Father and son Sveshnikov provide the reader of this book with a well
thought and creative repertoire concept, based on so called blitz
and rapid repertoire where some would say of beats lines as the French
Defence with 1.e4 e6 2.Nf3 d5 3.Nc3,close related to the 1.e4 c6 2.Nc3
d5,which was once the pet line of the great Bobby Fischer.
Nimzowitsch his move b3 is recommended against the Sicilian but than
after 1.e4 c5 2.b3,this is all well covered with over 58 pages of text.
Once the Finnish master Westerinen made some fine wins with it in the
early seventies and when I am not mistaken he even outplayed Stein at
Tallinn 1971 with it.
Exciting are the various lines of the Vienna game with variations as
1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Bc5 3.f4 d6 4.Nf3 Nf6 5.Bc4 Nc6 6.d3 which is the main
position of the 2…Bc5 variation. It can also arise via the Bishop’s
Opening 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 or the King’s Gambit.
It can get razor sharp here as we can see in model game 96:
Hervet,Gilles (FRA) (2452) - Rosenheim,Klaus (2409) [C30]

51.Kb2 Rd1 52.Rh4 Kc6 53.d4 Kd5 54.Kc3 Kc6 55.Kc4 Rc1 56.c3 1-0.
This game is well explained with nearly four pages of text! As the both
Sveshnikov’s explain after 6…Ng4!? 7.Ng5! A sharp conflict from the
first moves!Black tries to brake through to the square f2,but white
does not think about defences!
Included in this section are also lines with 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.f4 as
the authors explain in the foreword 3.Bc4 allows black to make a draw
after 2…Nf6 with 3…Nxe4! So in this book they are searching practical
ways to play for a win in blitz and rapid play and go for the old line
3.f4.
A major part of this book is devided to the Queen’s Gambit Accepted and
don’t fear to go for lines as 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.e4 e5 4.Nf3 exd4
5.Bxc4 Nc6 6.0-0 Be6 7.Bb5 Bc5 8.Nbd2 Ne7 or even the more solid
continuation 8….Qd6!?
107 pages of this book go the good old Alekhine Defence,and as we can
see in this book black does have to fear the Four Pawns Attack!
And after 1.e4 Nf6 2.e5 Nd5 3.d4 d6 4.Nf3 dxe5 5.Nxe5 the two
Sveshnikov’s go for the move 5…c6!
The following model game from young Vladimir is good for nearly eight
pages of instructive text!

Khalifman suggested in his famous openings books Opening With White
According to Anand the move 9.a3 but as the Sveshnikov’s explain latest
correspondence games show us this move leads to nothing.
Conclusion: One of the best off

This new master class DVD on Karpov is good for nearly
4000 games where many of them are more than well analysed.
But there is more as a short biography of this outstanding player who
dominated the chess world for a quarter of a century and showed in that
time,no sign
of weakening.
Anatoly Karpov was born in 1951 in Zlatoust in the Ural Mountains and
learned chess when he was 4 years old,and made study progress until at
the age of 13,when he became under the chess authorities in Moscow. He
received some coaching from Botvinnik and from Semion Furman 1920-78
who became later Karpov’s long term trainer and mentor.
Included beside the game file is a short biography, training
positions,7 hour video file with video feed back and self tests.
Included is powerbook with Karpov’s repertoire as an opening tree.
Karpov played 102 games with the Dutch Jam Timman who was 1982 number
two of the world just behind Karpov,in 1978 he won his first game on
Karpov and his second one in 1982,between this lays a collection of 21
games and says thing of Karpov’s outstanding talent.One of Karpov’s
greatest win goes to the following game where Korchnoi decides to come
out fighting against his young opponent in this seond game of the
Candidates match of 1974,where Korchnoi goes for one the sharpest
opening lines in his repertore,but Karpov replies with a powerful
prepared novelty: Karpov,Anatoly (2700) - Kortschnoj,Viktor (2670) [B78]

4…fxe4?? is by the way a big mistake but sometimes you need luck
in the Latvian Gambit!
Super as always are the video files with Robert Ris who digs in
the classic game Petrosian-Kortschnoj, candidates match 1977, Sergei
Tiviakov shows us in a instructive way how he outplayed Pavel
Eljanov in Montreal 2007 and at last the great Adrian Mikhalchishin’s
who explains the early capture on c6 in the feared Paulsen System.
Conclusion: Super material for a bargain price!
