Take Off with the Petroff
It’s the opening that shut down
even Magnus Carlsen’s 1.e4 in the 2018 World Chess Championship, and has been favored by the pros ever since.
But the Petroff Defense is one of the best defenses against 1.e4 for
pros and amateurs alike. That’s because this rock-solid opening cuts out the theoretically heavy Ruy Lopez, Italian Game and Scotch - but offers plenty of its own opportunity for rich, combative chess!
In this
free Short & Sweet course, award-winning Chessable author and
International Master Christof Sielecki shows you how to start playing the Petroff like the world’s foremost expert:
