A practical repertoire for the positional player after 1.d4 Vol.1 – 1….d5 by Sipke Ernst

Are you tired of facing long engine lines and well-known theoretical complications? Then I have something interesting for you. In this video course, I will show you a repertoire after 1.d4 that aims to be practical and well-suited for the positional player. I give promising mainlines for white against all black’s main replies to 1.d4 that are engine-proof, easy to learn and can be played almost instantly. Moreover, if black deviates, then white obtains a promising initiative and black will have to suffer an unpleasant defence.

Reading sample for free: Queen's Gambit Accepted

In this Volume we’ll examine 1.d4 d5. We go for 2.c4 and I will give you everything you need to know to face openings such as the Queen’s Gambit Declined, Queen’s Gambit Accepted, the Chigorin, the Slav; Semi and Triangle Slav, the Tarrasch and Semi-Tarrasch and various other minor lines that can occur after move 2. Moreover, you’ll get to practice the repertoire shown in the Opening trainer, which will help you memorise the moves you need to play. Let your journey into the world of 1.d4 start now!
