Thx for the informative overview.

"This exchange was often employed in his day by the unofficial world champion Anderssen, but has of recent years disappeared almost entirely from tournament play.  In my opinion there are two main reasons for this.  Firstly, White does not obtain particularly good attacking chances with this exchange, and secondly, he attains good play without much trouble by the normal 5 e5."

I'm sure Martin enthusiastically shows the game Alekhine - Asgeirsson (Simul 1931), featured in Vukovic's Art of Attack, but i think Alekhine-Chatard gambit would be more promising and more fun besides.

I bought this fun DVD last week expecting some nice chaotic chess and the usual motivational, informal style of AM. They are both very much there

There are 36 annotated games (some old ones from the 70's but most of it after 2010, if I recall correctly!), 8 of which are just introductory (for example Nakamura-Mamedyarov Tal Memorial 2013, but don't worry, that's the only blitz game) and the other 28 on "theory." He spends most of the 28 games on 3 .. Nbd7 and 3 .. c6, against which we recommends 4 Qd3, although he shows 4 e3 as a viable candidate, aiming for a strange Stonewall with f4 and Nf3. Then he goes on to show a few games with 3 .. c5, the recommendation of Avrukh, against which he goes 4 Bxf6 gxf6 (he covers exf6 as well, dismissing it) 5 e3 Nc6 6 Qh5. Avrukh refrains from taking early with cxd4, an approach that I couldn't find on the DVD but what can you do. Other moves that are covered are 3 .. h6, Bf5, Ne4, g6, against all of which he espouses Bxf6. He recommends taking the knight (Anderssen attack, he calls it?) if black goes for a french defence: 1 d4 d5 2 Nc3 Nf6 3 Bg5 e6 4 Nf3 Be7 5 Bxf6. I'm not a French expert but I'm pretty sure it's not a critical continuation :p anyway, watching him explain it it sounds like a great weapon, lol. A problem with the DVD is there is no indication on which variation starts where, just the game numbers, not very good. There are also one or two mistakes in game orders (he starts new variations before he wraps up old ones), but I guess that's OK. He has 8 interactive exercises but I haven't done them yet, so no comments. Please ask if you have specific questions.
