Tactic Toolbox Scheveningen

Lubomir Ftacnik supplements his popular DVD on the Scheveningen Variation in the Sicilian with new material that can be used to train tactical motifs. The Sicilian, the most popular opening in the world, is all about attack, imagination and combinations. The ability to recognize tactical possibilities, calculate variations precisely and choose the best is crucial in the sharp positions of the Sicilian and is also useful in general. With the help of the new interactive ChessBase functions, you can see every position through the eyes of a grandmaster and look for the best move. Small hints help you do this. If you only find the second best move, you get a second chance. This way you can enjoy the full depth and beauty of 79 rich, colorful and carefully selected tactical examples from top games. Each opening has certain strategic structures, typical endgames and recurring tactical motifs. The Scheveningen structure combines motifs from many Sicilians - from the Paulsen Variation to the sharp Najdorf Sicilian. The same applies to the tactical richness, the attack combinations and the possibilities for counterplay. Anyone who plays Sicilian with white against or with black will be entertained and surprised and will deepen their knowledge by studying these tactical positions. The tactics of the Sicilian will enchant you and make you a versatile and dangerous opponent.
