![]() But the general gist of my idea is to play every variation shown by Pert - only in this way will we be prepared for a tournament. In this review, you can also use any diagram above as an instant sparring partner. This exercise will give everyone familiarity with the position and leave you well-prepared for your next tournament game. I see how Fritz plays it as Black using the knowledge of how Fritz played it as White. ![]() Obviously, I lose, often getting smashed by Fritz, but then I review the game and take, in this case, the White side. It's actually quite simple, play it against an engine, at a good level, I generally use Fritz Online - one of the best web apps offered by ChessBase - at Master level. On the other hand, it would be a mistake to dismiss it, and not try to become proficient in exploiting such compensation. Now, if someone is not able to play with compensation of this sort, the Classical Dutch may not be for him/her. Obviously White can follow with 14.Bxa8 gaining the exchange. Here are the moves for those interested:ġ. In the beginning, in one of the model games, Pert shows an exchange sacrifice, saying Black's compensation is the control of the light squares. In every opening, there are bad spots which can be under-estimated by someone who is not familiar with them. It's clearly a comprehensive product, to cover all the needs of the serious tournament player. And then the last Database is made up of 92 games based on the games Pert mentioned while teaching opening theory in the videos. Then there is a database with 100 model games. You'll find a test section with 14 videos and the DVD comes with three databases: the first database is the theory - 25 games/files which one can update or use as a reference. It runs for 9 hours! Yes, to have a GM explaining us theory for 9 hours in person would be a dream only for the rich but ChessBase's interactive DVDs provide the next best thing, at a bargain. Pert definitely covered all the bases and did the homework for us. I noticed few times Pert mentioned Simon Williams, who is among the biggest experts on the classical Dutch and has a well-known book on the subject. Many of the themes and motifs explained by Pert will be seen over and over. I believe one must mix theory with practice - thus my advice to play at least 100 games with the Dutch in addition to watching another 100 games. He does a fine job pointing out White's potentially dangerous manoeuvers. But I think for someone who never played the Dutch it can become useful to discover whether this opening is his/her cup of tea, by playing through some games!ġ.d4 f5 2.Qd3, I must admit I never faced this move in Blitz or tournament games, but thanks to GM Pert, I discovered it, and found some interesting players who fought against it! Watch the games, paying extra attention to where the pieces should be developed, and in the end, try to discover if one can win from the final position, eventually practising against the ChessBase engine. Pert covers them in detail in the videos, so no need to worry. Here a little sample of possible disasters to warn the fellow chess traveller. If unprepared, you may experience nausea on this ride There is a clear need to watch many games to understand what can go wrong, and avoid disaster in our tournament games. Pert doesn't waste time, and already in the introductory video begins to show some of the lines one will find in the DVD. If after 1.d4 Black plays 1.f5 right away, a player must be ready to face some sidelines, and gambits which can become dangerous.
