Chess Blitz Fever by Alexandra Kosteniuk

The introduction is followed by about eight minutes of advice on how to play blitz and eight lightly annotated games.

The eight minutes of advice was so general that her tips approached being trivial. At one point she advises with a straight face that you should always try to play the best move. Another gem includes the advice that traps may be of some value.

The eight games save this from being a one star review, but they are of limited value, since her analysis of the games is very light and proceeds at almost the same rapid pace as the games were played.

I am only a club player, so take my review with grain of salt. Your mileage may vary. I bought this dvd because I usually play slow time control games OTB, and only recently I started playing Blitz. So I was looking for some ideas that would contrast play in normal time control games with blitz and help me improve my game. I found little of value.
