3/3/2025 – After almost twenty years, Rainer Knaak handed over his CBM column ‘Topical opening traps’ to Micheal Prusikin at the end of last year. With the new author, not only the face but also the concept of the section has changed: Michael Prusikin will regularly present three traps from a specific opening in video form in his articles. The current ChessBase Magazine #224 starts with three traps for White in the French Advance Variation. You can watch his first contribution to CBM with all three videos this week as a free sample directly in your web browser in the ChessBase Books format - enjoy!
