With this DVD on the Russian Defence (Petroff Defence) Alexei Shirov continues the
successful and highly praised series of his best games. Since many players look on the
Russian Defence with the suspicion that it is a drawish opening, and one which at the
same time is both dry and boring, Shirov has in this DVD set himself the specifi c task
of countering this view of matters. Thus he begins the DVD with a game featuring the
Cochrane Gambit. Then of course Shirov concentrates on the solid and recognised lines, and in doing so continually manages to explain their deeper content. But the spectator will draw benefi t not only from his remarks on the opening, because Shirov understands so brilliantly how to explain instructively and profi tably for the student every phase of the game, with the result that at the end of the DVD on the Russian Defence, you will even have learned a lot about endgames. Video running time: over 5 hours.
