Tired of trying to survive against 1.d4? If so, then this mini-repertoire by
International Master Christof Sielecki and
Grandmaster Erwin l’Ami is the game-changer you need.
Sielecki and l’Ami are two of the most highly regarded theoreticians and authors on Chessable — with nearly 5,000 four-to-five-star reviews from happy students.
Inside this
Short & Sweet course, they combine their analytical prowess and show you how to…
Play The Triangle Slav
The plan is simple. You’ll answer
1.d4 with
1…d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 or
3.Nc3 e6 — establishing a robust barricade of pawns in the center. But don’t think even for a minute that the Triangle Slav’s rock-solid structure means you must play defensively.
Far from it!
You see, by building a strong central foundation, your pieces are safe and free to move to the
most active squares available. Plus, your structure also prepares smart move order tricks, which “punish” White depending on their chosen set-up.
Sielecki and l’Ami give a complete low-down on this opening strategy in
Lifetime Repertoires: Triangle Slav. But this free mini-repertoire gets you started in the right direction in just
20 core variations.
Here are some of the punchy anti 1.d4 strategies you’ll pick up inside:
♟ If the first player develops the knights with 3.Nf3 and 4.Nc3, you’ll play the unbalanced Noteboom Variation where your two connected passed pawns on the queenside give you excellent winning chances in the endgame.
♟ Against the principled Marshall Gambit (4.e4), you’ll gain a three-pawn advantage, while White desperately tries to justify their sacrifice.
♟ Against the committal 4.e3, you’ll transpose to the Stonewall to gain an iron-grip on e4 and bury the enemy dark-squared bishop behind its pawns.
You’ll also get antidotes against the London System, Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, and the modern 2.Nf3.
Plus, with
2 hours of video to accompany the variations, it’s never been easier to follow Sielecki and l’Ami’s analysis. Give the Triangle Slav a shot, and add more flair to your anti 1.d4 repertoire.
