La poderosa Defensa Holandesa, Variante Leningrado – GM Marc Narciso, MI Alfonso Jerez

Variante Leningrado

En esta previa del DVD “El poder de la Holandesa”, el GM Marc Narciso y el MI Alfonso Jerez analizan la variante Leningrado, una línea aguda, elegida por jugadores creativos y amantes de la lucha encarnizada.

Esta línea fue utilizada por varios campeones del mundo, entre ellos: Mikhail Botvinnnik, Boris Spassky y Vladimir Kramnik. En la actualidad el GM estadounidense Hikaru Nakamura es uno de los máximos especialistas en la Leningrado.

En el video se muestra la partida Aronian-Nakamura, disputada en el torneo Tata Steel en 2012. Son muy instructivos los planes de cada bando y las sutilezas de los órdenes. En la actualidad Nakamura ha demostrado las virtudes de este dispositivo y ya son varios los jugadores que se vieron seducidos por esta defensa. Esta defensa tiene cierta similitud con la Defensa India de Rey, su diferencia radica en que el peón “f” se encuentra en “f5” en la Holandesa, mientras que en la India de Rey el peón se ubica en su casilla inicial.

• The English Opening: A simple but strong opening to learn! - GM Roman Dzindzichashvili
  ♕ DVD: http://www.onlinechesslessons.net/shop/learn-to-play-the-english-the-easy-way-gm-roman/ ♕ 10 GM SECRETS: http://www.onlinechesslessons.net/10gmsecrets/ ♕ MORE: http://www.onlinechesslessons.net/2015/01/12/learn-to-play-the-english-easy-way/ http://facebook.com/chesstutor | http://twitter.com/onlinechessless In the video “Learn to Play the English the Easy Way” by GM Roman Dzindzichashvili, we see a few simple set-ups that will help us to play the English opening. In this video, the focus is on getting White an easy game using this opening. All of the lines that are examined give White a good advantage, or at least a comfortable position. This makes learning the English very easy, because we do not need to memorize a lot of different move orders. The starting position appears after 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3. From here Roman talks about Black’s three most popular moves (2…Nf6, Nc6 and Bb4) and how White can play simply against each of them. There are many tricks that Black must watch out for as well, which can cause White to gain an advantage quickly if Black is not careful. How does Roman prove that White gets an easy game in all of the lines? What ways can White increase his advantage if Black is not aware of the pitfalls? What the video to find out!

• When declining a gambit can be powerful! - IM Andrew Martin
  ♕ DVD: http://www.onlinechesslessons.net/shop/benko-gambit-declined-im-andrew-martin/ ♕ 10 GM SECRETS: http://www.onlinechesslessons.net/10gmsecrets/ ♕ MORE: http://www.onlinechesslessons.net/2015/01/08/benko-declined-im-andrew-martin/ http://facebook.com/chesstutor | http://twitter.com/onlinechessless In the video “Benko Declined” by IM Andrew Martin, we see some of the ways that White can decline the sacrificed pawn in the powerful Benko Gambit opening. Because the Benko Gambit can be such a strong opening, many players prefer to avoid accepting the gambit and decide to steer the game down a different path. Many dangerous systems have been developed, and Black must be careful if he wants to emerge with a good game. Andrew begins by examining the different moves that White can play to decline Black’s pawn sacrifice. We are then shown Black’s best strategy against each of these move options and how he can get a good game despite White not accepting the gambit. Andrew also shows games that were played in some of the variations, so we can see examples to emulate. Does Black still end up with a strong position despite his sacrifice being declined? How can White try to trip up Black in key positions? What can Black do to overcome these ideas? Watch the video to find out! Interface used ICC: http://www.chessclub.com/from/WStewart/
• Watch out for counter-combinations! - GM Roman Dzindzichashvili

When our opponents become aware of our combinations, they will try to find the best way to get out of them and use all their resources to do so. We must be aware of this. Roman shows a crazy game he played when he was younger that is filled with tactics and combinations. How would each side answer the opponent’s combinations? What key moves does Roman point out that could swing the game in each side’s favor? How did Roman find the sneaky final combinational move that won him the game? Watch the video to find out!

If we have practiced and trained ourselves well with regards to tactics, then our intuition will usually help us find the correct moves on the board. Roman also speaks about the most efficient ways of checkmating using forced moves. After intuition and forced moves are discussed, we are then shown the idea of the mating net. This is when we are attacking the opponent’s king and it has no squares available to move to. Following this is the idea of critical squares that can be used on the board and how we can take advantage of them. All of these concepts are shown with accompanying positions. How can we improve our combinational and tactical skills using all of these concepts? What themes will help us to attack more effectively? Watch the video to find out!

It is an interesting opening that reminds people of a Dutch Defense, but with the White color instead of Black. The Bird's Opening allows White to get an unusual type of position that doesn’t require them to study much theory, but can have good chances to attack quickly during the game. Immediately from the starting move of the game, White is fighting for control of the e5 square. He will soon follow up with Nf3, and seek to increase his control of the center. This opening can be a powerful weapon against opponents who are used to main theoretical lines, but do not know what to do outside of those main types of positions. How can White throw his opponent off with this radical opening? What moves can White make in order to start a quick attack or gain even greater control of the center? Watch the video to find out!

