May 18th 2008: Last week Nigel Davies showed us how effective aggression can be at club level. Looking at typical responses to gambits and other tricky lines he explained how these tend to dominate opening selection and give a psychological edge to players willing to chance their arm.
In this week's show, Nigel looks at the other side of the coin and gives guidance about how one should try to neutralise tricky opening lines and gambits. A special feature is guidance about which openings to play in order to avoid potential pitfalls.

Davies' Radio Revs is aimed directly at helping players improve. In this weekly
show Nigel examines various aspects of chess relevant to the club player, showing
a variety of plans that can be used in your own games whilst relating them to
the opening. He also deal with practical issues like psychology and just finding
time for chess.
Radio Revs is truly interactive; besides asking questions online you can send Nigel questions and games via his web site and discuss previous shows there too. Archived shows are also available making Radio Revs a complete course of chess instruction.
An International Grandmaster and former British Junior and British Open Quickplay Champion, Nigel has won some 15 International Tournaments during his 35 year career. Nigel has enjoyed considerable success as a coach, working with several young players breaking through and gaining the GM title. But he regards his main achievement as having helped many club players get better, long after they'd given up hope of doing so!
Nigel Davies promises: "I will be drawing on my experience to address issues which affect club players. My views tend to be a bit different, which is why they may come as revelations to the audience (thus the name of the show, 'Nigel's Radio Revs'). It is worthwhile noting that people can send me questions by using the address on the contact page at my TigerChess web site."
