Power Play 17: Attack with 1.e4 (Part 1) - Chess Opening Software on DVD

Power Play 17: Attack with 1.e4

This DVD provides you with a repertoire of attacking lines against the four major defenses to 1.e4 - that is, 1...e5, the Sicilian, the French, and the Caro-Kann. These systems will put your opponent under pressure, and when players are under pressure, mistakes occur. This is a practical repertoire - if we study openings we want to be sure to use them in our games. For example, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 is one of the recommendations; so after just a few moves, you will be dictating play. The Power Play series is suitable for anyone looking to improve their chess, but also provides ready-made lessons and exercises for a trainer.

Video running time: 6 hours.
