NEW from Nicholas Pert: A Sicilian Stunner - The Kalashnikov

by ChessBase Shop
7/14/2019 – The Kalashnikov is a favourite weapon of the main line of the Sicilian Defence. It is closely related to the Sveshnikov but with much less theory to learn. GM NICK PERT explores this increasingly popular opening that is easy to pick up and can usually gives Black quick and smooth development. Many of the ideas are thematic and Black can achieve attacking positions in several of the variations. The lines have all been thoroughly checked and will hopefully provide the viewer with the confidence to play this opening.

Beating the French According to Viktor Kupreichik

Former World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik liked to play the French and once described it as a 'difficult and dangerous opening'. But in this 60 minutes video IM Andrew Martin suggests an aggressive and little-used idea of the renowned attacking player GM Viktor Kupreichik to counter the French: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 c5 4.c3 Nc6 5.Be3!?. Andrew Martin uses the games of Kupreichik to show why this line could catch many French aficionados unprepared and is very dangerous for Black. Attacking players will love this line and the unusual complications that it promotes.
