This DVD provides you with a repertoire of attacking lines against the four major defences to 1.e4 – that is, 1...e5, the Sicilian, the French, and the Caro Kann. These systems will put your opponent under pressure, and when players are under pressure, mistakes occur. This is a practical repertoire – if we study openings we want to be sure to use them in our games. For example 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc4 is one of the recommendations. After just a few moves, you will be dictating play. The Power Play series is suitable for anyone looking to improve their chess, but also provides ready-made lessons and exercises for a trainer. Video runningtime: 6 hours.

Reviews

I finished the DVD ready to go online to try out some of King's recommendations, and I suspect that many other players will as well. Even players who already have well-defined repertoires will likely find helpful nuggets here. Thanks to King's "ideas-based" approach rather than pure memorization, viewers will find it relatively easy to recall the basic considerations for these opening systems. And they will have fun as well. My assessment of this product: Great (five out of six stars)
