Lifetime Repertoires: Berlin Defense. It's a complete 1.e4 e5 repertoire for Black, where every variation gives you a airtight position and a safe haven for your king.
In this free and Chessable-exclusive starter kit, Sam distills the most critical variations from his full course into...
Just 20 Key Variations
You Can Learn Within The Hour
At the core of this repertoire is the Berlin Defense — arguably the most "unbreakable" defense against 1.e4.
After the classical
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5, we play
3...Nf6 to initiate exchanges and leave White an unpleasant choice. Will they allow the exchanges and lose their attacking potential? Or prevent them at the cost of being passive?
Either way, you're only a few precise moves away from complete equality and safety... and Sam will show you exactly how to get there.
In
just 20 core variations and
32 minutes of video, you'll learn how to play — not just the Berlin Defense — but an arsenal of grandmaster-tested lines that take the sting out of 1.e4:
💪 From sidelines like the Center Game and King's Gambit
💪 Four Knights
💪 Scotch Opening
💪 Italian Game
💪 To Anti-Berlin Variations and the main lines
