This DVD has emphasis on the ‘Center’ how to take an advantage there, and once secured, how to then approach with an attack on a different part of the board. Discussions of the theoretical openings and their control of the center is also considered.

In this long exclusive excerpt of the Center DVD from ‘The Club Player’s Manifesto’ By GM Damian Lemos we see the Grandmaster clearly explain the following points from the game Webb-Hartson:

1. Big center versus Black’s Hedgehog
2. Striving for well prepared …d5
3. Qb6 defends d6 and prepares Bd8-c7
4. Swopping Central Pawn advantage for different type of advantage
5. Rook activity through the center
