Peek Into The Mind Of The 14th World Champion
And Sharpen Your 1.e4 Chops
If you'd love to master the nuances of the king's pawn game, so you can play it to its fullest potential, then the 8th highest rated player in chess history will show you the fast-track to 1.e4 success.
The 14th World Champion,
Grandmaster Vladimir Kramnik, has played both sides of 1.e4 for 37 years with massive success.
Vladimir wrestled the crown from Garry Kasparov in 2000 by neutralizing the latter's 1.e4 preparation with the Berlin Defense. In the 14th game of his title defense against Peter Leko in 2004, he pushed his e-pawn two squares himself and whipped up a decisive mating attack in the endgame.
Even after his retirement, he used the opening to great effect and beat modern 2700-elo grandmasters in exhibition matches.
In this free course, Vladimir gives you a sneak peek into his thought process and shows you...
How To Play 1.e4 And The Advance French
From BOTH Sides
That's right! Unlike most opening courses, where the author focuses on one side only, Vladimir gives you 360-degree survey of 1.e4 and the Advance French.
By breaking down the opening from Black and White's perspective, you gain a better understanding of the most effective plans... ideal piece and pawn placement... as well as the PROs and CONs of every variation for both sides.
This way, you can count on your newly acquired understanding to guide you to the advantage — even if the game enters unexplored territory.
Best part?
You can apply tactical and strategic tools you'll pick up here to any opening you play.
Here's what you'll learn:
💎 How to improve or exchange bad pieces — giving the rest of your army enough space to maneuver and play as a unit.
💎 Time-tested methods to secure your advanced central pawns. This way, you maintain your space advantage and the rich attacking chances it affords.
💎 How to punish a premature pawn breaks — so your knights and bishops slide effortlessly into their ideal squares... while the enemy king is unable to evacuate the center.
💎 When to grab pawns... securing you an endgame advantage, while the opponent must scramble to get enough compensation for the material deficit.
PLUS many more! All covered in only
47 minutes of video and
