 The Sokolsky (Orangutan) Chess Opening DVD

Runtime: 2 hours 12 minutes

This Foxy Openings DVD teaches you all you need to know to get up and running with the unorthodox 1.b4!, the Sokolsky or "Orangutan" opening. White's opening is very playable; indeed and has the obvious merit of steering the opponent into a uncharted position immediately, where you will know what is going on and your adversary will not! 1.b4 can be interpreted in many different ways - there are gambits, opposite wing attacks, and quiet position play. White often ends up with a central pawn majority after exchanging his b-pawn for Black's c-pawn. In other lines, after b4-b5, the White pawn becomes a thorn in Black's side. On this DVD International Master and Senior FIDE Trainer Andrew Martin will show you how to do handle this unusual opening. Video running time: 2 hours 12 minutes.
