Your Plan to Defeat 1.d4
Time after time, he's brought you simple, complete, repertoires that don't require endless memorization, and they've all been smash hits:
The Beginner’s 1.e4 Repertoire,
The Beginner’s 1.d4 Repertoire, and
The Beginner's Black Repertoire: 1.e4 e5.
Now International Master Andras Toth is back with the same formula Chessablers have come to love, and this time he’s teaching you how to effectively neutralize the Queen's Pawn game with 1…d5.
The core concept of
The Beginner's Black Repertoire: 1.d4 d5 is to steer away from mainstream recommendations and trends and present to you a
dynamic, fundamentally sound, and principled 1.d4 d5 repertoire.
It's a proven recipe for success because you get IM Toth's expert instruction focusing on:
✅
Minimal memorization - you aim to understand the ideas of each opening, not just the moves
✅
A simple repertoire - yet one that prepares you for fight in the most aggressive fashion
✅
Detailed explanations and annotated model games - each response you face has its own dedicated chapter of model games for you to cruise into a successful middlegame and endgame
The main focus of this course is on the Classical Slav - which not only works against the traditional Queen's Gambit, but against anything White might throw at you.
The Classical Slav starting position - the basic blueprint for your repertoire
This full repertoire is suitable for beginners all the way up to 2000 FIDE-rated players.
That's because inside you get:
♛
An opening and middlegame battle plan against all of White's viable 1.d4 openings including against the Queen's Gambit as well as all of White's "systems", such as the London and Colle Systems
♛
Ideas to fight Reti and English systems - this triangle slav formation the course is based on is effective against 1.Nf3 and 1.c4 as well
♛
An active and aggressive way to combat 1.d4 - usually a slower game than 1.e4, you get maximum activity with minor piece play and an active light-squared bishop
