Play And Win With The Catalan

Thanks to its space-grabbing pawns and g2-bishop cutting through the long diagonal, the Catalan has always been one of White's most reliable and safest ways to play for the point.

Inside Lifetime Repertoires: The Catalan, GM Narayanan infuses the already-reliable opening with ambitious and never-before-seen strategies from his chess lab.

Here's what you'll learn:

💎 Tried and tested plans for securing the edge in the main lines. From free-range bishops, iron-clad control of the center, to superior structures.

💎 How to get a vise-like grip on d5 against the King's Indian Defense, while your Catalan bishop provides long-range support to your central pawns.

💎 Neutralize the Modern Benoni's devious tricks with an exchange sacrifice, while you dominate the board with a mighty pawn phalanx.

💎 Stop the Benko Gambit's queenside counterplay cold. After which, it's only a matter of time before you break through with e4-e5 and unleash the power of your pieces.

💎 A smart move order which all but guarantees your e4-break against the Leningrad Dutch. Not even engine-assisted correspondence players can defend against White's strategy here.

💎 Turn the Slav's solid wall of pawns into a cage that suffocates their entire army. In contrast, your pieces get all the open lines they need to take over the game.

PLUS, GM Narayanan also arms you with antidotes against tricky sidelines like the Budapest and Albin Countergambit...giving you an all-in-one repertoire for White.
