The Real Best of Linares
Andres Segovia - have a read and a listen.
Note: this article was originally published on ChessBase's Spanish language site - just scroll down below the round 9 recap. I note this for the benefit of Spanish readers and photo lovers, as that page often has a goodly amount of material (both text and photography) not on the English page and presumably not on the German page either. Here's an amusing gem of sorts; ironically with an English language punchline: GM Jacob Aagaard teaching en passant and the 4-move checkmate on what I guess is a whiskey commercial. I'm certainly not advocating the product, but it would sure be nice - and very different! - were such ads possible on American TV.

Seriously now, my mom wants to learn how to play chess (for fun) and I think the Aagaard commercials might help her. She's having difficulty wrapping her mind around en passant as a matter of fact.
