The Modern Italian Game &Two Knights Defense (2 Videos)
by Andrew Martin

First Video
The ancient chess opening 1.e4 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 has been refined into the Modern Italian Game, and is a great weapon for the average club player. But this system also scores well for White at all levels -right up to Grandmaster. It's 100% sound, solid and durable, offering White the chance to develop a nagging edge throughout the game. This advantage can often turn into a vicious attack. After 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6, it is the move 5.d3! which will make Black's heart sink.

On this Foxy openings video, IM Andrew Martin teaches you how to play this top-class system without any fuss, and shows you how to get up to speed in no time.

Chess Video Running Time: 1 hour and 53 minutes


Second Video
The Two Knights Defense (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6) is without a doubt Black's sharpest response to the Italian Game. In this all-new investigation, International Master and Senior FIDE Trainer Andrew Martin proposes that 3...Nf6 be met head-on with 4 Ng5!?, the most aggressive reply.

Original play abounds and the opportunity is everywhere to put serious pressure on Black in virtually every line. There are some superb games and ideas on this video!

Customer Service Beyond Expectation

First of all, the chess set is beautiful. I gave it to my son two Christmases ago and he plays it constantly. He is very proud of it. So...when our dog captured the pawn and chewed it, my son was bummed. I contacted Chess Central and they said that they would work on it. I totally forgot about it and figured I'd never hear back. Today, guess what arrived in the mail? The black pawn! My son actually did a little jig. Thank you, ChessCentral.

This is by far the most impressive chess set I've ever seen!!

Now you have to know up front when buying online I generally look at the three star and lower reviews, so I ordered this set with a lot of skepticism, just sure something was going to be FUBAR,...... Boy was I wrong!! I got the set and carefully un-packed it and was just amazed. It is PERFECT!! Seems that all the every flaw that had been complained about in the three star and less reviews had been addressed by the manufacturer!! So being eager to show it off and being a good ole boy, I invite my buddies over and we all set out on the porch {now that the weather is finally getting nice out} and play from noon until sunset. I enjoy all the compliments this beautiful the set gets, and everyone loves to play on it!!

I've shopped at ChessCentral three times now, and twice I've had questions about a particular product. I don't know much about chess software. Anyway, I was shocked to receive detailed answers later that same day! I mean, who does that? Shipping was fast and well packaged. All in all, a great chess website.
