There is quite a lot of info about this recent DVD at

http://chessbase-shop.com/en/products/tiviakov_attacking_with_italian_and_ruy_lo...

Games in the lecture database are grouped according to theme, with Spanish (with Qe2) and Italian (d3,c3) treated together. Delaying castling (even later 0-0-0) in order to be able to launch the kingside pawns forward features heavily.

Some nice games, with good explanations, and some extras included on the DVD, but I found it a bit weak on theory.

For instance, so far I have been unable to find any recommendation for White against the 'obvious' line 3 Bc4 Nf6 4 d3 Bc5 5 c3 0-0!, as recommended in the excellent Chess Stars book on the open games.

However, there IS some coverage of this line in Kindermann's DVD, revamped for Chessbase, but its a bit tentative (more work needed etc.). For more info, see

http://chessbase-shop.com/de/products/kindermann_intelligentes_italienisch

For some it will be important that these, along with other recent Chessbase DVDs, have a degree of copy protection.

Yes, imagine the same slow c3 d3 Nf1-somewhere etc stuff.
Ideas can take us a fair way, and Tiviakov does appear to know the ins and outs well - a strong and practical player.

Attacking with the two of them? 

Presumably he will concentrate on the slow d3 systems in both and give loads of his own games, concentrating on thematic stuff?

Otherwise I don't understand the title!

Anyone have this? Thoughts? 
Enough useful stuff in terms of 'ideas', or...
...just 'Here's some of my games, and I'll waste time on an opening themed DVD explaining the latter stages too'?
I really liked his c3/Alapin sicilian DVD. 
Don't care re: robotic delivery, I like informed robots to uninformed humans. (Cut to origami crane).