This opening has been played by top Grandmasters such as Kasparov, Gelfand and Adams and is very dangerous to play against. Black builds up a large amount of pressure on the queenside in this opening, forcing White to be very careful with in the way that he responds. At the start of the video, we are shown the starting moves for the opening and Black’s primary piece placements that are used for the queenside pressure. Next, Andrew looks at three different routes that White can steer the game in, and within each section he explains how Black can achieve a good position. What kind of compensation does Black have for a positional gambit? Can White slow down black’s counterplay? Or will White be run over on the queenside? Watch the video to find out!

However, with the new improvements that Roman has found, he shows all of the tactical tricks and traps that White can easily fall into if he is not careful. With the key move a5 after Bb3, Roman proves that White has difficulties if he is stubborn and doesn’t adapt to Black’s new ideas. Black is able to steer the game into new tactical territory, something that White will probably not be ready for if he has not studied ahead of time. What tactical traps does Black have at his disposal? How does Black develop a ferocious attack in key variations? If White tries to hold onto an extra pawn, what moves can Black take to make White pay for his mistake? Watch the video to find out! Interface used ICC: http://www.chessclub.com/from/WStewart/

Smyslov was a Grandmaster, world champion, and one of the greatest chess players of all time. His chess legacy includes many opportunities that we can all learn from, including novelties in chess theory, strategy, and endgame play. In this game, Smyslov methodically strangles Reshevsky. It started off in a Ruy Lopez opening and after a few minor piece exchanges, White quickly grabs the two bishops against Black’s two knights. With seven pawns still on the board, though, is this really an advantage? How will Smyslov use this piece difference? Which move does Roman describe as the greatest move of the game?

Bill looks in detail at many of the 3…gf6 positions, attempts to use the Bishop Pair, and strives to get Black active - even at the cost of a pawn or of maintaining a good pawn structure. 5c3 is also considered, but Black is able to play 5…e5 and asks some questions of White.

This game features the Nimzo-Indian, Leningrad variation middlegame! The Nimzo-Indian late middlegame seems very good for Black, and Dana proves this beyond reasonable doubt. Black will eventually pressure the weak ‘c’ file with a double or triple battery. Although Black may have to fend off some early initiative, with no weaknesses it’s clear the initiative is pointless in many Nimzo-Indians Pre-endgames. Focusing a piece on an advanced weak square (c4) in White’s camp will bring about a clear asset that leads to a clear advantage for Black. Interface used ICC: http://www.chessclub.com/from/WStewart/

All levels of ability will learn from this late middle game – pre endgame transition. The game features the French Defense “Marshall variation”, but it’s all about the middle game and Dana is keen to show that pieces and players should not be pushed around simply because your opponent has made a threat. Saving lost games is also mentioned and we see Dana’s enthusiasm for this area, showing the need to be able to fight for these half points with a checklist of rules for maximizing the chances for genuine counter play. “Look for annoying little threats” is a nice little snippet of wisdom when seeking counter play.

The game studied here features two amateurs playing the Petroff’s Defense, and the classic opening trap involving the ‘discovered check’ winning the Black queen is initially examined. The lecture is highly instructive, and despite being targeted toward beginners, even stronger players will gain insight to the amateur mind’s thought processes and a common feature for beginners: a lack of regard for a single tempo. A lack of commitment to a plan is another example of instructive flawed thinking examined here. The fact that you cannot get mate with a knight on f8 is explained, as are the disadvantages of playing actively when defensive moves are called for.

Eugene looks at why use unorthodox moves and why they are not played by GMs, and explains the reasons for both. When faced with such moves, we need to find the weaknesses that have been created and form our strategy around it.

The attacking methods of White such as Be3 and Qd2 intending Bh6 are highlighted and likewise Black’s methods of counter-play such as e6 and d5 or Rb8 and b5. Attila mentions that a knight on f6 is a great defender but if Black places it elsewhere then White will have opportunities to attack the black king should it castle on the king-side. The importance in defense and attack of the h3 move is discussed, before going into a deeper examination of the middle game.

The video is targeted toward advanced players and the main focus is about how the d2 knight can improve its position, but Jesse is also keen to show that keeping it on f3, supporting the other pieces, is better than sending it further in to attack at g5.

This lecture is a look at a Scotch late middlegame to pre-endgame transition. Beginners and intermediate players will see the power of a ‘Passed Pawn Bind’ in an imbalanced material situation. The struggle to maintain the Bind is the focus of the video, and at one point White maintains the Bind but is a rook down and striving to win. The Bind is always looking to transform to a favorable queening of a Passed Pawn situation and we see Black struggling to defend this constant idea. Charlie Storey says, “The Bind is a positional asset everyone should be mindful of,” and Dana does a great job of explaining this. Interface used ICC: http://www.chessclub.com/from/WStewart/
