Svitlana's Smart Moves - Episode 35

With Svitlana Demchenko and Arne Kaehler

Svitlana Demchenko is an 18-year-old, Canadian WIM and chess coach. Here and now, she will teach us plenty of smart moves on the board, ranging from tactics, strategies, openings, and anything else chess related. In the process, I'm happy to be available as a student at club player level, and pester the Women's International Master with questions. Anyone who wants to strengthen their chess skills is welcome to watch, and actively replay the positions from the video, on our chessboard.

 

If you like Svitlana's Smart moves, you will certainly enjoy her video lectures about "Surprising your opponents with the Lazy Sicilian", her first Fritztrainer "Understanding Material Imbalances", and her brand new Fritztrainer "The Scotch Game".

Surprising Your Opponents with the Lazy Sicilian

In just 60 minutes, you will be well-equipped with a surprise weapon, which will take most of your opponents out of book right from the start.

Understanding Material Imbalances

This DVD focuses on several types of material imbalances, such as Rook vs 2 Pieces, Queen vs 2 Rooks, and Queen vs Pieces.

The Scotch Game

Besides in-depth theory and exciting tactical exercises in the Scotch Game, this video course also includes a bonus section on the Scotch Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Bc4), a lively variation often leading to very dynamic positions.

Svitlana's Smart Moves - The King's Indian Part 2

5/20/2022 – In the first day of the Champions Chess Tour, Gawain Jones played the Kings Indian against Vidit Gujrathi because it is a very legit weapon. One of Svitlana's favourite openings deserves a second part, to get into some deeper strategic territory. What if White is castling on the queen side? We adjust our plans, and build up some important decisions. Svitlana analyses an interesting King's Indian game between Ivan Cheparinov, and Wang Yue!

Svitlana's Smart Moves - The King's Indian

5/12/2022 – The King's Indian is a very straight-forward, aggressive opening. Basically, Black builds up a system in the first couple of moves, and once it is set up, the attacking begins! White tries to counter on the queenside, in most cases. But please take a look at it all for yourself in this episode of "Svitlana's Smart Moves".

60m The London System

If you are looking for a new attacking plan against the popular Queen’s Gambit, then this download is for you. Completely new ideas after 1.d4 d5 2.Bf4 turn the solid London system into a serious weapon. New approaches and Fritz analyses will catch out an unprepared opponent. Henrik Danielsen used this system to win the Icelandic blitz championship in 2011. Some strong GMs and IMs didn't realise the danger before it was too late. Even after Black’s best defence White will be able to fight for an advantage. After watching 60 minutes you have a total opening plan against the Queen’s Gambit.
