Nigel's Radio Revs
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.
