Welcome to our free and exclusive Short & Sweet repertoire! Inside, Grandmaster Surya Shekhar Ganguly shows you how to...Beat The Trendiest 1.d4 Move Order
With Opening Surprises Worthy Of The World Championship
Ganguly is an elite 2600-grandmaster... a former second of the 15th World Champion
Viswanathan Anand... and a highly respected Chessable author.
This mini-course is based on
Lifetime Repertoires: Nimzo & Semi-Tarrasch Part Two, with the principled Semi-Tarrasch at its core.
After the highly fashionable
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3, we strike in the center with
3...d5 and
4...c5. Exchange central pawns at the right time. And develop our pieces with maximum efficiency.
And with Ganguly guiding you through
33 core variations and
43 minutes of video, you won't just "know" the moves...
You'll Understand How To Squeeze
Every Ounce Of Advantage From Every Variation
Robust analysis and club player-friendly instruction are par for the course in every Chessable title. But Ganguly has a reputation for
going the extra 100 miles, and he made darn sure that this free course lives up to his name.
Beyond robust analysis, you'll find opening novelties and plans taken from Team Anand's vault. On top of that, every move is explained with utmost clarity. So you'll know just how to squeeze the maximum advantage from your position.
Here's what you'll learn:
💥 The only move you need to remember against an early Qa4+.
💥 Why castling isn't a top priority against the Catalan. And the two strategic maneuvers which guarantee you a pleasant game.
💥 Team Anand's tried and tested counter to the main line Catalan — analyzed since 2010 and played by every member of the team.
💥 When to trade pieces en masse in the Semi-Tarrasch. Your timing can mean the difference between suffering for 50 moves and a comfortable endgame where you have all the winning chances.
💥 The reason why almost every exchange in the Semi-Tarrasch tips the scales to your favor — and the exceptions that can ruin your position.
💥 How to break down the enemy center by seizing the squares opposing pieces leave behind. You'll want to replay this two-minute masterclass starting at 20:00.
Plus many more.
The course lasts less than an hour. Yet Ganguly's short video can save you years of guesswork, and improve every aspect of your chess.
But don't take our word for it. Sign up for this free repertoire today, and experience Ganguly's game-changing instruction yourself.
