€29.90 Najdorf Poisoned Pawn: Caruana vs MVL After a break of more than one year, the Candidates finally resumed again and the players certainly used this time to prepare new opening ideas. In round 8, the first round after the resumption of the tournament, Fabiano Caruana sacrificed three pawns and a piece in the opening and came up with an amazing novelty (18.Bc4!) in the Poisoned Pawn Variation of the Sicilian Najdorf in his game with Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. This thriller of a game is good candidate for the game of the year, and others have called it the most amazing piece of home preparation of all times. ....
€29.90 The Anti-Sicilian line 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e5 dxe5 5.Nxe5 is trickier than most people would think. In this weeks show we have a look at White s ideas to fight for an advantage. Black has various ways of meeting this setup, but one critical line goes 5.a6 6.g3 Qc7 7.d4 cxd4 8.Qxd4 Nc6 9.Nxc6 Qxc6 and now rather than moving the rook to g1, White ignores the threat and continues his development with 10.Bg5!

As Black s king is stuck in the centre, his position is quite tricky, but will he manage to withstand the white threats? ....
€29.90 The move 6.Qd3 has become one of the critical tests for Black in the Sicilian Najdorf. In Wijk aan Zee earlier this year Jorden van Foreest won his crucial last round game against Nils Grandelius thanks to great preparation and a spectacular knight sacrifice in the middlegame (21.Nb5!). This week the young Dutchman got another chance to employ this line against Jan-Krzysztof Duda. Although he lost that game quickly, his position looked quite promising right out of the opening. The next day Vladimir Fedoseev tested the Polish player again in this fashionable line, and what a game it was! In this episode of the Fast & Furious you ll learn about White s key ideas and the latest developments within this branch of the Najdorf. ....
€29.90 Trusting your hand A fortnight or so ago, my desktop computer started to get rather grumpy, making increasingly loud harrumphing sounds. A week later it began to go on strike, with the power cutting out completely, apparently at random. Back in the day, I even once changed a disk drive in a computer, but nowadays I’m rather phobic about playing with them. My wife heroically opened the case and took a (cold) hair dryer to the interior, clearing out a vast quantity of dust, but the problem persisted and the old codger it’s more than four years old which makes it heaven knows how ancient in human years is currently being ministered to by a nice man down the road, who has confirmed that it needs a new power supply and is testing for any other ailments. ....
