The Amazing Albin Counter-Gambit
On this DVD IM Trent shows the Albin Counter-Gambit (1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5). Trent found a number of extremely dangerous Theoretical Novelties which will truly put the Albin Counter-Gambit back on the map.
Lawrence Trent takes us through the world of tactics. Every new episode, he is teaching us a new tactical motif, which his co-host Arne Kaehler tries to solve.
The viewer is encouraged to actively participate in the tactics, stop the video, and try to solve the chess problems on their own.
The second part of "Trent's Tactics" dives straight into the ChessBase training section. Each episode, the two try to solve the tactics, and together with you, the viewer, embark on a long journey to brush up the score.
The ChessBase News Review Banner still shines in the background, but only for the first part of this episode.
Don't forget: The bottom-right corner of the board indicates the colour to move!
The Scotch Gambit is a brazen yet utterly sound system for White who immediately opens up the position, by sacrificing a central pawn, in an attempt to assassinate the enemy king as quickly as possible.
