This underrated opening is just what you need to shake things up in your repertoire - and shake up your opponent, too.
International Master Irina Bulmaga just launched Chessable's first Bogo-Indian course for Black, and she convincingly explains why the Bogo is the answer!
And in this free Short & Sweet course, she gives you a sample of how the Bogo-Indian can
re-energize your repertoire in just 24 lines.The Bogo-Indian is a strong, elegant system that derives its power from its
flexibility and
dynamism. In many variations, Black owns the center with a
beautiful b7 bishop, which provides supporting fire for the rooks and queen in a rapid kingside attack.
In some variations, Black can even castle queenside and launch the h- and g-pawns up the board for a hostile kingside takeover!
But the true flexibility comes from the pawn structure. IM Bulmaga succinctly explains how Black can adjust the pawn structure to combat any response from White in a dynamic yet positionally solid manner.
In fact, sometimes you'll quickly trade down into an endgame where Black has at least dynamic equality and strong winning chances thanks to effective pawn placement and principled piece exchanges.
Give the Bogo-Indian a try with this free Short & Sweet course and find out for yourself how this underrated opening can breathe new life into your games. You'll get:
♛ A potent alternative to fighting 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 which focuses on
