with Be3/Qf3. Fighting the Sicilian with one of these three setups makes the Open Sicilian much more easy to play. Sometimes this opening approach will lead to transpositions that will baffle players with Black, e.g. if they wanted to play the Najdorf but suddenly find themselves in a line of the Taimanov!This video offers a strong and safe repertoire against the Sicilian and comes with a lot of new and fresh ideas. It is ideal for club players and titled players alike! The whole series is divided in three parts that deal with 2…d6, 2…e6 and 2…Nc6 respectively. The entertaining presentation of Pruijssers and Zwirs help to understand this powerful recipe against one of the most popular openings against 1.e4. Watch the video and get ready to slay the Sicilian!Vol.3: 2…e6 and othersTaimanov, Paulsen/Kan, Hybrid System, Pin-Variation, Nimzowitsch 2…Nf6, O‘ Kelly 2…a6, Hyper-Accelerated Dragon 2…g6• Video running time: over 10 hours (English)• With interactive training including video feedback• Further Training chapter with repertoire and play featuresSystem requirements:Minimum: Pentium III 1 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Windows 7, DirectX9 graphic card with 256 MB RAM, DVD-ROM drive, Windows Media Player 9 and internet connection for program activation.

    Beschleunigtes Sämisch Band 2 - Fritztrainer - interaktives Videoschachtraining
    Beschleunigtes Sämisch Band 2Grünfeld - Ein Weißrepertoire nach 1.d4 Sf6 2.c4 g6 3.f3Die Königsindische Verteidigung ist auf Clubniveau zweifelsohne eine der beliebtesten Entgegnungen auf 1.d4. Und dies mit gutem Grund: der schwarze Raumnachteil wird durch gefährliche Angriffschancen am Königsflügel in der Regel ausreichend kompensiert. Die Hauptvarianten erschienen mir als Weißspieler daher immer als zu gefährlich, das Fianchetto-System war mir hingegen zu öde. Den perfekten Ausweg aus diesem Dilemma stellt das Sämisch-System dar: das Zentrum wird mit dem Zug f3 stabilisiert, zudem eine mögliche Expansion am Königsflügel vorbereitet. So ist es in der Regel Weiß, der die Angriffschancen gegen den König bekommt. Auf dieser DVD möchte ich Ihnen einen Einblick in die Tiefen dieses strategisch sehr gesunden Systems geben, das Schwarz bereits früh sämtliche Mattfantasien am Königsflügel austreibt. Mit der cleveren Zugfolge 1.d4-Sf6 2.c4-g6 3.f3!? leiten wir nicht nur das Sämisch-System gegen den Königsinder ein, sondern bekämpfen mit der Grünfeld-Indischen Verteidigung zugleich einen weiteren wichtigen Eröffnungskomplex. Fans des Grünfeld-Inders werden früh aus ihren gewohnten Bahnen geworfen, der Kampf wird auf das uns bekanntere Terrain verlegt. Die Anti-Grünfeld- Zugfolge 3.f3 gilt daher als genauer denn 3.Sc3 und wird auch von Weltmeister Magnus Carlsen regelmäßig angewandt.• Videospielzeit: 4 Std. 30 Min (Deutsch)• Interaktiver Abschlusstest mit Video-Feedback• Extra: Tool zum Ausspielen von Repertoire und SchlüsselstellungenZum Schach kam Marco Baldauf, Jahrgang 1990, als er im Alter von sechs Jahren den Schachcomputer „Kasparov“ geschenkt bekam und sich schnell zur Schwierigkeitsstufe „h8“ hochspielte.
