Whether you are taking your first steps into the world of serious chess training, or already playing at tournament level, FRITZ 20 will help you train more efficiently, intelligently and individually than ever before. 

GM trainer Dorian Rogozenko will discuss the "eternal problem" by showing examples and trying to explain when do we need to occupy open files with rooks and when it is best to avoid doing so. However, the main question will be when there are more open files in the center, which of them we need most for the rooks.
