Ris, Robert: The flexible Taimanov Sicilian

Looking for a realistic way to play for a win with Black against 1.e4 without taking unnecessary risks? The Taimanov Sicilian is a reliable system, and hence one of the best options out there! This video course offers you a complete repertoire for Black against the Open Sicilian: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6. Compared to many other main variations of the Sicilian, the Taimanov Variation is a flexible option which doesn‘t feature too many long, forced variations that you need to memorise in order to maintain the balance. In fact, the aim is to get a playable position out of the opening, which offers new opportunities to outplay the opponent in the long run. Due to its rock-solid formation, Black‘s position is impregnable, and White players trying for a quick attack can easily falter. The old main lines are well covered, as are the latest trends and obscure attempts - so you won‘t face any unpleasant surprises! The video course is complemented with 20 exercises to test your theoretical and practical knowledge, 10 positions to play out to develop a better feeling for these types of positions, as well as a database with more than 200 model games." ¿ Video running time: More than 9 hours ¿ With interactive training including video feedback ¿ Extra: Training with ChessBase apps - Memorize the opening repertoire and play key positions against Fritz on various levels Including download & stream for iPad, tablet etc: can be unlocked with imprinted key System requirements: Minimum: Pentium III 1 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Windows 8.1, DirectX9 graphic card with 256 MB RAM, DVD-ROM drive, Windows Media Player 9 and internet connection for program activation.
