We all have our tactical
weaknesses, some more than others. So we can actually never get enough tactical
training. And when that is offered in entertaining form, all the better. Hartmut
Riedel, born 1965, tries to teach children not to leave their queen en prise.
The teacher from Berlin has made his own selection of games from the Corus
Tournament. The tasks are packed full of with and irony, but don’t let yourself
be distracted by the free and easy presentation. Everything can be solved, even
if all the solutions were not played over the board in Wijk aan Zee.
To a somewhat different retrospective
on Wijk aan Zee.

Tactics with Hartmut Riedel
Sunday, March 21st, 2010Merci, Nigel
Sunday, March 21st, 2010Did you know
that when White plays 5.Nf3
in the French (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6
4.e5 Nfd7) that indicates he is
going to play against Black’s
“hanging pawns” on e6 and d5? It is strategical knowledge of this kind that
Nigel Davies presents on his new DVD on the French Defence. Bob Long has gone
through the entire course and regards it ‘the most useful DVD I have seen in a
long time’.
