Attention: 1.e4 players!
We will show you 161 ways to exploit the drawbacks of 1...d5
The Scandinavian is a tough nut to crack...and a freaky one at that!
The second player loses everything: time, space, and piece activity. But, ultimately, Black's position out of the opening is solid as rock. Trying to blow the second player off the board is a recipe for overextension and disaster.
To slay 1...d5, you need to:
1. Build a lasting advantage.
2. And craft a plan to drive the point home.
Slaying the Scandi got both steps covered.
A sound opening repertoire from people who've been there, done that
The authors Michael Porcelli and Dr Eryk Hargrove are USCF experts, both 1.e4 devotees.
They know the struggle of playing against 1...d5. The pain when you fail to turn a promising position to a win. And this course is their solution.
⚔️ Ready to slay against Black's most popular lines. We get to the first major fork in the road after 1.e4 d5 2.exd5. But whichever route Black chooses, you'll have enough ammo to tip the game to your favor.
⚔️ Based on time-tested principles every player can understand. Our repertoire meets 2...Qxd5 with the tempo-gaining 3.Nc3, while 2...Nf6 gets slapped by another developing move 3.Bb5+. In both cases, we will follow up with 4.d4, starting a central takeover. Simple, good chess!
⚔️ Get ready-made strategies beyond the opening. Get clear-cut middlegame plans at the end of each of the 161 trainable lines. Know the weaknesses to attack; the ways to neutralize the opponent's ideas; and how to put Black to sleep should the chance arise.
⚔️ Stay on top and feel at home. All trainable lines in this course have been engine-tested and give White the better game. But more than analysis and variations, you will also learn how to use your trumps...even if Black deviates form theory.
⚔️ BONUS chapters to complete your training. Check out the chapters on model games and tactics to see the opening and the must-know ideas in action.
The Scandinavian defense has come a long way - from a second-rate opening to a low-maintenance but steely defense even GMs play. It's here to stay, and there's no better time to start preparing against it than TODAY.
