Description of Alexei Shirov: My Best Games in the Spanish DVD (Vol. 2)

Shirovs first Ruy Lopez DVD was enthusiastically recieved. In this second and current volume, Alexei Shirov continues his presentation with games played October 2006 or later. In fact the Ruy Lopez was featured in Shirov's games at the high-class tournaments of 2006-7 and during his candidate matches versus GM Michael Adams and GM Lev Aronian. As Black, he successfully returned to the Archangel system 5...b5 6.Bb3 Bc5 (5 games). As White, he had to face the difficult question how to deal with the popular Marshall Attack (8...d5) (3 games). Further topics of discussion are the Berlin Defence as well as other important systems of the Closed Ruy Lopez like the Breyer, the Flohr-Saitzev or the Chigorin. Enjoy six hours of chess with one of the best players of our times. Alexei Shirov was born in Riga just like world champion Mihail Tal, and his playing style reminds many chess fans of the young Tal. In the early 90's, a comet-like rise brought the young Latvian to the top of the world rankings. Being no older than 22 years, he already had an Elo rating of nearly 2750 and belonged to the absolute elite. Since then Shirov has been one of the best players in the world, delighting all chess fans with original and amazing ideas on the board. System requirements: Pentium-Processor at 300 Mhz or higher, 64 MB RAM, Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Media Player 9.0, DVD drive.
