Sebastian Mihajlov is an International Master, opening theoretician and chess streamer from Norway.
A rising star in the chess community, IM Mihajlov has already achieved glowing tournament results - most notably winning the Norwegian Junior Championship. But you’re much more likely to find this young pro playing online rather than over the board. Always the entertainer, you can find him streaming his blitz and bullet games on popular chess outlets, where he is sure to put on an exciting show - his blitz and bullet online ratings each nearly top 2700 Elo!
Of course, when you’re playing speed chess, strong knowledge of the opening is absolutely essential. And as an opening theoretician, IM Mihajlov not only has his openings down to a T, he’s even pioneered some of his own novel battle plans for maximum advantage right out of the gate.
You can see his take-no-prisoners approach to the opening in his courses, too. His philosophy is simple - you can win a game right out of the opening, so you should fight for every possibility to do so. Therefore it is no surprise that in his debut Chessable course, you’ll get some of the most ambitious, aggressive lines for everything after 1.e4 for White. Check it out below and stay tuned for more from this purveyor of energetic chess.
