From the Internet’s chess teacher…The GothamChess Guide To
Attacking With 1.e4
The GothamChess 1.e4 Repertoire combines principled opening play with offbeat execution to launch hard-hitting attacks — many of which score up to 70% before move 15.
It took inspiration from “under the radar” lines super-grandmasters play — then fused them into a complete and aggressive repertoire against 1…e5, the Sicilian, French Defense, Caro-Kann, and more.Levy Rozman has arrived on Chessable!

An Aggressive One-Volume 1.e4 Repertoire
Powerful Enough To Beat Grandmasters
In creating
The GothamChess 1.e4 Repertoire, Rozman examined the latest classical games from the toughest tournaments…
Cherry-picked the best “under the radar” openings played by
Magnus Carlsen (16th World Champion),
Alexandra Kosteniuk (2008 Women’s World Champion),
Jeffrey Xiong (peak 2712 FIDE),
Aryan Tari (peak 2672 FIDE),
Jonny Hector (peak 2609 FIDE), and other top players…
And fused everything into a principled but unique attacking repertoire. One that’s capable of blowing away even 2700-grandmasters.
Take the Carlsen Variation which is Rozman’s recommendation against the Dragon Sicilian:

The Carlsen Sicilian meets the Dragon’s fianchetto head on,
and launches an accelerated pawn storm
The Carlsen Variation plays according to classical principles. It grabs central space, and develops the queenside as quickly as possible.
But it’s also unorthodox, because it fianchettos the dark-squared bishop, and leaves the kingside untouched so that you can launch a pawn storm way faster than in normal Sicilians.
The rest of the repertoire follows the same combination of time-tested opening strategy and offbeat execution. Which is why many of the lines inside
win 6 to 7 games out of 10, sometimes before move 15!
Here’s a sneak peek:
💥 Against the classic 1…e5, you’ll seize critical squares across the board with the positionally aggressive Ponziani Opening…
💥 Or play the sharper Italian Game to start a tactical firefight you’re primed to win, thanks to Rozman’s accurate analysis.
💥 You’ll crank up your queenside development to the 5th gear versus the Sicilian (1…c5) — followed by an accelerated pawn storm just like in the Carlsen Variation.
💥 You’ll build a formidable center against the Caro-Kann (1…c6) with the Fantasy Variation. After which, you’ll either score a quick knockout, or reach a pleasant endgame if Black survives the onslaught.
💥 Against the French Defense (1…e6), you’ll slow down Black’s game to a crawl with the improved Milner-Barry Gambit. So you’ll always have more pieces in play.
Plus, you’ll also be given weapons against the Pirc (1…d6), Modern (1…g6), Alekhine (1…Nf6), and the Scandinavian Defense (1…d5). All of which are just as hard-hitting and energetic as the rest of the course!
