Andrew Martin: The surprising Black Knights' Tango
Andrew Martin, a perennial favourite among video course authors, focuses on a surprise opening. The development of both knights for Black against 1.d4. Often used as a surprise weapon, this opening is more popular than ever, especially at the club level. In a way that is familiar for Martin, model games are shown to illustrate plans and ideas in the opening. The point is not to learn long computer variations by heart.
Interactive exercises are a must with Andrew Martin. Finally, you can still practise theory. With the opening trainer, you can replay the variations shown by Martin and get excellent practice.
Free video lecture: 3...Ne5 4.e3 e6 5.Nc3 Bb4 6.Bd2 0-0

Tim Wall: Countering the Ruy Lopez with the Fighting Modern Steinitz
A new author in the ChessBase sky: FIDE Master Tim Wall! The British trainer and author from Newcastle is an advocate of the modern Steinitz Defence. What's interesting about this video course is that you always have the choice of whether you prefer to play the attacking repertoire or the quiet variation.
The model games of Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana prove that the line is also played at the top level. Follow in the great footsteps and prove at the board that the Ruy Lopez does not have to be feared.
As usual, there are plenty of training opportunities waiting for you here in addition to the videos. Whether you want to practise the repertoire, play out middlegame positions or solve interactive exercises, the choice is yours!

The Modern Steinitz (1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5 a6 4 Ba4 d6!?) is an uncompromising counterattacking weapon that lets Black put White under pressure from the very start.
