by ChessBase
11/14/2023 – After Leon Mendonca lost against the GM Dog, it's Elisabeth Paehtz's turn to win a point for the humans! Unfortunately, the positional player, the owl, is programmed to play stable and solid. And even at strong club player level, the nocturnal bird can be a threat! However, Elli quickly gains a huge advantage with a well-known London System opening trick, which you can watch on one of her Fritztrainer's. But will it be enough? There is always the club chess player, and co-host Arne Kaehler to stir up weird move suggestions ...

60m Caro Kann Exchange Variation

The Exchange Variation (1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 cxd5 4.Bd3) is a simple and easy to learn answer to the Caro-Kann. By clarifying the central tension White gives himself a clear plan of attack using the half open e-file and the e5 square. This is far from easy for Black to meet as Bobby Fischer, Jan Timman, Walter Browne and other leading Grandmasters have demonstrated in their games. Black too has his resources but he needs to know what he's doing. On this DVD you will find a clear explanation of the strategy for both sides as well as answers to popular treatments such as 4...Nc6 5.c3 Qc7. Whilst the main focus is on the White side of this opening you will also find ways for Black to defend.
