Nigel Davies:
Build a 1.d4 Repertoire Creating a Repertoire can be a difficult and demanding job, especially for
those with limited study time. Attempts to implement a lot of new openings at the
same time can set a player adrift in a sea of unknown chess patterns. This in turn can
have a catastrophic impact on their game.
On this DVD Nigel Davies explains how to go about this process of building a repertoire
the right way, with a minimal amount of stress or sweeping wholesale changes.

AMD plays its first game with Vishy Anand
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a well-known name in the computer processors
market, has roped in a brand ambassador for its range of products for the very
first time. World Chess Champion Viswanathan Anand has been brought on board
globally to endorse AMD’s range of products.
Apart from bringing in Anand to speak for its brand values, the company has
put together a communication strategy that includes its first brand focussed
TV commercial and other media, too.
The first brand centric TVC was launched last week, seven years after the company
came into India in 2001. The 30 second film features Anand, who is shown playing
cricket, but unable to play the game with any kind of aptitude. Next, he is
shown communicating to the viewers that in a cricket crazy nation like ours,
where everyone aims to be a cricketer, he chose to pursue chess because that
was what he was best at. He is seen establishing a connect between his personal
decision to play chess and getting consumers to think in a similar manner while
choosing a processor for their computer.
