Beat the London, Trompowsky and 1.d4 Nf6 Sidelines - A Repertoire for Black

This course presents a complete Black repertoire against 1.d4 sidelines that avoid an early c4, targeting the systems built around White's dark-squared bishop. Against the London, the approach runs through 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 e6 3.Bf4 b6 and 6...Nh5, while the Torre is met with 7...a6 and the Trompowsky with 2...c5 3.d5 Ne4 4.Bf4 e6 5.f3 Bd6. The repertoire is unified by 1...Nf6 and ...e6, integrating with Queen's Indian-based systems against 1.d4 2.c4.

Najdorf the Scheveningen Way - Part 2

GM Ioannis Papaioannou's second Scheveningen camp completes the repertoire against White's most aggressive answers to the Najdorf: 6.Bg5, the Fischer–Sozin Attack with 6.Bc4, and the English Attack with Be3 and f3. Across seven lectures, he explains when to strike with ...b5, ...d5 or ...e5, and how to defend precisely when White attacks on the opposite wing.
