The basics of winning chess 2.0

On this DVD, experienced trainer and International Master Andrew Martin shows how it's done. Andrew Martin says of his DVD: "Over ten years have passed since the first edition of 'Basics of Winning Chess' was published, and the time is ripe for a return to this project. After all, chess has changed dramatically in the last decade and knowledge of the game and the basics of chess seems to be more extensive than ever. We have to keep up with this! It is often said that top players play like machines. Once they have reached a winning position, they win. It seems as if at some point in the game they switch to autopilot and win effortlessly. This DVD shows how this chess technique has developed. It starts with simple basics and leads to the technique of today's masters. These examples help us to play as well as we can technically." "Version 2.0 shows numerous examples from modern practice. Virtually all of the games are instructive and of high quality. Almost all were played recently and are accompanied by commentary and analysis. This DVD shows the way to play chess better. The DVD offers a comprehensive tour of modern chess and is particularly useful for players rated 1200-2200.”
