If you dream of a White repertoire that provides you with flexible play and solid winning chances, this Short & Sweet is the start of your journey.
A Repertoire designed to hurt
Short & Sweet: 1.Nf3: presents you with the positional mini-repertoire International Master Yuriy Krykun has played for the last ten years. That’s from amateur to IM!
But positional doesn’t mean toothless. Things can get pretty funky. For example, in the Anti-Dutch and Ant-Slav with 3…Bg4, White sacrifices an exchange for an attack. The best part is that you’ll surely get these positions, as
previous authors failed to address the cutting-edge ideas that Yuriy is recommending in those lines. It’s quite telling that most lines are “Anti-Black’s pet line”: this repertoire is
designed to make Black’s life hard.
Flexibility is the key. Across just 18 trainable lines, you’ll learn pawn structures and different piece dispositions. The beauty of the concept is that it allows you to start rocking 1.Nf3 and enriches your overall chess too!
Here are some ideas you can learn from this course and use forever, in any opening:
♘ Grabbing more space in the queenside and pushing Black’s pieces to sterile squares
♘ Lining up a deadly Bishop pair and Queen double battery against the enemy kingside
♘ Exploiting open files in symmetrical structures to harass the enemy Queen
♘ Lure your opponent to activate your minor pieces in the center
♘ How to build the tension and put the onus on Black to solve it—to your favor!
♘ Keys to punish routinary play and rob Black in their sleep with purposeful opening play
Learn along with one of Chessable’s top authors
IM Yuriy Krykun is one of Chessable’s top authors. The mastermind behind
Unleash the Bull,
The Dynamic Italian, and
The Accelerated Queen’s Indian Defense is highly sought after by club players.
Why? Because Yuriy is a
natural-born teacher.
His trademark approach, “high word-count, low variations,” is just what players need to get out of the slumber of engine lines and
understand the positions they play.
And this free course is a great example of it.
Yuriy’s superpower is laying the essence of any position through lengthy explanations and supporting variations to help you learn
plans and ideas over theory.
And it reaches its highest point in
1.Nf3: The Reversed Queen’s Indian, the mother course this Short & Sweet is based on. There, you get the same quality approach to a hard-to-meet repertoire, but bigger and better: model games, pawn structure breakdowns, theoretical sections, what-not-to-do guides, and much more!
Plus, it’s the most concise White full repertoire on site!
Ask Black the uncomfortable questions with the flexible 1.Nf3 and enjoy a head-up into a fighting game
