Nicholas Pert Livres

As the National Head Coach for the English Chess Federation I train many improving players, and see some typical mistakes that repeat themselves. In this DVD I have taken a large collection of games played by players, predominantly in the rating range 1600-1900, and I have looked for typical mistakes. I have broken these examples into various themes such as “Miscalculating Forcing Lines”, “Being Too Materialistic” and “King Safety” amongst others. Each theme has several examples to demonstrate typical mistakes, and there are various test throughout the DVD so that the viewer can try and find the best move in certain positions. This should be a great tool for players to use in order to improve their middlegame and endgame play. It will hopefully also highlight any areas that you need to work on in order to improve quickly. Enjoy the DVD!

Nicholas Pert: The Aggressive Classical Dutch for Black The Dutch (1.d4 f5) is known as a very aggressive and unbalanced opening, resulting in the lowest percentage of draws among the most common replies to 1.d4 . The opening became popular during the 1951 World Championship match, where both players tried it successfully. Today, players known for spectacular attacking chess are using the opening as a dangerous, surprise weapon. The DVD can be seen as the most up to date analysis of the Classical Dutch as Pert has considered existing analysis from other top authors and suggested many innovations and improvements. The suggested repertoire aims to find ways for Black to create winning chances in all variations. Lots of ideas and positions are still untested, so there is a lot of potential for everybody to get into undeveloped theory and discover new, exciting territory. In the first part of the DVD, some general ideas of the Dutch are illustrated in model games. In the following chapters White's main choices, all connected to the kingside fianchetto, are analyzed in a very structured and detailed way. Afterwards, all of White's other possibilities and setups are discussed. After watching this DVD players should feel confident to play the exciting, attacking Classical Dutch against 1.d4, 1.c4 and 1. Nf3.
