And Action! - How to crown positional play by tactics

(""And action: how to crown positional play with tactics"") There are few names that, like that of Alexei Shirov, can be associated with fantastically imaginative and tactically influenced play. Now the Latvian grandmaster presents a DVD on precisely that element of the game of chess. And one that is completely based on his own games. The first set of examples deals with simple tactics, in which mate often has a role to play. In the course of it he will learn many details of Shirov's career and also how he is valued over other players. In the second series, not only tactical issues are addressed, but also attacking play in its entirety. Although here too the author continues to offer the opportunity for you to find a short move or combination for yourself. In chapters 5 and 6 he shows complex attacks. That is very much the key discipline: tactics embedded in positional play or, viewed from the opposite angle, positional play that includes tactical elements. So this DVD goes much further than pure tactics and is perfectly suitable for advanced players wishing to develop their understanding of the game. Video footage: 4 hours 52 minutes.
