The perfect appetizer for GM David Anton's 1.e4 e5
GM David Anton was already a strong player when he picked up 1.e4 e5. It's just the best battleground to equalize as Black, fight for the initiative, and seek a win. But for non-Super GMs, it's classical strategical education.
So this free course will teach the basics of 1.e4 e5: the best squares for your pieces, typical plans, and how to launch a direct attack as Black. You will see how GM Anton faces the Spanish Game, its deviations, and his recipes against the Italian, the Scottish, and some common gambits.
But above all, it is an excellent opportunity to learn chess with one of the best players in the world. Beyond the theory behind
1.e4 e5, you will discover typical maneuvers that can serve you in any middlegame.
For example:
💡
The method to ensure the presence of your dark-squared Bishop on the vital g1-a7 diagonal. It will often be the best piece on the board, so don't let it get traded!
💡
The Knight's transfer from c6 to the King's side... to access the juicy f4 and annoy the white King.
💡
The tactical motif that allows you to break on d5 without over-defending e5. It is strategically desirable, and many of your opponents will fall for it too!
💡
How to piece-exchange your way to favorable pawn structures. So that your attacking opportunities improve or your weaknesses get covered.
💡
The plan to gain space on the queenside that your pieces will appreciate, which does not interfere with your active intentions on the kingside.
You can gain this knowledge through one hour of video instruction and studying 20 trainable lines. But the returns will stay with you forever!
And will benefit your overall game.
So if you like attacking chess with solid positional foundations, this practical repertoire is for you.
