Description
Every time when you'll play with a black perspective it would be a little bit difficult because usually White side will chose the opening and you need to know how to react to it in a correct way. And this course will help you to build solid Repertoire for Black against everything White may play.
Every Opening from White covered. That's right - this is a lifetime repertoire covers every possible try from White in 6 hours video and you have the chance to train with PGN files which included inside the course.
So what's inside the course?
You’ll learn to fight 1.d4 and even 1.c4 and 1. Nf3 variations. Against 1.d4, your main weapon will be the Grunfeld defence well known for its tactical variations and of course, for one of the thoughest opening White to crack. This tried-and-true opening will stand up to master level play - and even offer a few nasty surprises to your opponents.
Against 1.e4, another opening with full of calculation stands for Sicilian. Well, the reason Sicilian you don't need to do much memorization as other openings and in most cases all you need would be to setup the simple structure. In the Anti-Sicilian variations Black often times plays with e6 structure which helps to cut off some theory and go straight to middlegames with good advantages.
