Many times, when a top player blunders, it is routinely described by the
esoteric term “chess blindness“. In this series What Grandmasters Don‘t
See, chess trainer and worldclass commentator Maurice Ashley strips away
the myth and for the first time explains why the root of these mistakes is
more often based in the psychology of human learning. In this DVD, Volume
2 of the three part series, Ashley shows that no other standard tactical
theme is more over-rated, overlooked and misunderstood than the Discovered
Attack. In each example, Ashley illustrates how often players are confused
by discovered attacks because the examples in the majority of chess books
are poorly chosen to show how this important tactical idea really works in
most practical games. In the first half of the DVD, Ashley uses
interesting and entertaining positions to explain the points in his
trademark effervescent style. The second half of the DVD is filled with
examples to test what you have learned about discovered attacks, with a
series of exercises of increasing difficulty. The material is drawn both
from classic and from recent games. Video running time: 3 hours 36 minutes
