Grandmaster Viktor
Bologan does not only explain the Modern Pirc with it’s
specific strategies but provides the user of this DVD with a complete
black
repertoire, and that makes it all so super to have!
Between Keen’s master work The Modern Defence and this magnificent work
from Viktor Bologan lays a time zone from nearly 50 years and that can
be
seen in the explanations of Bologan who has changed the Modern Pirc in
a kind of Caro-Kann snake.
In big lines the user must learn to manoeuvre with the black pieces as
Bologan did in the New York Open of 1997,where he won four times with
the
Modern Defence!
A fine example of latest play is: Morozevich,Alexander (2683) -
Bologan,Viktor (2640) [B06]

The phenomenal Alexei Shirov who reached the 2700 level before the age
of 20 explains in his latest DVD the advantages of the move 1.e4 e5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.Bb5 Nf6 4.0-0 Nxe4 5.Re1!
The Berlin Wall expert John Cox once wrote in his book The Berlin
Wall:This continuation leads to simpler sort of game than the main
endgame line.
Black’s defensive methods have neither needed nor received much
refinement since the Steinitz Zukertort match of 1886.,but there are
certain tactical
traps which continue to claim victims, and, as such eminent players as
Peter Heine Nielsen and Jan Timman have discovered.
Pleasant to mention on this DVD are the white Shirov games as for
example his games against Caruana Latvia – Italy 2014,Shirov – Kramnik
Novosibirsk 2015 {won by Shirov!}and more!
GM Alexei Shirov does not only provide you with a deadly line but above
all explains all the played strategies in great detail!
Running time is 4 hours and 30 minutes!
Included is an extra database of 52 entries!
Conclusion: One of those super made

The great master of explanation GM Sergei Tiviakov provides the
user of this DVD with a well thought collection positional sacrifice’s
,where he learns
us to understand and how to feel the tension of the position.
Going throw these games will help to develop a natural feeling for the
position, sometimes you will have to defend and on other times you will
be
able to launch a deadly attack.
A classic example of positional play is the famous game Tolush –
Botvinnik of 1945,where Botvinnik later wrote in his book Botvinnik’s
Best Games
Volume 2:1942 – 1956;One can only be astonished how could my opponent
go in for the system I had prepared in the French Defence,without making
a serious study of this opening?
Included are 35 video files, a extra database with 50 entries en of
course exercises to test your sacrifice skills.
This all is good for 4 hour and 21 minutes.
