When it comes to high-level opening instruction on Chessable, Grandmaster Peter Svidler is the standard to meet. Few authors match his elegance, skill to make deep theory understandable, and charisma to teach and entertain for hours.
While his recent activity as a chess commentator surely honed those skills, GM Svidler’s true presentation card is his immense strength as a player and recognition as a theorist.
Eight-time a Russian Champion (in modern times, no one has a hat-trick) and former world #4, GM Svidler, has fought and beat EVERYONE. Many of his memorable games were in the Grunfeld Defense, an opening in which he is regarded as the world’s #1 authority.
That’s why Lifetime Repertoires: Peter’s Svidler’s Grunfeld was a dream come true for many chess fans. The two-volume course lays the basics for a solid understanding of the Grunfeld and still offers theoretical coverage accurate enough to satisfy his fellow Super-GM.
But creating a course that boasts a 4.92 rating required more than Peter’s fantastic opening knowledge…the secret ingredient was his lifelong wish to collaborate on a project with Mr. Dodgy.
