Lifetime Repertoires: Gajewski's 1. e4 − Part 2

🏆 Shortlisted for Best Opening Course for White 2022 🏆

A Champion’s Repertoire against the Sicilian, French, Caro-Kann and More

You don’t get strong by taking shortcuts.

And with this champion’s guide to taking down Black’s most popular openings against 1.e4, you will get stronger!

That’s because this course truly is a champion’s repertoire. Grandmaster Grzegorz Gajewski is not only a former Polish Chess Champion and master opening theoretician, he also helped World Champion Viswanathan Anand prepare his openings for more than seven years!

Now he brings his world-class opening and coaching knowledge to you, in the finale of his complete repertoire for White, Lifetime Repertoires: Gajewski’s 1.e4.

In Part 1, GM Gajewski outlined his powerful treatment of the Ruy Lopez and other 1.e4 e5 openings. And in Part 2, he takes the same winning approach to Black’s other main defenses: think long-term, stay solid and flexible, and fear no challenge.

That’s why in every opening, he doesn’t offer any “cheapos” or lines with only surprise value - he goes for what he thinks is objectively strong and poses Black the most difficult practical problems to solve.

In this course, you will learn how to:

♚ Go for the throat in the Sicilian with speedy kingside attacks. GM Gajewski’s 6.Rg1 against the Najdorf is sure to kick off some interesting battles! Plus, you’ll learn the vigorous Rossolimo against 2…Nc6 and other pressurizing setups

♚ Enter into French complications and come out on top. With 3.Nc3, you’ll welcome the exotic positions of the Winawer and Steinitz, but when you learn the pawn structures and theory, you’ll find out they’re paper tigers

♚ Press for the space in the Caro-Kann and Alekhine’s Defense. As a principled opening theoretician, GM Gajewski says that if your opponent offers you space in the center, you take it! No surprise, he recommends an aggressive Advance Variation in the Caro and Four Pawns Attack in the Alekhine Defense

Plus, you’ll learn how to make Black regret playing the Scandinavian, Nimzowitsch Defense, and other offbeat openings. Combined with Part 1, you’ll have everything you need to play like 1.e4 openings like a pro.

A Champion’s Repertoire Built for Improving Players

But just because it’s a champion’s repertoire, it doesn’t mean you need to already be a master to learn it. Quite the contrary!

GM Gajewski is an experienced chess coach - and not just to world champions. His video walkthroughs outlining the long-term plans and strategic focal points garnered him stellar reviews for Part 1, and he takes the same approach to Part 2. He may not fear complications over the board, but his explanations are clear and simple.
