1.d4 Complete Opening Repertoire for White with GM Tornike Sanikidze

 

The biggest question is should you open 1.e4 or 1.d4?

I was an avid 1.e4 player when I started playing. It leads to open positions and potential creative attacks. Yippie!

But wait… that’s when I came across 1.d4.

This opening immediately got my interest. Not only are the games automatically leading to sharp, dynamic positions for both sides BUT ALSO it gives me the flexibility to make things complex for my opponent a lot easier.

The following sharp position appears in the mainline of the Vienna Variation of the Ragozin Defense:

With 1.d4 and 1.c4, you can literally grab hold of a lot of central squares and still push that h-pawn forward to press on the flanks!

It takes some tact though. I mean, some serious tact.

Many times I would have a good feeling about my position only to end up in material exchange or in a simply losing endgame position.

What if a Grandmaster with a peak rating of 2616 and also a coach for 14 years, who was also the main coach of the gold-winning Georgian Women’s National team at the Olympiads in 2008, were to teach the ins and outs of the super-powerful 1.d4 opening?

Bringing to you GM Tornike Sanikidze’s brand-new 1.d4 Complete Opening Repertoire for White course… for those who want to expand their horizon from playing 1.e4 every time…

Here is what you will learn:
