Playing what you preach

11/24/2014 – Did you ever wonder how honest grandmasters are when making opening recommendations? Do they really believe in the lines they advertise? GM Mihail Marin does. In fact, after publishing two DVDs on "his perennial" love, the Pirc, he felt that he did not play the opening often enough. He soon had a chance to rekindle his passion - and scored a fine victory.

An Anti-Sicilian Repertoire

Tired of spending hours and hours on the boring theory of your favourite opening? Then here is your solution, play an Anti-Sicilian with 3.Bb5 against 2...d6 or 2...Nc6, and 3.d3 against 2...e6. In 60 minutes you will get a crash course in how to avoid mainstream theory and in understanding the ideas of this Anti-Sicilian setup. After these 60 minutes you should be able to survive the Sicilian for a long time, without being bothered by new developments found by engine x supported by an x-core machine. Now that it finally comes down to understanding, let's play chess!
