Daniel King: Power Play Show
Hello, my name is Danial King. I'd like to invite you to join me for the Power
Play Show this Thursday evening. Tonight I'm going to be examining a very tricky
opening idea, in this so-called Torre Attack, where the bishop comes out to
g5.
Now, this opening variation has a bit of a stodgy
reputation. It's quite popular at club level, but you don't often see it in
grandmaster chess. However, there was a recent game that contained a very, very
tricky opening idea, which I would like to examine tonight. So catch it before
it catches you!
See you tonight for the Power Play Show – eight p.m. server time, seven
p.m. UK time. See you then!
Power
Play 16 – Test Your Rook Endgame
The aim of this DVD is to provide you with the practical skills and knowledge
that you will need to play a rook and pawn endgame. Based on his own playing
experience, grandmaster Daniel King reveals what is essential knowledge, saving
you time in your studies. The first section of the DVD compromises some basics
– common positions you simply must understand if you enter a rook and
pawn endgame, such as rook and pawn against rook. In the second section common
scenarios are discussed, for example, endgames with all pawns on one wing, and
endgames where one side has an extra pawn on one side of the board. In the third
section you can gauge your knowledge by studying some specially prepared test
positions. The Power Play series is suitable for anyone looking to improve their
chess, but also provides ready-made lessons and exercises for a trainer. Video
running time: five hours.
