This system is also examined by GM I.Stohl in ChessBase
Magazine 118 and by GM D.Rogozenko in ChessBase
Magazine 120. This DVD from Rustam Kasimdzhanov offers more information,
for example the book 'Play the Semi-Slav' from David Vigorito, Quality Chess
2008. Running time is nearly four hours.
Conclusion: Thrilling!
| GM Rustam Kasimdzhanov invites you to a small four-hour chess course, taking you into the world of chess strategy with its specific terms, such as dark squares, initiative, pawn majorities, outposts, etc. This all is well explained in Kasimdzhanov's own games, where he provides the user with six impressive examples, starting with his impressive win over Anand. As Kasimdzhanov instructively explains, in these games it is all a matter of controlling the squares. For the interested reader here are the games (without the notes from our old world champion). |
Kasimdzhanov,Rustam (2670) - Anand,Viswanathan (2788) [B90] FIDE-Wch San Luis (4), 01.10.2005 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Be3 Ng4 7.Bg5 h6 8.Bh4 g5 9.Bg3 Bg7 10.h3 Ne5 11.Nf5 Bxf5 12.exf5 Nbc6 13.Nd5 e6 14.fxe6 fxe6 15.Ne3 0-0 16.Be2 Qe7 17.0-0 Rad8 18.Bh5 Kh8 19.Re1 d5 20.a4 Nc4 21.Nxc4 dxc4 22.Qg4 Qb4 23.Qxe6 Rd2 24.Rad1 Nd4 25.Qe4 Nf5 26.Be5 Rxf2 27.Bf3 Rd2 28.Bxg7+ Kxg7 29.Qe5+ Rf6 30.a5 Nh4 31.Qc7+ Rf7 32.Qe5+ Rf6 33.Bh5 Ng6 34.Bxg6 Rxd1 35.Rxd1 Kxg6 36.Qe4+ Kg7 37.Rd7+ Kg8 38.Qh7+ 1-0
Besides the natural ideas in this game please also see the move 18.Bh5! This position is clearly explained with a lot of instructive words. In his home preparation Rustam Kasimdzhanov came up with this brilliant winning move. Ftacnik wrote at the time in ChessBase Magazines: Kasimdzhanov has done his homework and is well informed about the nuances of the position. His new move strives to prevent relocation of the black knight to f4 square. This is certainly one of Kasimdzhanov’s ever best games!
Typical isolated pawn positions are instructively explained in the game Kasimdzhanov against Viktor Bologan, Pamplona, 27.12.2002 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Nc3 Be7 5.Bg5 h6 6.Bh4 0-0 7.e3 b6 8.cxd5 Nxd5 9.Bxe7 Qxe7 10.Nxd5 exd5 11.Rc1 Be6 12.Qa4 c5 13.Qa3 Rc8 14.Be2 a5 15.dxc5 Rxc5 16.0-0 Nc6 17.Qa4 Rc8 18.Rxc5 Qxc5 19.Bb5 Na7 20.Ba6 Rd8 21.Qh4 Re8 22.Bd3 Nc6 23.a3 b5 24.h3 b4 25.a4 b3 26.Bb5 Rc8 27.Qf4 Qc2 28.Bxc6 Qxc6 29.Nd4 Qc7 30.Qxc7 Rxc7 31.Ra1 Kf8 32.Nxb3 Rb7 33.Nxa5 Rxb2 34.Nc6 Bd7 35.Nd4 Ke7 36.a5 Kd6 37.g4 Kc7 38.Rc1+ Kd6 39.Ra1 Kc7 40.Kg2 Kb7 41.Rc1 Ra2 42.Rc5 Be6 43.Kg3 Ka6 44.Rc7 1-0
As with the game Kazimdzhanov-Anand this game is also split into two large multimedia files.
Conclusion: GM Rustam Kasimdzhanov had managed to create a highly instructive strategy course where all important strategy points get full attention!
