In this video course, twenty-nine examples with multiple questions are presented in the interactive format, which is ideal for a range of playing strengths. Step by step you will be taken through the complex positions.
This week we'll take a closer look at Ray Robson's spectacular victory against Jeffery Xiong's Petroff Defence. With the help of a sharp pawn sacrifice (a novelty!), White managed to build up a very promising attacking position.
