Opening Repertoire: Nimzo and Bogo-Indian 10 I believe that the repertoire presented in this book is a good choice for the practical player, aiming to get decent positions without studying heaps of theoretical lines and ones that need to be memorized in a tedious process. The repertoire is fundamentally sound.

Openings #5: Flank Openings A review Continuing its best-selling series “ChessBase Openings Tutorials”, the fifth volume has been released covering the slightly enigmatic ‘Flank Openings’. The reason I call it enigmatic, is because contrary to the clear-cut ‘open games’ stemming from 1.e4 e5, or closed games from 1.d4 d5, flank openings are not so easily defined, and involve areas of development (the flanks obviously), as opposed to only two first moves.

Among the openings are respectable main streams such as the English Opening, the Dutch Defense, the Reti, as well as systems such as the King’s Indian Attack, not to mention more offbeat openings, still popular in club play, such as the Sokolsky (1.b4) or the Grob (1.g4).

The purpose of the tutorial series is to provide a summarized run-through of all these openings and lines in videos ranging from ten to fifteen minutes on average, allowing players still undecided on what opening they wish to invest in, to get a feel for the moves and ideas.

As in the previous volumes, there are two complete series of videos in both English and German, meaning that if you are able to follow both languages, you are getting 48 videos in all. Each series consists of 24 videos presented by experienced grandmasters and masters, and while they cover the same openings and lines, the variations chosen and even historic information, varies according to the presenter. For example, covering the Larsen Opening in English is IM Lawrence Trent, who explains that 1.b3 was originally introduced by Nimzowitsch in the 1920s, and its main value is that it is a sensible opening that will most likely force the opponent to think on his own. IM Lawrence Trent presents the Larsen Opening to the English speaking audience In the German video by IM Martin Breutigam we are told that it earned the name after Larsen brought it back to grandmaster practice in the 60s to great effect. Breutigam agrees that its main value is the good chance it has not been studied deeply by the opponent, and he emphasizes its flexibility.

All in all, it is clear that while one will certainly be well served by either IM Trent or IM Breutigam, together they will give a much more comprehensive picture. IM Martin Breutigam shares insights on the Larsen Opening with the German viewers Still, it must be said that the German viewers do have an advantage in at least two opening videos, notably the ones covering the Bird (1.f4) and the Sokolsky (1.b4). No disrespect meant to either IM Trent or FM Lilov who do a very creditable job, but they cannot compare to the charming IM Elizabeth Paetz. I’d recommend viewing them even if you don’t speak German. The lucky German viewers get to enjoy IM Elizabeth Paetz's friendly presentation Overall the video presentations provide a good overview of the various openings, providing the main theoretical lines as well as the main ideas behind them. The masters all have their own recommendations and style of presentation, but are clear and objective, and should allow the casual club player to use them to good effect, or learn enough to choose an opening for deeper study.

– Levon Aronian survived the pressure from Hikaru Nakamura, making a draw that ensured him a share of first place. He was somewhat surprisingly joined by Dmitry Jakovenko, who beat Maxime Vachier-Lagrave with the black pieces.

MVL was in a must win situation, so had to go for broke. All other games ended in draws including the remaining key game for the Candidates qualification: Teimour Radjabov vs. Richard Rapport. In the end Shakhriyar Mamedyarov and Alexander Grischuk maintained their lead in the overall Grand Prix standings and secured the final two Candidates tournament spots. Former World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik liked to play the French and once described it as a 'difficult and dangerous opening'. But in this 60 minutes video IM Andrew Martin suggests an aggressive and little-used idea of the renowned attacking player GM Viktor Kupreichik to counter the French: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 c5 4.c3 Nc6 5.Be3!?

Andrew Martin uses the games of Kupreichik to show why this line could catch many French aficionados unprepared and is very dangerous for Black. Attacking players will love this line and the unusual complications that it promotes.
