The well known Grandmaster Sergei Tiviakov explains in 14 video
files,15 self tests and 56 model games the secrets of a good defence
play.
As we can learn from the great master a good defence is more than
counterattack and prophylactic thinking.
This all is well packed in 5 h and 19 minutes video time and I can
insure the reader offers the reader more than all those unreadable
books on this subject!
Just go throw these {video} files!
A fine example of this all is: Ponomariov,Ruslan (2723) -

The well known English grandmaster Simon Williams
does not only explain the strategies of the so called the London System
1.d4 d5 2.Bf4 but also provides the white user with killing lines!
Williams aim is simple and aggressive!
The London System is a opening that is easy to learn and can be
employed against any possible defence as for example against the so
called Nimzo Indian defences, which gets a major subject on this DVD
from the well speaking Williams.
This all is well packed in 33 video files,18 self tests and a extra
model game file from 106 entries where many of them cover heavy loaded
annotations as for example the following latest played game:
Karjakin,Sergey (2769) - Adams,Michael (2744) [D02]
Utrecht (10), 27.01.2016
[Richard Palliser]
1.d4 Nf6 2.Bf4 d5 3.e3 e6 4.Nf3 c5 5.c3 Nc6 6.Nbd2 Bd6 7.Bg3 [7.Ne5 Qc7

[9.e4 Be7 10.Qc2!? (10.e5 Nh5 11.a3 a5 should be OK for Black) 10...h6
(10...dxe4!? 11.Nxe4 Nd5 12.Bb5!? Bb7 13.dxc5 bxc5 14.Qe2²) 11.0-0
cxd4 12.e5 Nh5 (again, we see Black hunting down the bishop-pair)
13.Nxd4 Nxd4 14.cxd4 Bb7 15.Nf3 Nxg3 16.hxg3 Qd7 17.g4 Bc6! 18.a4 Rfc8]
9...Bb7 [9...Ne7 10.Qf3 Bb7 11.h4] 10.f4 Ne7! 11.Qf3!? [11.Qb1 g6 (or
11...Ng6 .) ] 11...Nf5 12.Bf2 Be7! 13.g4!? [13.0-0 Nd6] 13...Nd6 14.g5
Nfe4³ 15.0-0-0 c4! 16.Bc2 b5 17.Qh3 [17.Nxe4 dxe4 18.Qe2 Bd5]
17...b4! From now until the end, Mickey relentlessly hammers away at
the white king. 18.Nxe4 [18.cxb4?! a5 19.b5 a4! .] 18...dxe4 19.Be1
Talk about a grim position as White and after just 19 moves. If
Karjakin hoped that he might somehow hold the queenside, he was to be
in for a rude awakening. 19...Bd5!? 20.Rg1?! [Now Black comes crashing
through. I can't believe that White would have survived after 20.cxb4
a5! , but this would at least have forced Black to undertake a bit of
work after 21.bxa5 Rxa5 22.a4 .] 20...b3! 21.axb3 cxb3 22.Bb1 f5 It's
far from clear how much of a threat Ng4-f6+ was, but why not secure the
black kingside before the inevitable breakthrough on the other wing?
23.gxf6 Bxf6 24.Rg4 Nf5 25.Kd2 [Unfortunately for White, 25.c4 runs
into 25...Bxc4! 26.Nxc4 Rc8 and after 27.Bc3 Rxc4 28.Kd2 there's even
28...Rxc3 29.bxc3 Qa5 .] 25...Qa5 26.Ke2 A desperate attempt to run and
not the normal fare that one would expect from a 2700. Now White cannot
allow the f-file to open, so Mickey makes a final, telling exchange.
26...Bxe5! 27.dxe5 Rad8 28.Kf2 Qa1 Simple chess: b2 is falling. 29.Bd2
Bc4 30.Qh5 Qxb2 31.Ke1 Rxd2! 0-1.
The large amount of latest played games is impressive!
Video running time is nearly 7 hours!
Conclusion: A very important reference
DVD on the London System!
