"Simple yet aggressive!" Enjoy this new exciting DVD by Simon Williams. Let the famouns Grandmaster from England show you how to gain a very exciting yet well founded opening game with the London System (1.d4 d5 2.Bf4).
Still more Simon
Opening with the Chigorin shows your intention to play for a win right from the outset. After 2...Nc6 Black's pieces fly into the game putting pressure on White's position from a very early stage. This opening is ideal for the type of player who strives for an unconvential yet attacking game right from the start.
On another note, Simon recently published his newest video series on the "Colle-Koltanowski System".
Here's a teaser:
The Colle-Koltanowski system is very easy to learn, yet an extremely dangerous opening.
