Especially the one's from Andrew Martin. I prefer having them feature Andrew Martin. He has a way of keeping your attention. They also feature other trainers, such as Jacob Aagaard, or Peter Wells. Which are good as well. But their appearances are very technically. Which makes it hard to keep your attention when they're discussing a long chapter. Martin throws in a litlle humour here and there. Anyway, they even have DVD's (CD's) featuring Garry Kasparov and Korchnoi. But Korchnoi's is more of the biographical kind. And Garry Kasparov's comes in handy when you're looking to play the Najdorf or Queens Gambit. They're opening training DVD's. I have them too. But i will go over them when i get into the opening training phase. But that is way back on my list.Edwin 'dutchdefence' Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127208752162296975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15994818.post-1133063964803982242005-11-27T04:59:00.000+01:002005-11-27T04:59:00.000+01:00Nice game.The DVD sounds like it's giving very goo...Nice game.<BR/><BR/>The DVD sounds like it's giving very good advice.King of the Spillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247301176423412523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15994818.post-1132976587364991002005-11-26T04:43:00.000+01:002005-11-26T04:43:00.000+01:00Well, to tell you the truth, the only thing tellin...Well, to tell you the truth, the only thing telling me Tringov is a Master of any kind (in this game), is the fact that he's making perfect book moves. Other then that, it could have been me :)<BR/><BR/>But just take a moment to look at how perfectly Tal develops. He really develops each and every piece in the opening, moving them only once!<BR/><BR/>Maybe the Modern Defence (which i find interesting myself) was playable against Tal. But surely it wasn't the variation Tringov chose.Edwin 'dutchdefence' Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127208752162296975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15994818.post-1132930770789379522005-11-25T15:59:00.000+01:002005-11-25T15:59:00.000+01:00Interesting game.. how to crush a GM under 20 move...Interesting game.. how to crush a GM under 20 moves? heheknightwizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10618898674961083176noreply@blogger.com
