Description

Welcome to my comprehensive course on playing 1. d4. This course is focused on playing setups with an early bishop development to f4 or g5, also known as the London and Trompowsky. Throughout my career I have played both of these systems with success (I’ve actually never lost a classical game in these systems!) and have relied on them to surprise my opponents. In the recent years I have been using these variations in thousands of rapid and blitz games online and have shared my knowledge with countless of private students. Now I am excited to provide you with this aggressive repertoire.

 

The course contains 3 hours of video instruction as well as 42 pages of accompanying PGNs. I have worked to provide you with multiple promising options so you could either choose your preferred line or build a broader repertoire to enrich your armory and avoid preparation. My goal was to provide you with a very practical repertoire: aggressive, surprising, and easy to learn!
