YOUR PERSONAL CHESS COACH - Whether you’re taking your first steps into the world of club chess, or already playing at a tournament level: with FRITZ, you can train more efficiently, intelligently and with a more personalised approach than ever before.
FRITZ is more than just a chess engine – it’s a training revolution! Whether you’re taking your first steps into the world of club chess, or already playing at a tournament level: with FRITZ, you can train more efficiently, intelligently and with a more personalised approach than ever before.

Dorian writes: "My lecture will be about the positional exchange sacrifice. Many people know that Petrosian was a real master of it, but my purpose is slightly different – besides reminding people of the the well-known examples, I want to present the positional exchange sacrifice in some modern games. Sometimes it happens 'out of the blue' and it is important to understand what is going on: why apparently for no reason people sacrifice an exchange? Usually it turnes out that there are deep strategical ideas behind it."

GM Dorian Rogozenko's lectures begin at 21:00h server time (= MET, Middle European Time), which translates to 20:00h London and 3 p.m. New York. You can use Fritz or any Fritz-compatible program (Shredder, Junior, Tiger, Hiarcs) to follow the lectures, or download a free trial client here.
