A rook full of tricks
марта 3, 2010 by
After 72...Rb4+ (diagram) White had an important decision to take in the game Romanov-Vescovi: should he move his king aside to g5, in order to advance his h-pawn as quickly as possible, or is perhaps 73.Kh3 the better choice? Work out both variations but be warned: there are all sorts of hidden tricks!

Nigel Davies:
French Defence Strategy
The French Defence is one of the best choices a player can make for his opening repertoire, especially older players with limited study time. The solid construction of Blacks game puts the onus on positional understanding and makes it immune to sharp and tricky variations. The longer you play the French the better youll play it. On this DVD Nigel Davies explains the strategy behind the French Defence by examining typical pawn structures and explaining the plans and ideas for both sides.
