Clearance - Beating The French - Rustam Kasimdzhanov - Volume 2

Over 3 hours of instruction from former World Chess Champion
Grandmaster Rustam Kasimdzhanov

Product DescriptionIn the second DVD from his series Beating the French Rustam Kasimdzhanov presents a promising White repertoire based upon 3.Nc3. Topic of this DVD is the position following 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.f4 c5 6.Nf3 Nc6 7.Be3. Very often this leads to a Queenless middlegame or endgame with a white knight on d4 versus a bad bishop on c8 which offers White excellent winning prospects. In 12 video lessons Kasimdzhanov explains, in detail and easy to understand, how White has to proceed to be successful in this position. For players who prefer a dynamic middlegame with queens, he also shows (with games of Kasparov, Shirov and Kramnik, among others) how White can sharpen the fight and go for an attack on the king. Video running time: 3 hrs. 17 min

However in 2004 Rustam Kasimdzhanov (pronounced Kah-zeem-jha-nov) shocked the chess world by winning the FIDE world chess championship title, beating a string of world-class players like Ivanchuk, Grischuk, Topalov and Adams in the process. Kasimdzhanov is a very deep player, who is able to explain chess ideas in an eloquent, lucid style, with a fine touch of humor. His lessons are both entertaining and instructive perfect for students who seek to avoid dry theory.
