The Bombastic Bird's - an energetic and exciting repertoire after 1.f4
Welcome to the Bombastic Bird's, a revolutionary repertoire for one of the most enterprising and underrated openings in chess theory (1.f4). In this series, IM Lawrence Trent uncovers a number of groundbreaking theoretical novelties and new ideas that will soon have scorners of this romantic system regretting they ever doubted its soundness.
Teplice Open
The Scotch Gambit is a brazen yet utterly sound system for White who immediately opens up the position, by sacrificing a central pawn, in an attempt to assassinate the enemy king as quickly as possible.

Going to be doing a roundup of some of the big opens going on especially the Teplice Open and a great game by GM Saloman against the Accelerated Dragon. Does his system really pose a threat to the entire opening?

Lawrence Trent's latest
Read a recent review of Trent's previous FritzTrainer on the "Baffling b3 Sicilian"!
Make life difficult for the Sicilian! 2.b3 is a thoroughly venomous but still solid kind of "Anti-Sicilian". No matter what setup black chooses, the bishop on b2 will always be unpleasant for him.
