IM Jacob Aagaard is one of the best known chess writers.
His personal favourites among his own works are Excelling at Chess Calculation
and Excelling at Technical Chess, both published by Everyman Chess,
as well as Experts vs. the Sicilian by Quality Chess Europe and Attacking
Chess 1&2 (CDs) by Chessbase. Jacob has in 2004 made three GM norms and
hopes to gain the necessary 50 Elo points for the GM title in 2005.
IM John Shaw has written two books for Everyman Chess and
co-edited Experts vs. the Sicilian. He has represented Scotland on
many occasions, recently in the Olympiad in Calvià, where he obtained his second
GM-norm. As John has once had 2500 in Elo, it is his hope that he will complete
his Grandmaster title in 2005 with a third GM-norm.
Together with Jacob, John constitutes two thirds of the new chess publisher
Quality Chess Europe which has
published Experts vs. the Sicilian by ten different authors and Learn
from the Legends – Chess Champions at their Best by Romanian GM Mihail
Marin.
On recent training DVDs GM Jacob Aagaard uses our new Chess Media System to
teach the most important principles of positional play. His DVD lectures deal
with weak squares, good and bad pieces, prophylaxis, pawn weaknesses, and much,
much more. They are concepts which belong in the toolbox of every chess player.
The lectures are followed by exercises, in which you have to look for solutions
yourself. There are hours of high class video training on each DVD. Price:
€ 29.99.
