Mastering the Classics

(OBS! Nedladdningsbar) Kasparov, Kramnik and Carlsen have all stated that studying the classics was an important element in their chess education. Bobby Fischer knew the games of Staunton, Morphy and Steinitz inside out. The great games of the past are an absolute goldmine of valuable chess lessons. Whilst opening trends come and go, many ideas remain true and can be used in our games today. GM Damian Lemos had this in mind when he decided to record a DVD on “Mastering the Classics”.
