With Svitlana Demchenko and Arne Kaehler
Svitlana Demchenko is a 20-year-old, Canadian WIM and chess coach. Here and now, she will teach us plenty of smart moves on the board, ranging from tactics, strategies, openings, and everything else chess-related. In the process, I’m happy to be available as a student at club player level, and pester the Women’s International Master with questions. Anyone who wants to strengthen their chess skills is welcome to watch, and actively replay the positions from the video on our chessboard.

If you like Svitlana’s Smart moves, you will certainly enjoy her video lectures about “Surprising your opponents with the Lazy Sicilian”, her first Fritztrainer “Understanding Material Imbalances”, and her courses “The Scotch Game”, and the “Leningrad Dutch Defence”. Her newest Entry is the “King’s Indian Attack”!
In just 60 minutes, you will be well-equipped with a surprise weapon, which will take most of your opponents out of book right from the start.
This DVD focuses on several types of material imbalances, such as Rook vs 2 Pieces, Queen vs 2 Rooks, and Queen vs Pieces.
Besides in-depth theory and exciting tactical exercises in the Scotch Game, this video course also includes a bonus section on the Scotch Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Bc4), a lively variation often leading to very dynamic positions.
The Leningrad Dutch Defence is a dynamic and aggressive opening choice for Black, perfect for players who want to add some adventure and spice to their repertoire.
The King‘s Indian Attack is a universal opening: easy to learn, flexible, and rich in both tactical and positional opportunities.
