Claus Dieter Meyer & Karsten Müller
Chess Tactics are the art of combat command. When tactics dominate concrete action is required immediately in order to put a plan into practice or to grab an opportunity. However in complicated positions and with determined resistance basic tactics are often insufficient and intuition, imagination and precision are necessary. The Magic of Chess Tactics DVD helps to develop these qualities and offers a multitude of highly interesting, thoroughly analysed examples as well as detailed explanations and exercises. The authors focus especially on positions which are beyond a quick solution and test concentration and calculating power.
The Magic of Chess Tactics, which, in 2002, was originally published as book in the USA has been considerably improved and expanded over the last few years. Now it is presented as training DVD, for the very first time in the popular ChessBase format together with Fritztrainer Videos, where Grandmaster Karsten Müller shows a selection of attractive duels. Beside quite a lot of corrections of the original book - some analysis even had to be turned upside down - this DVD contains many additional tactical brilliancies including a collection of the creative achievements of the five memorable great masters of attack: Tal, Spielmann, Nezhmetdinov, Stein and Bronstein. Magic of Chess Tactics is a demanding training DVD aimed primarily at aspiring chess players from club to master level.
FIDE Master Claus Dieter Meyer is one of the most experienced German "A-trainers" and is also well known as author and translator of numerous chess publications. Co-author Grandmaster Dr. Karsten Müller, who has played for the Hamburger SK in the German Bundesliga since 1988, is a trainer and author of books (e.g. Fundamental Chess Endings) and coaching DVDs. In 2007 the German Chess Federation honoured Müller as "trainer of the year".

Rustam Kasimdzhanov
In spite of the fact that many books have been written on tactics in chess, many players still find it extremely difficult to recognize tactical patterns and calculate ensuing lines. With this DVD the author not only gives a large number of examples of tactical motifs, trying to cover as many ideas as possible, but also suggests a method which will greatly help you to see various tactical motives and systemize your calculation. Video running time: 4hours 15 mins.
Rustam Kasimdzhanov was born in 1979 and is a grandmaster from Uzbekistan. In 2004 he shocked the chess world by winning the FIDE world chess championship title, beating a string of world-class players like Ivanchuk, Grischuk, Topalov and Adams in the process. Kasimdzhanov is a very deep player, who is able to explain chess ideas in an eloquent, lucid style, with a fine touch of humour. His lessons are both entertaining and instructive.

Rustam Kasimdzhanov
Rustam Kasimdzhanov explains tactics in the most amazingly simple way. In his opinion there are only three elements which are really important and which therefore decide most games: "pins", "double attacks" and "back rank weaknesses". The 2004 FIDE World Champion explains these three elements by starting from simple model positions and going on to examine progressively more complicated examples. One important factor in his explanations is always how to spot the underlying patterns in practical play and then bring them into existence. This is because it is rare to be able to execute tactical blows immediately - the correct preparatory moves have to be played first. The motifs he is dealing with occur so often in practice that Kasimdzhanov had absolutely no problem in finding sufficient up-to-date material.
