Houdini 4 Houdini is the unquestionable number one! The program, written by the scha ch.d e Belgian Robert Houdart, is known for finding tricks and resources in positions that just can’t be cracked by other engines. Now, with the release of its latest incarnation, Houdini 4, the engine has been improved significantly across the board. Its 50 Elo point boost in playing strength represents practically double the performance in analysis and engine matches. 6M ON AT E PR EM IUM A significant element of the new version is its support of the new Syzygy tablebases, which represent the complete analysis of all endgames up to 6 pieces.* Indeed, Houdini 4 was developed with compatibility in mind and has been tuned to work with this ultramodern tablebase format to deliver the optimum in terms of precision and strength in the endgame. Houdini 4 also offers all the virtues and elements that made its predecessor the most popular analysis program in the chess world, but now also uses extremely precise evaluation functions that directly correlate with the engine’s expectations of winning a particular position. As well as this, the improved “tactics mode” now makes Houdini 4 the best tactical puzzle solver ever.

Daring exchange sacrifices are mixed with in-depth analysis of Black’s most reliable defences to give Black numerous options to play. Volume one of the DVD deals with 9 Bc4, White’s sharpest option, and shows how Black can counter this ambitious try by White with the main lines of the Soltis variation (12…h5), which was played by Magnus Carlsen regularly as well. The DVD is aimed at the ambitious tournament player who wants a sharp but well founded repertoire that puts immediate pressure on his opponent.

A renowned team of authors demonstrates masterly strategic performances, ground breaking endgame manoeuvres and model combinations in video format and in this way brings these legends to life. The DVD series opens with the best-known world champion in the history of chess: Bobby Fischer. In his introductory video GM Rogozenco presents the openings of the 11th world champion and delves into the development of his repertoire. Which variations did Fischer play? And what sources did the American make use of to arm himself against the almighty Soviets? GM Marin works out the development of Fischer’s style using, for example, games against Filip, Spassky, Taimanov and Petrosian. An ambitious task, yet the Romanian grandmaster manages to tease out that special strategic gift which made Fischer superior to his opponents. Karsten Müller’s work on Fischer’s endgame technique is particularly extensive and enthusiastic. Our endgames expert covers the whole spectrum going from theoretical endgames to the legendary Fischer endgames” in which a rook + bishop do battle against rook + knight. „Combine like Fischer“ is the motto of Oliver Reeh’s interactive contribution to the DVD. The tactics expert presents exercises from 17 games in the new video format and leaves the next move up to you. It is your turn and you can see if you can find Fischer’s brilliant moves all by yourself! cher bby Fis o B Bo bb 01 yF isc her TE The Sicilian Dragon Vol. 2: All Lines except 9.Bc4 € 29 PE Peter Heine Nielsen: The E IN E N IE for Sicilia L S E N Vo the to n Dra l. 1: g The Ma urnam on op Drag in L en po on repe site is on ca ine t pla in- rtoire stlinge of de Bl wit ye The pth to he and ack’s an lp str h9 r gamDVD alysis Blac ong most es includ of k to mut darin .

The DVD covers all these lines, offering sound solutions for Black against White’s best tries while howing how to exploit White’s more dubious tries. Nielsens two DVDs provide a complete and up to date repertoire to help Black to score with the Dragon. Daring exchange sacrifices are mixed with in-depth analysis of Black’s most reliable defences to give Black numerous options to play. 29,90 & € 29,90 CHESSBASE CATALOG 2014 011 VIDEOTRAINING VIDEOTRAINING Mihail Marin: NEW!

In other words, it is a matter of establishing the right order of priorities. This series of DVDs aims to demonstrate the importance of taking proven principles into account before choosing the direction of your over-the-board calculations. The first DVD deals with the initial phase of the game, when the all the reigning principles can be crystalized into just one: DEVELOPMENT!

Exponents of the Traxler variation in tournament practice include Shirov and Beliavsky, with the latter having used it to defeat Anand (!) at Linares 1991. What is more, the DVD includes a host of ideas for actively meeting 4.d3 and 4.d4as well, so that after studying the material you basically have a complete repertoire against the Italian Game! 29,90 & N IN G G Law Ren nT ce TRe La w Re n ce TR en T Che ssB Oste ase D-2 rbek str.

