FM Yuriy Krykun has just finished a fantastic 10.5-hour repertoire course on 1.d4 with a *heavy* emphasis on simplicity and avoiding memorization of theory (a big problem for club players).
FM Yuriy Krykun Reveals…
Weapons against the King’s Indian, Queen’s Gambit, Slav, Dutch, Benoni…you name it.
So you want to play 1.d4 as white but have no time to hit the books and learn a bunch of theory…
Sound about right?
I get it, we’re all busy, and studying openings from thick books can be tedious…
At the same time, starting with your queen’s pawn is an excellent way to start the game and was favored by stars like Karpov, Capablanca, Alekhine, and even Kasparov at one stage.
It is reliable and can be played well no matter your style…by tacticians and positional players alike.
But how do you get started?
Well, my friend FM Yuriy Krykun has just finished a fantastic repertoire course with a *heavy* emphasis on simplicity and avoiding memorization of theory (a big problem for club players)…
Instead, you’re given simple sidelines and sneaky move-orders that’ll take your opponent out of “book” as early as move 4 and force him to think for himself.
These are the lines FM Krykun plays himself, yet he has generously spilled all of his secrets in 10.5 hours of HD video training that’ll leave you feeling confident and ambitious as white in all your future games.
A Few Weapons to STUN Your Opponents with…
- The Hanging Pawns Attack for CRUSHING the Queen’s Gambit! Avoid black’s super-solid lines and with this easy to play like you’ll get a rock-hard pawn center supported by missile-like bishops firing at black’s kingside! (See Chapters 1&2!)
- Smyslov’s “Quiet, but Deadly” System EASILY Takes the Sting Out of the King’s Indian! King’s Indian players thrive in crazy positions with mutual pawn storms and deadly sacrifices…Smyslov’s system leaves them frustrated in a dry positional game where YOU call the shots! (See Chapters 17 & 18!)
- An Anti-Slav Line with ZERO Theory! Sidestep the complex Slav theory with this simple line and use the sneaky 5.Nh4! to put immediate pressure on the black position…the “natural” 5…Bg6?! walks into a hammerblow you’ll have to see to believe! (See Chapter 6!)
