NEW: Simon Williams: The Colle–Koltanowski System and Torre Attack

Two new video series from the 'Ginger GM'

Grandmaster Simon Williams has authored two new video series that complement his earlier best seller on the London System. Armed with these interrelated systems, the club player will be well-prepared to take on any challenger in this constellation of openings.

Simon Williams: The Torre Attack

The Torre Attack is an extremely effective way of taking your opponent into an uncomfortable situation right from move one. White plays three simple moves 1.d4 2.♘f3 and 3.♗g5, avoiding a lot of dangerous variations that Black can often play against 1.d4 and 2.c4. This opening is perfect for players who do not have unlimited time to memorise hours and hours of theory. In this DVD, GM Simon Williams shows you how to play this opening in an aggressive yet simple way, while concentrating on making learning fun yet effective. The Torre Attack works perfectly against most systems and will be a perfect accompanying DVD to the London System or Colle.

Simon Williams: The Colle–Koltanowski System

A real favourite among club players. The Colle-Koltanowski system is very easy to learn, yet an extremely dangerous opening. White goes for a simple set up, aiming all of his pieces towards Black’s kingside. White doesn’t need to rely on learning reams of opening theory to master this opening, therefore suiting players who do not want to spend their entire spare time reading, watching and learning thirty moves of theory. In this DVD, GM Simon Williams shows you the key themes, concentrating on plans that you can remember easily. This approach should give you a deadly weapon that is a brilliant accompanying DVD to the London System and Torre Attack.
