(Cao Sang – Bologan, Dresden 2007)Certainly a good DVD!
Bologan coverage is a little bit dry and theoretical, bute his aim is not to get chessfriends enthusiastic about the C-K but to lay out a reliable repertoire. You see the whole notation of the main games but Bologan´s lectures are only about the opening and the early middlegame: his coverage usually stops somewhere between move 10-25.
Black´s C-K problems on elite level are obviously different from those below master level, the coverage of g6-Panov and KIA (video1 is mainly about 2d3 d5 3Nd2 e5 4Ngf3 Bd6 5d4, only 3min about 5g3) are interesting but (too) short. Coverage of Advance 3...Bf5 and Classical system seems to be excellent.
