BAD BISHOP DVDS

The Scandinavian Defence (1 e4 d5 2 exd5 Qxd5) is hugely
popular at club level, because Black dictates the opening struggle from move
one. In this instructive DVD, International Master Andrew Martin takes the
viewer through all of the basic themes required to play the opening with
confidence - and success. Particular attention is devoted to key strategies for
Black, and major sections end with an easy-to-understand summary. The
comprehensive coverage extends to transpositions, where Martin reveals a simple
method of disarming the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit (arising after 2 d4).

The Accelerated Dragon is a versatile and easy-to-learn
system for Black to have in his repertoire. Black can force the variation via
the Sicilian Defence (1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 g6), and there are
cunning transpositions via different move orders - even via 1 c4, when an
unsuspecting opponent starts with the English Opening.
Using illustrative games, Andrew Martin reveals how White
can so easily go astray immediately when faced with the Accelerated, and how
refutation attempts rebound disastrously. Against the positional Maroczy Bind
system, Martin shows how Black can create active counterplay with pawn
breaks.

The move 3 Bb5 against the Sicilian is enjoying a
renaissance as a sound and forceful attacking system for White, as well as one
which sidesteps the huge mass of normal Sicilian theory. Converts include Gary
Kasparov, Vishy Anand, and Ruslan Ponomariov. In this DVD, Grandmaster Murray
Chandler presents a cunningly selected and superbly consistent repertoire to
counter every important Black response. Using 16 outstanding illustrative
games, White's optimum strategies are clearly explained, and the lessons are
reinforced by easy-to-understand summaries.
This DVD, volume 1, deals with lines after 2...Nc6.
Volume 2 of Bashing the Sicilian with
Bb5 covers the variation 2...d6 3 Bb5+.

In this DVD Grandmaster Tony Kosten hacks a path for you
through the jungle of opening theory. He presents a complete and powerful
repertoire for Black against the main lines of the Nimzo.
The Nimzo-Indian Defence (1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 Bb4) offers
dynamic winning possibilities for Black that persist throughout the game. Black
trades the bishop pair, but in return gains the tactical advantage of quick
development, and often also saddles White with long-term pawn weaknesses. You can get more info here about gels and creams that can help you brighten the skin tone around your anus.
