How to coach with ChessBase - Dorian Rogozenco: Master Your Chess with ChessBase Tools

11/8/2025 – GM Dorian Rogozenco explains how coaches can use ChessBase to analyse and improve both their students’ and their own games.

Using the search mask in the Mega Database, coaches can then find instructive games that target specific themes (like king attacks or positional play) and build customized training material. Rogozenco emphasizes combining personal experience with ChessBase’s tools to create effective, theme-based lessons that develop a player’s strategic understanding and practical skill.

60m English New ideas in the Najdorf_E

‘New ideas in the Najdorf – a Power Play 18 Update’ aims to complement Daniel King’s popular DVD from last year ‘The Sicilian Najdorf - a repertoire for Black’. Such a dynamic and popular opening as the Najdorf is developing the whole time. On this download, Daniel King updates lines that were included on his DVD but also responds to viewers’ requests, considering lines that he omitted from his original repertoire. The lines examined on this update are: • 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 a6 6 h3 e5 7 Nde2 • 5….a6 6 Bc4 in combination with the English Attack (Be3, f3 etc) • 5…a6 6 Be3 and the …a5 variation • 5…a6 6 Be2 and 9 Re1 • 5 f3 (instead of 5 Nc3) It isn’t necessary to have seen the original Najdorf DVD to understand the lines examined here – but it would help as they form part of a complete repertoire.
