From the course:
A full fighting 1.e4 e5 repertoire for Black which leverages an ancient hidden secret - with a new twist
This is not your typical 1.e4 e5 course.
Yes, it is a full repertoire for Black, covering everything you need to know in the double king's pawn opening. What sets this one apart is its outside-the-box approach to fighting for the advantage.
At the center of this ambitious undertaking by GM Jan Werle is the Chigorin Variation of the Ruy Lopez (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 d6 8.c3 0-0 9.h3 Na5), once Black's primary defense for over 50 years.
With groundbreaking analysis and innovative lines, GM Jan Werle has all but resurrected the opening.
This is one of the most strategically interesting positions in all of opening theory.
With 9…Na5 Black places their knight on the rim without looking so grim, as:
♞ You chase White's light-squared bishop from its most effective diagonal - the a2-g8 diagonal
♞ You free Black's c-pawn, enabling you to ambitiously expand on the queenside
♞ You may maneuver the knight back to a number of effective squares - c6, c5, or c4
Plus all other Spanish sidelines and deviations.
Werle's not just putting the Chigorin back in business though, he's got you covered on everything for Black.
You’ll also:
♞ Rule out all of White's most popular Italian replies - with a subtle, useful, and innovative flank pawn move
♞ Play with the power of pins in the Scotch - and bring White into sharp and tactical skirmishes you'll know how to play better
♞ Get full control of the center in the Spanish Four Knights - with full compensation after you castle by hand
♟ Learn lines against the King's Gambit, Center Game, Ponziani, Vienna Game, and Bishop's Opening - covering the secondary open game lines you should know
