Rustam Kasimdzhanov:
Trends in modern openings

Ex-FIDE World Champion Rustam Kasimzhanov is considered one of the leading experts in the field of opening preparation. In three World Championship matches he was the second of Viswanathan Anand and helped him to successfully defend the title. And with Kasimdzhanov’s help and excellent opening preparation the German team surprisingly became European Team Champion 2011.

On this DVD Kasimdzhanov presents highly topical openings and shows the current state of theory. From the perspective of a top player he explains why certain openings are played while others have more or less vanished from tournament practice.

This DVD helps you to remain up-to-date in a number of important and popular openings and provides you with many ideas for your own repertoire. With tips for the Najdorf Variation, Caro-Kann, the Berlin Defense, Ruy Lopez Main Line with 6.d3, Ruy Lopez with 3…g6, Scotch Opening, Petroff, Queen’s Gambit Declined with 4…Nbd7, Main Line Slav, Ragosin Variation and Black Double Fianchetto against 1.d4.

More than 20 videos with about four hours running time and interactive test at the end.