The setup, which involves putting the knight on e2 in combination with castling kingside, was revolutionary at that time. Kasparov, Botvinnik’s pupil, would soon follow in his mentor’s footsteps, bringing yet further refinements to this flexible system. This DVD covers both of the main continuations 3...Nf6 and 3…Be7 in two separate parts and their inherent differences and possible transpositions are mentioned wherever they arise. After seriously studying the theoretical lines, the strategic ideas and tactical motifs, you will surely be able to answer the quiz questions successfully and integrate this World Champion repertoire into your own games. 29,90 & La The nc e TR en Gra mod T nd ern Prix Att ack / D’Co sta Mur phy D ’C o M ursta ph / y Lorin D’Costa: Chess Prodigies Uncovered: Sergey Karjakin ri n Ch D‘ Co sta e Sergss Pro ey dig Karj ies akin Unc ove red : Ser gey ma ste Kar tod r agejakin hit ay. mo In d jus the the t st on fam firs 12 yeaheadlin Ser ous t cur gey pro of thisrs 7 moes in ren ’s ear dig new nth 200 No t world ly ies of ser s, a 2 wh car t top eer moderies witrecorden he he many def fro 10 sta m aspn tim h Ch whichbecam gam eat chess ess tus ed pla e , and irin es – Ser Bas shockee the Ho at tha Pavel yers on g 9 yea gey e, IM w d world t!

Based on his personal experience and the latest theoretical developments this DVD is a great starting point to learn 3.Nd2. Sergey Tiviakov is very successful in beating the French Defence with overal score of 80% (well above average) from 219 games played. The DVD contains lot of exclusive information and databases not available anywhere else. The main database consists of about 312,000 games. With interactive training: test yourself and find out if you master the new repertoire and if you are ready for battle at the board. Including videofeedback on your proposals! 27,90 & OPE NIN O PE N IN G 27,90 & In our first steps in chess we are taught about the nominal value of the pieces. The queen is equal to nine pawns; a rook to five, a minor ces piece is worth three pawns. This is a common sense solution aimed of the pie e value The tru The tru ev at teaching the beginner a system of values so that he or she does alu eo f th ep iec not trade a more valuable piece for a less good one. Later however, es situations occur in games in which one side can trade two minor pieces (six pawns) for a rook and a pawn (also six pawns). Theoretically speaking, this should result in an equal position, but in reality one of the two sides will profit from the exchange. GM Dejan Bojkov gives valuable advice on how to handle unbalanced positions. He also explains the hidden factors behind the imbalances, explanations which will guide you through the art of exchanging pieces. 27,90 & STRaTeGY e value Tivi ako SeR gei Dejan Bojkov: GY STR ATE ST RA TE GY STRaTeGY s s occ no uti roo t llat ces k and ur t tra on aim k to abou ion , as we de s in five t itio a pa game a mo ed at , a the no where ll as n, wn mi re tea mi s the a roo ere but in (al in wh valuab chi nor nal ng pie val mater k plu are rea so six ich ue s le the ce Bu of ial is pawn pa one pie lga many lity be is uab ria ma cas one wns). side ce for gin worth the pie unba vs of es le a lesner a three ces lancedtwo the Theo can of tor ad kes ovs be vice an att mater two reticatrade s go system pawn.

The universality of the IQP is illustrated by the games on this DVD, played in openings as diverse as the Nimzo Indian, Queen’s Gambit Accepted, Semi-Tarrasch, Caro-Kann, Slav, c3-Sicilian, French Tarrasch, Bogo Indian and Petroff. A final section of questions and answers tests and reinforces the reader’s knowledge of the IQP, one of the most important structures in modern chess.

With the help of a large number of examples the internationally renowned endgame expert explains the pertinent winning motifs of the side with the rook, such as returning the exchange, opening lines for the rook and restricting the bishop. Another factor that is of great importance in converting one‘s advantage is the question when and when not to exchange.

