Attention 1. e4 players!
Have you ever arrived at the game super-prepared for a theoretical battle in the sharp Sicilian or the Berlin endgame, only to be stumbled by a rare 1... d6 or 1... g6 move?
Fear no more!
Chessforlife has developed an
ambitious and
practical repertoire that will
give you the upper hand in just 150 lines.
Crush the Pirc, Modern & Philidor
Navigating hypermodern openings like the Pirc, the Modern, and the Philidor with all their different move orders and unconventional play is not easy. Black players employing these lines are usually experienced specialists, ready to confuse you and exploit their chances.
However, strong GMs treat these openings as second-rate choices for good reason.
The biggest drawback of the Pirc, Modern, and Philidor is that Black surrenders the center. So what should White do? It’s simple really. Take over the center!
Unleash White’s most powerful system: The Austrian Attack
The cornerstone of this repertoire is the so-called Austrian Attack. By pushing Freddy the f-pawn two squares up the board, White establishes the strong e4-d4-f4 central phalanx, ready to sweep everything in its path.
The Philidor Defense is also carefully examined. Using a clever twist on the mainline, the author shows you how to get a significant edge!
Turbo-charge your repertoire with cutting-edge analysis and dozens of novelties!
Chessforlife dissected these openings with the latest versions of Stockfish and Leela, the revolutionary neural network engine, running on powerful cloud computers.
A remarkable example is the 5…c5 variation in the Pirc Defense. This was recommended in the brand new (August 2020) book
The Modernized Modern Defense by GM Daniel Fernandez. However, Chessforlife came up with a
strong novelty that gives White the
advantage in this topical mainline!
You name it, it's covered. This repertoire is incredibly comprehensive. Find out how to get a clear advantage against all of Black’s secondary systems, including the Black Lion, Tiger’s Modern and the Sniper.
The course also includes:
✔️
Over 35k words of clear instruction and tons of visual aids explaining all the key ideas and plans.
✔️
12 annotated model games covering thematic middlegame strategies and maneuvers.
✔️
