GM Marian Petrov's Scandinavian Mastermind arms you with a response to 1.e4 that is backed by Carlsen, Kramnik, and Karpov...PLUS is so non-theoretical...you can master the finer points of the opening by this weekend!
Renowned coach GM Marian Petrov reveals…
Forget about the Sicilian and forget about the Caro Kann…
Forget nearly all “theoretical” openings for that matter.
I have a question for you…
Which opening did Kramnik turn to when he got TIRED of keeping up with mountains of theory?
What about Carlsen?
When Kramnik got married and became busy with a family life…
…and Carlsen wanted to cleverly sidestep the deadly computer novelties of Caruana…
They BOTH turned to the Scandinavian Defense.
1.e4 d5!
With this opening, you avoid theory, get equal chances and often dictate the game from move 1!
And that’s why more and more GMs are adding it to their opening toolbox.
Today I have a 10-hour course for you by a prominent theoretician, Grandmaster Marian Petrov and in it, he guides you through this opening as simply as possible, so you can literally just “pick it up and play it” from day 1.
3 Super-GM Weapons That’ll SHOCK Your Opponents!
- Carlsen’s Double Pawn-Sac BOMBSHELL for Crushing 2500s! If GMs can’t handle this line then YOUR opponents will be clueless. Bamboozle your opponents with Magnus’ 5…e6!! and watch them fall to pieces trying to slow your blitzkrieg attack in the center!
- Grischuk’s Opposite Castling Attack! Sometimes you NEED to win and this is when you shock ‘em with this idea. Follow GM Grischuk’s path and launch your pieces at the enemy king for total chaos (Not for the faint-hearted!)
- Karpov’s “Grab a Pawn and Hold” Strategy! Few players understood defense on the level of Anatoly Karpov. With this line you’ll discover his method to win a clean pawn with 7…Bxf3 and 8…Qxd4 and sail smoothly to endgame victory with a simple strategy.
If you’re ready for a deadly response to 1.e4 that NOBODY is prepared for…this is the opening for you.
Interested? Let me help you get started.
