Roman's Labs Chess: The Dynamic Catalan Chess Opening

The Catalan is a sophisticated positional chess opening that gives White a "reversed Grunfeld" position with an extra tempo. White plays 1.d4, 2.c4 - and then fianchettoes the King's Bishop on g2. On this program GM Roman and GM Perelshteyn - plus computer chess champion Rybka - join to bring you improved lines and novelties in this opening repertoire for White. The Catalan is played on the highest level because of the initiative White gets out of the opening. If you like playing an opening that gives active play and great winning chances, the Catalan chess opening is for you. This fine DVD should be in every chess player's video library - but are you prepared for mental combat? To enhance your enjoyment we've included FREE the epic “Art of War” by Sun Tzu, completely re-mastered for the 21st century by ChessCentral. This e-book was taken from the first English translation by Lionel Giles, then painstakingly edited for textual errors while restoring Giles' beautiful rendering of the Chinese original. Not only has the full commentary by Giles been retained, but period Chinese art tastefully evokes the feel of Sun Tzu's masterpiece. Now you're ready to play chess!
