Junior 10 was in 2006 the Computer Chess World Champion, in
2003
Junior played a smashing 3-3 match against the strongest player of all
time,the legendary Garry Kasparov.Now we are looking at Junior 12
completely rewritten by his programmer
Amir Ban and Shay Bushinsky.
The success of Junior lays in it’s
generalization of search extensions,
which makes him,compared with Fritz or Rybka a tactical
monster.
Programmer Amir Ban and Shay Bushinsky have managed to increase
the
player strength of Junior with a small 200 elo points and that is
compared
with Junior 10 a impressive jump forwards!
I remember that Tim Harding used Junior for analyses on his Marshall
Gambit CD,because it the only engine that sacrifices material for
initiative, and that makes him the
perfect companion for dynamic gambit lines!
A fine example is the move order : 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6
5.0-0
Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 0-0 8.c3 d5 9.exd5 Nxd5 10.Nxe5 Nxe5 11.Rxe5 c6
12.d4 Bd6 13.Re1 Qh4 14.g3 Qh3 and now Junior is able to come
directly with
moves as 15.Re4 and 15…g5!.
Junior 12 comes with the Fritz interface, the latest openings book from
GM Alon Greenfeld good for 511 MB!, database from over 1.5 million
chess gamesand one
year free access to the Playchess.com server.With Junior you can open
chess media trainings files and even
play around with the Magic eye,this magic eye shows what the program is
currently calculating.
Junior includes several eye catching 3 D boards.
Conclusion: Certainly one of the most interesting chess engines of
this
moment!

M Jan Gustafsson from Hamburg provides the user of this DVD with a
compressive repertoire for black against 1.e4 except the Marshall
Gambit which is covered in his volume one.Please see
http://chessbooks.nl/elburg152.html
Gustafsson provides you in two languages English and German various
video files based on various deviations which white may employ at the
4th,5th,or
6th move to avoid the Marshall Attack.
But also other openings as the King’s Gambit,Italian game,Middle
Gambit,Ponziani,Vienna,Four Knights are getting all a very important
turn from our well speaking German chess grandmaster.
For example in the Spanish Exchange,Gustafsson goes for the move: 1.e4
e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.0-0 Qf6
and in the delayed Exchange he prefers the knight move1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6
3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Bxc6 dxc6 7.d3 Nd7.
And for all who are afraid of the King’s Gambit try to play like
Ivanchuk:
Nakamura,Hikaru (2733) - Ivanchuk,Vassily (2754) [C38]
Cap d'Agde CCAS Trophee KO Cap d'Agde (3.2), 31.10.2010

½-½ 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5!
By the way this line goes back to our first chess prodigy Gioacchino
Greco: ,Gioacchino - NN
Europe, 1620
1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4 Bg7 5.h4 g4 6.Ng5 Nh6 7.d4 d6 8.Bxf4

15.Bxd7+ 1-0.
Greco came from a very poor family,and his early childhood was without
much fun.
Though his family couldn’t even afford school,the remarkable Greco
managed to learn chess at the age of 8-and by the age of 10 he play was
known in whole Italy!
Conclusion: Overloaded with well
thought repertoire lines!

The educative speaking IM Andrew Martin comes with an excellent
update of his 2007 DVD that runs with the moves: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3
Nf6 4.Nc3 a6!
Martin has included nine new games as the following one from our wonder
boy Magnus Carlsen: (2770) - Wang Yue (2738) [D15] Sofia MTel Masters
5th Sofia (9), 22.05.2009
1.c4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 a6 5.c5 Bf5 6.Nh4 Bg6 7.Bf4 Nbd7 8.Nxg6
hxg6 9.h3 b6 10.cxb6 Qxb6 11.Rb1 e6 12.e3 c5 13.a3 Bd6 14.Na4 Qc7

33.Bc6 Raa7 34.Bb7 1-0,as we can learn from Andrew Martin black did
well till move 19,and Martin gives as alternative: 20...d4 21.Qxd4
(21.exd4 Qh5+ 22.g4 Qd5) 21...Qxd4 22.exd4 Rhd8 23.Rhc1 (23.Ke3 Nd5+
24.Kf3 Nf6) 23...Rxd4 24.Rc7+ Rd7 25.Rxd7+ Kxd7 with excellent play.
By the way Scherbakov gave in ChessPublishing com: 19...Rhc8!? was more
accurate. Then after 20.Ke2 (20.0-0 a5!?) 20...Qb6 21.b4 Black could
have obtained good counter play by 21...d4" (or 21...e5" ).
Inplace of 5.c5 white cab also go for 5.g3 but as we can see in the
following game,that black does not have to fear it: Kelecevic,Nedeljko
(2316) - Fargere,Francois (2444) [D15]
SUI-chT Switzerland (4.4), 10.05.2009
1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.c4 c6 4.Nc3 a6 5.a4 e6 6.g3 dxc4 7.Bg2 c5 8.dxc5
Qxd1+ 9.Nxd1 Bxc5 10.Ne5 Nd5 11.Nxc4 Nc6 12.e3 Bd7 13.0-0 Ke7 14.a5

39.Kxg3 Ne5 40.Ba4 Rc3+ 41.Kg2 Rd3 42.Nb7 Kg5 43.Kf2 Kxh5 44.Ke2 f4 0-1.
All together Andrew Martin offers with his 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6
4.Nc3 a6! A very interesting alternative in the Modern Slav!

{After 7.Qc2 Borvinnink wrote in his famous Best Games 1957-1970; For
the first time I was not in a hurry to develop my king’s knight,in
order to decide this guestion later,depending on circumstances,please
also see his 11.f3!}

Kasparov wrote after 3…Be7:A relatively modern idea to avoid the
classical Carlsbad system and transpose the game into the Queen's
Gambit Declined with a knight already developed on f3. This somewhat
limits White's opportunities.
Kasparov had a lot of success with his Nge2 and f3 as we can see in his
game against Short:
Kasparov,Garry (2750) - Short,Nigel D (2630) [D31]

Grandmaster Adrian Mikhalchishin handles here in “Strategy
University, Vol 1: The Central Approach” the power of the pawn.
From Philidor we did learn that the pawns are the soul of the game,but
Mikhalchishin digs more in the power of the pawns and the use of pieces
in the centre.
This all is very well explained by the hand of some classic beauties as

Larry Evans wrote: Letelier transgresses opening principles by
neglecting his development but as we can learn from Mikhalchishin there
is al lot more of that to learn in this game!
Usually there is often only one chapter in a strategy book on pawns as
for instance Max Euwe his book Judgement and Planning in Chess but
what Mikhalchishin is doing here on his DVD is really impressive.
Just play throw these remarkable games and let the instructive words
from Mikhalchishin come to you eyes and I can insure you,this DVD
will improve your playing strength in a impressive way!
Playing time is nearly 4 hours.
Conclusion: It is not easy to find such highly instructive chess
material on pawn play!
