Master The Chess Opening
That Pays Huge Rating Dividends
Whatever Color You’re Playing
You’re free to pick up any opening you like.
But if you want to massively improve your win rate with either color — as well as your overall chess IQ — then nothing else comes close to the Sicilian.
As Black, you’ll face 1.e4 in six out of ten games, and 1…c5 is the most testing way to meet it. If you already play 1.e4, you'll run into the Sicilian about 50% of the time. It clearly is one of the most important openings to improve your results and global understanding of the game.
Which is why, inside
Understanding Chess Openings: 1.e4 Part 3,
14th World Champion Vladimir Kramnik “feeds” you his hard-won mastery of 1.e4 c5. It’s the final piece in Kramnik’s hit series. And like parts one and two, it breaks away from the norm of your typical repertoire.
Sure, it has the cutting-edge analysis and eye-opening instruction you’d expect from a player of Kramnik’s caliber.
But unlike most opening courses — which focus only on one side and the author’s preferred variations —
Understanding Chess Openings: 1.e4 Part 3 gives you…
An In-Depth, Championship-Caliber
Survey Of The Sicilian From
Black's And White’s Point Of View
So that you can make informed choices during prep. Steer the game to your strengths. And maximize your winning chances with either color.
What you’ll see inside took Kramnik
35 years to master. But not you, because you’re taking a “shortcut” through
1000+ trainable variations and
38 hours of video.
You will learn about:
🏆 Thematic plans which quicken your decision-making and improve your strategic play. From Najdorf “knight tours” that cement your control of the center… precision pawn storms in the Rauzer… to Black’s “aggressive prophylaxis” in the Accelerated Dragon.
🏆 The ideal move orders to reach your Sicilian. For example, you’ll see why 2…Nc6 is the perfect lead-up to the Sveshnikov, but sucks for nearly everything else.
🏆 How to refute and “milk” the tricky but unsound gambits you see in the club — including a clean win by a 15-year-old Kramnik against the greatest attacker of all time.
🏆 Opening choices to suit your style and pace. Whether you’re into blitz, rapid or classical time controls, you’ll be given ways to sharpen the struggle… or take it to the steady positional waters you feel comfortable in.
And many more.
We’re confident that
Understanding Chess Openings: 1.e4 Part 3 will increase your confidence and improve your over-the-board performance… just like parts one and two did for many Chessablers.
Play Strong Even If You Forget The Concrete Lines
“Studying Kramnik's explanation, I get a certain "feeling" for the positions and can play them even if the game steps out of theory… And finally, it is an utter joy to learn from and to listen to the 14th World Champion, one of the greatest players in history.”
