The smashing video files go to Adrian Mikhalchishin,who was forced to play his own opening 1.d4 d5 2.Sf3 c5 3.dxc5 with reversed colours, Robert
Ris goes back in time with the game: Bronstein and Ljubomir Ljubojevic, at the Interzonal Petropolis Tournament of 1973 and Andrew Martin explains
in a very instructive way the classic: Capablanca-Tartakower, of New York 1924.
Conclusion: This is very important reference material!
