It's FREE and a breeze to learn, too!Pump Creative Aggression To Your Play
With The Pseudo-Tromp
When Black answers 1.d4 with 1...d5, they're basically saying: "I'm a classical, ultra-solid player. Come at me!"
So you answer back with 2.Bg5!?
Whaaaaat!? 😲
This system is called the Pseudo-Trompowsky. The bishop on g5 may look like it's punching the air. But this odd-looking piece placement neutralizes many of Black's best defenses and drums up creative attacking opportunities for White.

This
Short & Sweet by FM Makaj is based on his practical and club-friendly course,
Calm & Collected: 1.d4.
One of the cornerstones of the repertoire is the eyebrow-raising Pseudo-Trompowsky, which can take people out of their prep as early as move two.
But more important than the element of surprise, this opening will teach you clever ways to attack... not just the king, but all sorts of juicy positional targets, too.
Our free course on the Pseudo-Trompowsky will teach you the basics of:
👌 Drawing the opponent into over-extending...
👌 ...so you can pick apart the weaknesses they leave behind
👌 Immobilizing the enemy pawns (so you can push yours)
👌 Mounting long-term pressure on the castled king
👌 And building a strategically WON gameThe fundamentals are covered in
just 30 core lines and
64 minutes of video-sync instruction. So you can start playing the opening in
just a few hours instead of days.
