For 1.d4 players: Take Your Opponent Off The Beaten Path, Out Of Their Prep,
And Into A World Of Positional Pain
How would you like to play an opening where you get more space, better minor pieces AND the initiative?
One where you can play for an almost risk-free advantage?
And one where your opponent is out of their opening preparation and faced with ideas they’ve probably never seen before?
Well, if you like the sound of that, then you might be interested in
Grandmaster Srinath Narayanan’s free course on the Catalan Opening.
Learn the Catalan In Just 25 Core Variations
In this
Short & Sweet, GM Narayanan steers clear of the well-known and theoretically-exhausted variations your opponents will have prepared for.
Instead, he explores fresh ideas - computer-checked, of course - that breathe new fire into the Catalan dragon.
These ideas range from positional binds - where you’re playing for an initiative with little risk- to explosive attacks if black grabs your c-pawn and tries to hold on to it.
Even if you don’t want to play the Catalan, this is for you
Even if you don’t want to play the Catalan, this free course is a must-have for anyone who plays 1. d4, 2. c4. That’s because, as well as the Catalan proper, it gives you weapons against many of black’s most annoying defences - like the KID, Dutch, Benko and Benoni.
Short & Sweet: The Catalan shows you how to:
👌 Punish greedy opponents who try to hold on to your gambited pawn
👌 Take control of the board as your opponent’s tangled pieces trip over each other
👌 Crash through the kingside with stunning piece sacrifices
👌 Turn the tables on the King’s Indian with a shocking exchange sacrifice that gives you a crushing attack
👌 Smash open the QGA with one of Mikhail Tal’s favorite sacrifices
👌 Seize the initiative against annoying gambits like the Budapest or the Albin counter-gambit
👌 Unleash your g2 “Dragon” bishop against the Benko and Benoni with a well-timed e5. All this - and more - delivered in
just 25 core lines and
101 minutes of video-sync instruction.
