This Foxy Openings DVD teaches you all you need to know to get up and running with the unorthodox 1.b4!, the Sokolsky or "Orangutan" opening. Whites opening is very playable; indeed and has the obvious merit of steering the opponent into a uncharted position immediately, where you will know what is going on and your adversary will not! 1.b4 can be interpreted in many different ways - there are gambits, opposite wing attacks, and quiet position play. White often ends up with a central pawn majority after exchanging his b-pawn for Blacks c-pawn. In other lines, after b4-b5, the White pawn becomes a thorn in Blacks side. On this DVD International Master and Senior FIDE Trainer Andrew Martin will show you how to do handle this unusual opening. Video running time: 2 hours 12 minutes.
