Try an Opening Repertoire for White Unlike Any Other
Looking for a surprise weapon with the White pieces?
Well, it doesn’t get much more surprising than 1.Nc3 - if you want to play a good, solid game, anyway!
Also known as the
Van Geet Opening or
Dunst Opening, this seemingly odd first move has long been written off as inferior because it is “too inflexible” and often transposes to main lines anyway.
But 1.Nc3 is back with a vengeance as
International Master Lawrence Trent has revived 1.Nc3 as “
The Modern Queen’s Knight Attack” with a
cutting-edge repertoire that pioneers a new chapter in opening theory.
With plenty of creative novelties checked and approved by the engine, this highly dynamic 1.Nc3 repertoire is sure to pose difficult problems to your opponent right out of the gate.
In this course, you’ll get a
free sample of a
complete 1.Nc3 repertoire for White where you’ll learn how to:
♞
Keep your opponent in the dark by steering them away from main lines. Many times, your opponent will try to steer the game back into something they know by playing 1…e6 (French), 1…f5 (Dutch), 1…c5 (Sicilian), and others. Learn how to keep the battle on your home turf and have your opponent second-guessing their every move
♞
Trick Black into thinking they’ve taken the center in the main lines with 1…d5 and 1…e5. If they think they know how to handle 1.Nc3, they’ll be thinking again when you unleash these slick novelties which work to undermine the center from the outside
♞
Learn the basic plans in each opening to keep the pressure up into the middlegame. These may be uncharted waters, but IM Trent will make sure you have the right compass to navigate them with an explanation of middlegame plans for each line
This course is an excellent introduction not only to 1.Nc3, but also the beginner-friendly teaching style of IM Trent. The rapid and blitz specialist and author of the popular
1…b6 Against Everything has received a lot of praise for his clear and well-thought explanations, and his 1.Nc3 course is no different!
So if you’re ready to nullify Black’s opening preparation with a unique repertoire that challenges them from Move 1, try
