Top Tournaments and Annotations by World Class Players
by The ChessBase team
Publisher: ChessBase, 2011
Edition: DVD-ROM
Language: English
Main points in this DVD are the triumphs awarded to an experienced and to a fresh face. The younger of the two is looking at you from the title picture: Hikaru Nakamura won the Tata Steel Tournament in Wijk aan Zee with a wonderful result of 9 points from 13 games.
Vassily Ivanchuk’s result in the Gibraltar Masters was numerically even more impressive: his 10 out of 11 saw him playing at a level of almost 3000 Elo points.
You will find on the DVD the games from these two top tournaments with detailed reports as well as games analysed by World Champion Anand, Kramnik, Nepomniachtchi, Vachier-Lagrave, McShane, Le Quang Liem and many more.
The DVD also once more provides you with a rich source of ideas for your repertoire in 14 openings articles as well as tailor-made training lessons in strategy, tactics and the endgame.
