Intelligent Italian

The Italian Opening (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4) is one of the great classics of opening theory. And yet it has experienced a rapid renaissance in recent years. Even top players such as Carlsen, Aronian and Radjabov have successfully tested the Italian Opening, and Ponomariov scored points with it against Bacrot at the FIDE Grand Prix in Thessaloniki in June 2013. The Munich grandmaster and co-founder of the Munich Chess Academy Stefan Kindermann has been an advocate of the Italian Opening at national level for many years. On his new DVD, he presents you with the modern variation of the Italian Game, an extremely flexible and long-lasting repertoire for White. The recommended White setup evades all tactical attempts to refute it due to its high flexibility and yet offers rich play in which a better understanding of the strategic ideas is the deciding factor. Recommended from club level to Bundesliga! The DVD offers a special bonus with its interactive final test: GM Kindermann sets you tasks and gives you the right to move. Now it's your turn! Only after you have entered your solution move will you continue with detailed video feedback and the next task. This way you can memorize variations and motifs and be well prepared for the real thing at the board!
