GM Damian Lemos recommends Modern Defense to all of his top students. The idea is dead simple. You fianchetto your bishop and use one of the Lemos Formula plans to dismantle the center or checkmate the king.
There are two types of chess players out there…
Most play by the rules.
They memorize the theory, fight for the center, and react to the opponent’s moves.
And there are the ‘rulebreakers’.
They skip the theory, give up the center, and dictate the flow of the game.
GM Damian Lemos is clearly the second type.
And he recommends Modern Defense to all of his top students.
The idea is dead simple. You fianchetto your bishop and use one of the Lemos Formula plans to dismantle the center or checkmate the king.
Here is what you’ll learn:
- Crushing the Queen’s Gambit – White goes for the e4-d4-c4 approach? Excellent. GM Lemos shows how to turn your opponent’s gambit into a double-edged sword, creating a thrilling battle of wits and tactics.
- King’s Indian 2.0 – Unleash the raw energy of the King’s Indian Defense. Dive into this subline, and discover how to counter White’s aggressive play with a resilient and dynamic approach, setting the stage for an exciting clash of tactics.
- Queenless Endgames Manual -When the queens are off the board, the subtleties of endgame play come to the forefront. You’ll unravel the secrets to navigating queenless positions with precision, setting you on the path to endgame mastery.
- Dismantling the Three Pawns Attack – GM Lemos gives you a step-by-step algorithm not only to neutralize White’s attack but also to turn the tables. This approach provides you with the tools to disrupt your opponent’s plans and seize the initiative.
- Disrupting the ‘Solid Play’ – White chooses to stay solid? Fatal mistake! You’ll learn to maintain your flexibility keeping the game dynamic and seizing tactical opportunities, no matter how defensively your opponent plays.
Before we continue, I must warn you.
This isn’t for everyone.
It is only for rulebreakers.
For those who refuse to react to White’s moves, aim to capture the initiative and win the game… even with Black pieces!
