It's ... the Andrew Martin Radio ChessBase Show
Brazen
That is how the Latvian Gambit, 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 f5,
can accurately be described. I will not claim that the opening game of the
show busts this complex variation, but the recent game Kovacevic-Regancin puts
the ball very much in Black's court. Find out more by tuning in.
Checkmate
...is the theme of this week's competition. No, not some silly mate in eight
that the really clever guys can put on Fritz. Only by listening in will you
find out what I mean.
The Day Kasparov Quit
...is a great new book by Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam. It will be reviewed in this
week's show.

Geuzendam wins the confidence of Garry Kasparov, Miguel Najdorf, Vishy
Anand, Judit Polgar, David Bronstein, Hikaru Nakamura and many others. |
And the final score
...will this week be read by GM Bogdan Lalic, who demolishes the English –
symmetrically. His novelty 1.c4 g6 2.g3 Bg7 3.Bg2 c5 4.Nc3 Nc6 5.Nf3
e6 6.a3 Nge7 7.b4!? d5!
is well worth a look.
