This Foxy Openings DVD teaches you all you need to know to get up and running with the unorthodox 1.b4!, the Sokolsky or \"Orangutan\" opening. White\'s opening is very playable; indeed and has the obvious merit of steering the opponent into a uncharted position immediately, where you will know what is going on and your adversary will not! 1.b4 can be interpreted in many different ways - there are gambits, opposite wing attacks, and quiet position play. White often ends up with a central pawn majority after exchanging his b-pawn for Black\'s c-pawn. In other lines, after b4-b5, the White pawn becomes a thorn in Black\'s side. On this DVD International Master and Senior FIDE Trainer Andrew Martin will show you how to do handle this unusual opening. Video running time: 2 hours 12 minutes. The Foxy Chess Openings Series is a timeless collection of Grandmaster openings explained simply enough to comprehend at any level. These DVDs will improve your rating and give you a greater understanding of the openings discussed, regardless of your present playing level. This fine DVD should be in every chess player\'s video library - but are you prepared for mental combat? To enhance your enjoyment we\'ve included FREE the epic Art of War by Sun Tzu, completely re-mastered for the 21st century by ChessCentral. This e-book was taken from the first English translation by Lionel Giles, then painstakingly edited for textual errors while restoring Giles\' beautiful rendering of the Chinese original. Not only has the full commentary by Giles been retained, but period Chinese art tastefully evokes the feel of Sun Tzu\'s masterpiece. Now you\'re ready to play chess!
