The Catalan is one of the most solid openings for White. It forms part of
the large and strong fianchetto family in which White builds his strategy
mainly around the bishop on g2. The current DVD covers all of Black’s
replies to the Catalan, some of which can even transpose to other openings
such as the Tarrasch System and the Queen’s Indian. The author’s idea is,
as it was in previous DVDs he has published in this area, to help White
against all classical setups for Black. Though the DVD is aimed at players
of the white pieces, it still might be useful for those who have Black so
that they will better understand the coming threats. It would make little
sense to mention all the strong players who include the Catalan in their
repertoire. Suffice it to say that the Catalan rules! Video running time:
5 hours 29 minutes.