Dennoch gibt es viel weniger Literatur darüber. Die vorliegende DVD soll helfen, diese Lücke weiter zu schließen. Denn viele Faustregeln bleiben gültig, wie Aktivität ist das Gebot der Stunde, der König blockiert Freibauern gerne, der Turm nicht und der Turm gehört hinter die Freibauern, seien es eigene oder gegnerische. Doch es gibt auch viele neue Motive. Insbesondere spielt die Königssicherheit aufgrund der höheren Feuerkraft auf dem Brett eine größere Rolle, was viel mehr Mattangiffsmotive ermöglicht. Daher steigt in der Regel auch der Wert von Mehrbauern an, weil sie dem eigenen König wertvolle Deckung geben können. Weiterhin legt der international anerkannte Endspielexperte viel Wert auf die Diskussion von Abtauschfragen, welche nun viel häufiger auftreten als in einfachen Turmendspielen. Daher ist es wichtig, hier eine gute Intuition zu entwickeln, ob der Angreifer oder der Verteidiger mehr von einem Turmtausch profitieren würde. Videospielzeit: 4 Std. 21 min (Deutsch) KARSTEN MÜLLER KARSTEN MÜLLER fritztrainer DoppelturmenDspiele SCHACHENDSPIELE 14 Double rook endings occur frequently and are different from single rook endings in several respects. However, there is much less literature on them. This DVD shall help filling the gap. Many guidelines remain valid of course like activity is the order of the day, the king wants to blockade passed pawns, the rooks does not and the rook belongs behind passed pawns be they friendly or enemy. But there are also many new motifs. Especially king safety plays a much larger role due to the increased firepower on the board. Therefore the value of extras pawns often also increases as they can provide the king with much needed shelter. 29,90 & KARSTEN MÜLLER SchAchENdSpiELE 13 Rules of thumb are the key to everything when you are having to set the correct course in a complex endgame. In this final DVD of his series, our expert introduces you to the most important of these rules of thumb. The first part deals with general guidelines such as “activate the king”, “the rook belongs behind passed pawns”, “do not rush”. In addition to such endgame principles there are also rules of thumb as to making the correct exchanges, prophylaxis, improving the position of the worst placed piece, which you should already take into account in the middlegame! The second part is sorted by material, going from pawn endings to endings with rook and minor piece against rook and minor piece. 29,90 & KARSTEN MÜLLER SchAchENdSpiELE 13 DoppelturmenDspiele fritztrainer endspiel Karsten Müller: ENDGAMES 12 – Rook against Knight piel ßmeister Dr. Karsten Müller spielt seit 1988 für den HamburBundesliga und wurde 1996 und 1997 Dritter der Deutschen tional anerkannter Endspielexperte schreibt er die Endspielagazins und die Endgame Corner auf ChessCafe.com.

This time the endgame expert explains endgames with rook against knight, two rooks against rook and knight, rook against bishop and knight etc. These endgames allow one to study the important characteristics „coordination“ and „harmony of the pieces“ in detail and lead to interesting practical insights. Especially the geometry of the knight becomes evident. Don’t miss Karsten Muellers demonstration of the „knight check shadow“. It will help you save your games – not only in the endgame! 29,99 & The more the material is reduced, the more important it is to correctly evaluate the potential of the remaining pieces. That is especially the case when there is an imbalanced distribution of forces remaining on the board. On this DVD Müller tackles a central them of asymmetrical forces and examines, e.g., the constellations rook versus bishop, two rooks against rook and bishop, rook and knight versus rook and knight and also queen and rook against queen and bishop. 29,99 & The constellation of rook and two minor pieces versus rook and two minor pieces comes about very frequently in practice, yet there has hardly been any literature on it so far. Müller’s DVD plugs this gap and in doing so extends modern endgame theory by a series of exciting facets. 29,99 & Retail price: € 29,99 chESS ENdGAMES 11 rook againsT Bishop fritztrainer endgames chESS ENdGAMES 10 rook and Two minor pieces KARSTEN MUELLER Although the distribution of material with a rook and two minor pieces against a rook and two minor pieces is a very common one in practical play, there is very little literature on the subject apart from that dealing with questions relating to the bishop pair. This gap should be plugged by the present DVD. The harmony and coordination of the minor pieces, such as for example “the geometry of the knight pair” constitute a subject which lends itself very well to being examined in connection with rooks. Should the knights be defending one another or standing side by side? Other typical questions are: when is the combination rook+bishop+knight superior to the trio of rook and 2 knights? When should we liquidate to an ending with rook and minor piece against rook and minor piece, the sort of theme dealt with in the 9th endgame DVD? What are the rules of thumb and methods which we can deduce from this? For example is a slight initiative even greater when there are a rook + 2 knights against a rook + 2 knights? In addition, attention will be paid to the restricting the mobility of the knights by means of Steinitz’ restriction method and questions of pawn handling such as Capablanca’s rule. Some examples with 4 rooks are also considered so as to be able to examine a question which is important in practical play: when to exchange rooks. Also examined here in systematic fashion are many aspects of piece coordination which are also important in the middlegame and models are worked out to help you to better assimilate the important question of harmony.
