Volume 13: Destroy White with the Accelerated Dragon – Presenter GM Eugene Perelstheyn

Aside from reviewing the main lines and move orders, Grandmaster Eugene Perelshteyn also instructs viewers on deeper ideas and profound positional concepts. Many chess DVDs will teach you the move orders and nothing else – however in ?Destroy White with the Accelerated Dragon? GM Perelshteyn focuses on the ideas behind the moves. After this watching this chess DVD, if your opponent deviates from the main moves early in the game – you will have nothing to worry about because you will truly understand the most effective PLANS, instead of memorizing topical move orders! This chess DVD presents over 2.5 hours of extremely high quality grandmaster instruction, reviewing all of the main lines and sidelines in the Accelerated Dragon system (ECO Code B35). Specifically GM Perelshteyn recommends a hypermodern approach with an immediate kingside fianchetto to avoid early deviations from the Accelerated Dragon (ie the Rossolimo Variation with 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5). With this hypermodern approach, you can narrow down your focus in the opening to really choose the lines that you want to research and play.

Volume 14: Crush the Caro-Kann with the Exchange Variation – Presenter GM Eugene Perelstheyn

The Caro-Kann Defense is an extremely solid opening choice for black against 1. e4. While the Advanced Variation involving 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 is certainly the most topical variation for white in the 21st century, it is definitely the most thoroughly studied and well-known line by Caro-Kann players. However, the Exchange Variation with 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. exd5 is not nearly as popular because many players (incorrectly!) think that this line is very drawish and promises white little chances to fight for an advantage from the opening. Viewers of the 2.5+ hour chess DVD ?Crush the Caro-Kann with the Exchange Variation? will find out that this is simply not the case! The Exchange Variation is a very subtle line for white to fight for a long-term positional advantage based on a rapid development of his two bishops that will make it very difficult for black to in turn develop his bishops to active diagonals. White has many different methods to play for an advantage in the Exchange Variation and presenter Grandmaster Eugene Perelshteyn does an excellent job of explaining white’s most accurate lines of play.

Volume 15: Secrets of the Janisch Gambit – Presenter GM Leonid Kritz

One of the main advantages of the Janisch Gambit is the element of surprise. By immediately sidestepping the main lines of the Ruy Lopez, you are going to take your opponent out of his preparation and directly into yours – guaranteeing you a psychological advantage in the first stage of the game. It is also very uncomfortable for most Ruy Lopez players to face such a dynamic response from black, as many ?Spanish Game? players are more inclined to a quieter game full of positional maneuvering – NOT the crazy tactical complications that commonly arise in the Janisch Gambit. If you are looking for a dynamic defense with the black pieces against the Ruy Lopez, the Janisch Gambit is the solution you have been looking for!

Volume 16: Crushing White with the Sicilian Najdorf – Presenter GM Rafael Leitao

At 2620 FIDE, Grandmaster Rafael Leitao is Brazil’s top player and continues to dominate in 2013, scoring numerous recent tournament victories and practically running the table in all of South America. GM Leitao has played the Sicilian Najdorf for nearly 20 years and in this 3 hour chess DVD, he gives viewers the positional foundation that is required to achieve consistent success with this complicated defense against 1. e4. GM Leitao explains that you should understand the positional concepts associated with main line theory, but that doesn’t mean you have to memorize every single line. In this chess DVD, the Brazilian Grandmaster presents his recommended variations in every main line and sideline of the Sicilian Najdorf so that viewers will have a complete, narrowly focused arsenal with black against 1. e4!

Volume 17: Stomping White with the Stonewall Defense – Presenter GM Eugene Perelstheyn

Grandmaster Eugene Perelshteyn is an extremely experienced chess trainer who has employed the Stonewall Defense with consistent success at the GM level. From a superficial glance, the Stonewall Defense may appear very simple (place your pawns on the light squares, trade your light-squared bishop or activate it via ..b6 and ..Ba6, and don’t let white play e4) – GM Perelshteyn is quick to point out common tactical and positional pitfalls. The Stonewall Defense also has an undeserved reputation for being a very drawish, passive opening – but GM Perelshteyn presents multiple attacking patterns in the center and kingside for black that can destroy any opponent with the white pieces! This chess DVD will improve your opening play with black and provide you with the knowledge to stomp white with the Stonewall Defense!

Volume 18: Winning with the Grand Prix Attack Bb5 System – Presenter GM Eugene Perelstheyn

The Grand Prix Attack Bb5 System is both an agressive and positional chess opening. White prepares an attack on the kingside with an early f4, while maintaining the threat of doubling black’s pawns with Bxc6 – applying similar positional concepts as found in the Nimzo-Indian Defense. If you are a 1. e4 player who has trouble against the main lines of the Sicilian Defense, and you don’t want to dedicate dozens of hours of valuable chess studying time to memorizing all of the variations so you can achieve an ending at +.43 – why not try a different system to get better results with less effort? This setup is perfect for the beginner and intermediate chess player because it is driven by understanding of positional concepts and thematic attacking plans – NOT memorization of move orders! In this 2 hour chess DVD, Grandmaster Eugene Perelshteyn presents his deep knowledge and experience of how to crush the Sicilian Defense with the Grand Prix Attack Bb5 System.
