Battery-driven

by Oliver Reeh
11/10/2017 – Some pieces spend the biggest part of a game asleep. Never mind — as long as they hear their wake-up call to spring into action! What do you suggest for White in the diagram position?

The Opening Encyclopaedia is a collection of opening article surveys from ChessBase Magazine, with the addition of a Big Database, and features complete coverage of all opening areas on a single DVD. It's the best possible introduction to opening training.

Suspended power

One of White's army is on standby, but will enter the fray to decisive and surprising effect. Tactical themes recur and can be internalized with practice. You have lots of opportunities to experience tactical motifs and hone your tactical eye in the extensive "Tune Your Tactics" show archive.
