Welcome to my Complete Opening Repertoire for Black course, the only course you need to learn to how to play as Black in the opening.
I’m Manuel, a top chess player from Luxembourg who has also spent several over 15 years in the online teaching world. I want to share my passion for the game of chess and teach everything that I learn, including one of main opening repertoires.
My course is designed to be interactive, as I’ll take you step-by-step through engaging video tutorials.
Statistically speaking, in the starting position White plays the move 1.e4 (King’s Pawn Opening) or 1.d4 (Queen’s Pawn Opening) in over 80% of the games.
That’s why we’ll create a very detailed and aggressive opening repertoire to meet these 2 openings, where we will not only aim to get a good position, but to fight for an advantage as well.
After our main repertoire is prepared, we’ll study all the other 18 possible moves that White has to start the game. The key will be to cover these options in a smart way, aiming to transpose into lines that we have already studied if White plays good moves. But we’ll also aim for an early opening advantage if White decides to play dubious moves.
This course includes practical activities in every section to make sure that you'll test your new knowledge. I’ll provide you with all the games and variations that I’ll analyze so that you can download them and keep them, both in PDF and PGN format.
Throughout this comprehensive course, we’ll study a lot of openings and variations, including:
The Sicilian Defense, Dragon Variation
The Sicilian Defense, Prins Variation
The Sicilian Defense, Hungarian Variation
The Sicilian Defense, Moscow Variation
The Sicilian Defense, Closed Variation
The Sicilian Defense, Alapin Variation
The King's Indian Defense
The Trompowsky Attack
The Torre Attack
The London System
The Colle System
The Zukertort Opening
The English Opening
The Benko Opening
The Larsen Attack
The Bird’s Opening
The Van Geet Opening
The Polish Opening
The Van’t Krujis Opening
Mieses Opening
This course is ideal for intermediate players, who want to bring their opening knowledge to a new level.
By the end of this course, you will improve both your overall openings skills, in addition to having a complete opening system to play as Black.
A Present to Make Your Life Easier
Studying openings and creating a full repertoire can be overwhelming. My main goal with my courses is to simplify your study. As a lifelong learner of this game, I know how having the right tools can save you not only months, but years of study.
All the lines and games that I cover in the course will be provided to you under each lesson. For your convenience, I’ll provide them in 2 different formats: PDF and PGN. PGN (Portable Game Notation) is a standard format for recording chess games supported by most chess software.
This way, you have more than one option to choose your preferred way to save and keep your lifetime repertoire.
