83rd Spanish Individual Championship

Ivan Salgado defeated Jose "Pepe" Cuenca with the black pieces in the final round to secure first place, and the title of Spanish Champion, for the second time. The only other players in striking distance drew their last round games. On top board, Daniel Forcen and David Anton played a back-and-forth battle in which both sides, missed chances, while on board three, Julen Luis Arizmendi's game never strayed far from equality.

The Queen's Gambit Accepted: A Repertoire for Black

In this DVD Sam Collins presents a repertoire for Black based on the Queen’s Gambit Accepted, 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4. Rather than get involved in the heavy theory of the Classical Main Line, the lynchpin of the repertoire is the active development of the queen’s bishop. The resulting positions have close similarities to the Nimzo Indian and Slav Defences, and Collins explains the way for Black to approach the middlegame with confidence based on a blockade and light square strategy. The resulting repertoire is solid, reliable, and suitable as either a main weapon or an occasional surprise choice. Video running time: 3 hours 30 min
