ChessBase DVDs – The Art of the Exchange Sacrifice 11.01.2012 – This month in Chess
Cafe Steven B. Dowd is reviewing ChessBase DVDs that "show the power
of original ideas in chess, their categorization, and learning how strong
players formulate and classify these ideas will make you a better player."
In the current review he looks at Ari Ziegler's DVD, which gets only four
stars ("good") because of certain shortcomings, but actually
deserves six.
Killer stuff in the French Defence 08.09.2006 – The French Defence is very well
suited for players who do not have time to continuously keep up with latest
opening theory. You can focus on understanding of positional ideas and
strategy, rather than worry about tactics. Buy this new DVD training course
on the French
Defence by IM Ari Ziegler, or read this review.
Hans Tikkanen is Swedish Champion 2011 27.07.2011 – The last round of this year's
Swedish Championship was fraught with drama and excitement. Player A was
in the lead and needed a draw, player B was set for a GM norm if he drew
his final game against player C. Both A and B lost, and player C, newly
titled GM Hans Tikkanen, finished first. We have some wonderful analysis
by Ari Ziegler to play through in our final
report.

Videos: Felix Blohberger presents the surprise weapon 4…a6 in the Four Knights Game. Mihail Marin analyses the English Opening with 1.c4 e5 2.g3 g6 3.d4 exd4 4.Qxd4 Nf6 5.Bg2 Nc6. Plus the ‘Lucky bag’ featuring 37 analyses by Berg, Radjabov and others.
Renowned for its solidity and strategic soundness, it has been a cornerstone of the repertoires of elite grandmasters including Fabiano Caruana and Ian Nepomniachtchi, who relied on it successfully in the Candidates Tournament.
The Benko Gambit is back at the very highest level - and it's easy to see why. Black sacrifices a pawn to seize the initiative on the queenside, obtaining long-lasting pressure, active pieces and open files that make life difficult for White.
The Hyper-Accelerated Dragon is fast, from the very first moves, your bishop heads to g7, seizes the long diagonal, and turns into the most feared piece on the board.
It rewards players who love initiative and clear attacking plans.
