This course is about chess openings and I believe you know how important they are. According to the statistics right-playing of the opening makes from 30 to 60% of your success (the exact number depends on your level).
This course consists of 6 sections. 4 of them are devoted of how to play for white and 2 – how to play for black.
What exactly do I teach in this course? I will teach you how to play against 2 Knights defense, Evans Gambit, against Scandinavian defense and Anti-Sicilians: Rossolimo and Moscow Variations.
As for black I will teach you Sicilian Defense: Paulsen Variation. If your opponent plays d4 as a first move, then I demonstrate you how to play Slav Defense: the exchange variation, the main line and some secondary lines.
I designed this course for beginners and club players with FIDE rating from 1200 to 2000. But if you don’t have FIDE rating, this is not a problem and it shouldn’t stop you from taking this course. Some lines I show in this course can be used even if you are FIDE Master or International Master.
