A separate defense against 1.e4, 1.d4, 1.c4 and 1.Nf3?

For Black And Hit White Where
They Least Expect It!
Wouldn't it be great if you can drag the first player out of their comfort zone
on the very first move... and set them up for a head-snapping counter no matter what they play?
If you like the sound of that, then we've got wonderful news for you.
After the release of his first ever Chessable course,
International Master Lawrence Trent returns to the platform to give you a sneak peek into his practical, provocative and punchy repertoire for Black.
Known by fans as "the Voice of Chess," Lawrence rose to fame by delivering club player-friendly commentary to high-profile events, including the London Chess Classic... the 2013 World Cup... and the Anand-Carlsen World Championship Match.
As a player, Lawrence has beaten 2500- and 2600-Elo grandmasters by taking them "out of book" with offbeat openings, and forcing them to dance to his tune.
In this free sample from his main course, Lawrence combines accessible instruction with his mastery of lesser-known (but dangerous) openings to show you how to...
Play And Win With 1...b6
In Just 24 Core Lines
With Lawrence's starter kit on 1...b6, you eliminate the need for separate defenses against 1.e4, 1.d4, 1.c4 and 1.Nf3... saving you valuable study time.
But the best part?
Most players will try to 'punish' your 'dubious' opening by building as massive of a pawn center as possible — only to realize that their proud structure is a
sitting duck for your nimble knights and bishops.
Inside
Short & Sweet: 1...b6 , you will learn...
🥊 How to
undermine White's pawn phalanx after 1.e4, leaving them with long-term weaknesses for you to pick on.
🥊 When to play the
tempo-gaining ...Bb4+ against 1.d4 setups, so that you get a
vise-grip on the central light squares.
🥊 How to
exploit the London System's stiff structure with the ultra-flexible Hedgehog set-up. Thanks to your 'spring-coiled' formation along the third rank, you're always one pawn break away from taking over the initiative.
🥊 The
"delayed castling" strategy which takes the sting out of King's Indian Attack. PLUS, a counterintuitive move which gives you a near-
unstoppable pawn storm.
PLUS many more.
As a bonus, Lawrence supplements the trainable variations with
50 minutes of video — so you can start playing 1...b6 in just two hours or less.
