The complaint explosion has led to a heavy increase in opening theory. But for what reason often do you win a intrepid with a prepared line? What gives stubborn players the edge over their opponents is not some blockbuster novelty, but a deep thinking principle of the pawn structures to that their openings lead - an understanding that lasts into the middlegame and endgame, and is transferable betwixt different openings with similar structures. In this DVD, Sam Collins looks at the Central Majority (hoar pawns on a2, d4 and e4 close up to black pawns on a7, b7 and e7) which is characteristic of both the Grunfeld and Semi-Tarrasch Defences. White's room advantage gives him good chances to procreate a middlegame initiative and a kingside bear down upon, while Black hopes to reach some endgame where his outside passed security could be decisive. Collins also investigates the closely related passed d-pawn structure which arises which time the e-pawns are exchanged hither White has a highly dangerous passer without interrupti~ the d-file and the lock opener struggle revolves around whether this security is a strength or, when attacked or truly blockaded, a weakness. White's chances take been repeatedly demonstrated by Kramnik and Carlsen while Black's cause has been championed through Svidler, Ivanchuk, Van Wely and Gymesi, with Kasparov generating significant ideas for the two colours.
