Meet The Fritztrainer - Dorian Rogozenco

by Arne Kaehler
9/4/2022 – Finally, we can experience the very first Fritztrainer by GM Dorian Rogozenco. And what a Fritztrainer it is. More than 8 hours of material, featuring some of the greatest classical games ever played! Time to meet the Fritztrainer, and ask him what he is doing besides chess. As a little special, Dorian will give us a sneak peek of his Fritztrainer, and talk about the ideas, and inspirations of the classical games.
As the author explains in the introductory video, knowing the classic games from the past enriches your chess understanding in general, and helps to improve the level of your own games.
