The Pirc is an aggressive defence based on counter attack and there for
it is important to play the best lines and this DVD is a
fine example from well thought repertoire lines as for example I found
games as: Timman,Jan H (2639) - Marin,Mihail (2557) [B09]

When I returned to the board after a short walk, I saw the move 27.c4
While I was sitting down, Timman looked at me with the
most charming smile one could imagine and offered a draw.
Somehow, I looked at the position statically and after a while decided
it
would not be easy to unblock it. But I completely forgot to take into
account which had been the last move! I was very surprized when
months later Mircea Pavlov asked me why did I not play 27...dxc3! more
or less winning. You can also notice that in my initial comment
(asisted by my friend Dorian Rogozenco) there is no mention about it...

The former chess prodigy Grandmaster Parimarjan Negi does not
only come with an excellent explanation of the good old Scotch opening,
but provides the
user with a lot of latest developments written for both sides of the
board!
A nice example of his analyses is for example: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4

ChessBase Magazine issue 161 extra comes with a unbelievable amount
of 35.205 games,all played betweenJune and August of this

The user shall find here games from famous and less famous chessplayers
as for example the following Latvian game played at the latest
Irish Championship:
Butler,Kevin (2026) - King,Melvyn (1874) [C40]
IRL-ch Dublin (2), 06.07.2014
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5 3.Nxe5 Qf6 4.d4 d6 5.Nc4 fxe4 6.Ne3 c6 7.Bc4 d5 8.Bb3

Kd4 47.b7 Rf8 48.Kb4 Rb8 49.Ka5 Kxc4 50.Ka6 1-0.
The black player was not so successful with the move 2…f5 as we can see
in his other black game but I hope he continues and the
wins will come: Freeman,Gordon (2077) - King,Melvyn (1874) [C40]
IRL-ch Dublin (3), 07.07.2014
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5 3.Nxe5 Qf6 4.d4 d6 5.Nc4 fxe4 6.Nc3 Bf5 7.Be2 Qf7
8.0-0 Nf6 9.f3 exf3 10.Rxf3 Be6 11.d5 Bxd5
12.Rxf6 gxf6 13.Nxd5 Kd8 14.Bh5 Qg7 15.Qe2 Be7 16.Bh6 Qxh6 17.Qxe7+ Kc8
18.Qxc7# 1-0.
Anyway black’s play can easy be improved.
The great video files go to: Alexei Shirov who shows a game against
Andrei Volokitin in the famous Kalashnikov variation of the
Sicilian 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e5, Valeri Lilov goes for
the game Jobava-Mamedyarov, Beijing 2012.
And Robert Ris goes back in time with the classic:
Chigorin-Zukertort, London 1883.
Conclusion: Super material for a bargain price!
