Master Class Tactics - Train your combination skills! Vol.3

with Oliver Reeh

On this FritzTrainer, IM Oliver Reeh has compiled his favourites from the CBM column "Tune your Tactics" issues 209 to 218.

In a total of 38 interactive video clips and more than 150 video questions, he explains the aspects of the position in question and then invites you to enter the correct continuation. If you ever get completely lost, a little hint will help you on your way. The quick feedback shows whether or not you found the solution.

Following on, the next move is asked for because, with demanding combinations, the first step alone is not sufficient. Finally, Reeh lets you review everything again so that the patterns and motifs can be fully understood. Whether it's a mating attack, material gain, power play or killer moves, this FritzTrainer will help you develop tactical acumen and increase your calculation ability - so that you simply find more tactical shots during your own games!

60m English The Elephant Gambit

The Elephant Gambit (1.e4.e5 2.Nf3 d5!?) has never really been given the attention it deserves. It is a very useful surprise weapon. Let us list the advantages of playing this particular opening: 1) Shock value 2) It is very aggressive. Black can take over the initiative early. 3) Many tricky lines 4) Unorthodox. Black is basically taking the game to the opponent as early as move two. Not many openings do that! It's a perfect opening for young players and club players to adopt. Let Andrew Martin select a repertoire for you on this 60 mins, which, if used with discretion, will rack up the points. I am sure that you will enjoy this unusual tour of the Elephant Gambit.
