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.
Eyes on Engel
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.
Each week, I bring you the latest trends, games and combinations from elite chess tournaments on Tuesday at 17:00 UTC (18:00 CET, 12 Noon EST).
I am going to discuss the action from the opening weekend of this year's Bundesliga and a special focus on a young talent I've not spoken about on the show: Luis Engel. He had a brilliant attacking game in Round 2 vs Nico Georgiadis.
But first, This ending is completely winning, but even Super GMs are capable of messing things up from time to time. White to play and win!
White to play - Try your moves!

And Action! - How to crown positional play by tactics

Lawrence Trent's latest
Read a 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.
Solution to the puzzle
79.b6 or 79.Rg5 are winning.
