Always wanted to play like a World Champion? Search no further! With Magnus Carlsen using the Sveshnikov variation as his weapon of choice in the World Championship match against Fabiano Caruana, this DVD could not be better timed.

Game of the Week #390

In the past weekend I played second Bundesliga in Berlin with my Hamburg team HSK 2, and in fact we lost both matches. Especially on Sunday, it was a very tense affair, and we missed several good opportunities to score more with the team. Personally, I drew my game against Dawid Janaszak and the missed chances kept going through my mind in the past days. Instructive stuff, I believe, and we'll discuss it tonight.

The live show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium accounts.
