The High Pressure Alapin Sicilian

🏆 Shortlisted for Course of the Year 2020 🏆

Get your hands on this if you play 1.e4...

A Modernized Anti-Sicilian
Built To Slay 2700+ Grandmasters,
Now YOURS!

How would you like to disarm Black's most dangerous lines after 1...c5, so you can build a stronghold on d4 and rally your pieces around it?

If you like the sound of that, then we invite you to join Grandmaster Johan-Sebastian Christiansen in his first ever Chessable course.

The High Pressure Alapin Sicilian is one of GM Christiansen's most lethal weapons, which he prepared for Grandmaster Jorden Van Foreest.

GM Van Foreest was the lowest rated player in the Tata Steel Masters 2020. But when the dust settled after 13 rounds, he emerged 4th place ahead of many top 100 players... and took the scalp of 2700-grandmasters using the Alapin.

If The High Pressure Alapin Sicilian can flatten even the world's best GMs, imagine the crushing victories you'll chalk up against the players in your club.

Here's Why You'll Love The Alapin Sicilian

💎 Uncompromising and robust. Instead of relying on temporary activity, the Alapin starts with 2.c3 and invests in a rock-solid structure to create winning chances... while still keeping plenty of attacking ideas in the back pocket.

💎 Drag your opponent out of their comfort zone. GM Christiansen's interesting move choices poses tough problems, which one cannot solve with sensible-looking moves. (In one of the main lines, the natural ...Nc6 and ...Nf6 get thrashed with a counter-intuitive capture.)

💎 Easily secure an edge against less critical tries. Your second move packs a positional threat, demanding an equally energetic and precise response. Anything less and you'll cruise to a middlegame, with a formidable pawn phalanx and centralized, "ready for action" pieces.

With 233 trainable variations and over 12 hours of video, this repertoire is manageable and light.

Plus, the 19 Quickstarter variations shows you the essentials of 2.c3. So you can start playing the opening in as little as one hour.
