News Review - Giuoco Piano vs. 1.c4, Nihal unstoppable, and chess on Mars!

by Arne Kaehler
7/9/2021 – Lawrence Trent is looking forward to Sunday, when Italy will face England in the Euro 2020 final. But there is more to come, like the no-castling chess event in Dortmund and, of course, the World Cup in Sochi. Trent and Arne Kaehler talk about Nihal Sarin, who keeps on winning tournaments; Pia Cramling, who is not far away from winning the Swedish Championship, and Ian Nepomniachtchi, who is dominating in Croatia. Furthermore, we talk about the English opening 1.c4, and dive into the "Chess Train" events. Will we ever be able to play chess on Mars?
On this DVD IM Trent shows the Albin Counter-Gambit (1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5). Trent found a number of extremely dangerous Theoretical Novelties which will truly put the Albin Counter-Gambit back on the map.
