Victor Bologan Bücher

In heutigen Zeiten sind gut kommentierte, autobiografisch geprägte Partiesammlungen eine Seltenheit geworden. Um so positiver ist daher das Werk von Viorel Bologan zu bewerten. Bologan beschreibt seine Anfänge in Moldawien, sein Leben in Moskau und die Entwicklung zum Großmeister, das wechselhafte Auf und Ab als Profi-Schachspieler bis hin zu seinem Sieg bei den Dortmunder Schachtagen 2003. Dabei gibt er offen und ehrlich Einblick in seine schachlichen und persönlichen Gedanken. Garri Kasparow schreibt im Vorwort: 'Ich denke, dieses Buch sollten alle Schachspieler lesen, die an ihrer Vervollkommnung weiterarbeiten wollen. [.] In jedem Falle darf man hoffen, dass dieses Buch die jungen Schachspieler für ein tieferes Studium der Schachklassik begeistern wird, für ein konzentriertes Arbeiten nicht bloß mit den Computerdatenbanken, sondern auch mit Schachbüchern und in der Hauptsache: Dass in ihnen der Wunsch lebendig wird, ihre eigenen Partien zu kommentieren.'The Chebanenko Slav According to Bologan'

Chebanenko's move 4...a6 in the Slav Defence has grown into one of the main systems for Black. It is an extremely flexible and almost universal weapon against the Queen's Gambit. The Chebanenko Slav is very popular among top chess players such s Victor Bologan, the author of the book, and Alexi Shirov. Club and internet players like it because it offers Black solidity and active counterplay in all lines. Victor Bologan is a world-class chess player, writes in a very accessible style and has included many tips, tests and tools.

The Queen’s Indian Defense is one of the most solid and rich openings against 1.d4. Together with the Nimzo-Indian and the Catalan it forms the so called “Classical Setup”, which any player should know. The Queen’s Indian is a favorite of both top players and amateurs. Top players like the solid structure of Black’s set-up that offers a lot of scope for interesting play and new ideas, amateurs like that the variation is easy to learn and understanding the position is more important than memorizing lines. Victor Bologan has enjoyed the advantages of the Queen’s Indian defense for many years in open and in top tournament. He says: “The soul of the opening, the most important piece, is course the bishop on b7. Please remember this and keep it active.” Every chess enthusiast, from beginner to high level player, can profit from this DVD. Enrich your chess vocabulary, be open to new ideas: play the Queen’s Indian!
