1.e4 e5 for Black - Repertoire against the Ruy Lopez
Join GM Ioannis Papaioannou as he continues to construct a comprehensive 1.e4 e5 repertoire for Black. Following his outstanding Italian Game camp, we've received numerous inquiries regarding the schedule for the highly anticipated Ruy Lopez camp. We're excited to announce that it will commence on 12th May 2023!
Imagine confidently facing the Ruy Lopez without the burden of memorizing lengthy, forced lines. GM Papaioannou is here to share his favourite systems for Black, expertly tailored to suit the needs of practical players.
The repertoire will focus on two primary systems – the Steinitz Deferred and the Chigorin Variation. Papaioannou has discovered a way to play these lines with minimal reliance on rote memorization of specific lines. Rest assured, all possible deviations White might choose will be thoroughly covered as well.
You get 9 hours of high-level training which will provide you with the following benefits:
✅ Better understanding of the fundamental structures arising after 1.e4 e5
✅ Knowledge of the typical positional and tactical ideas in the Ruy Lopez.
✅ Main repertoire against the Ruy Lopez and a backup option
✅ Insights into how grandmasters build their repertoire
✅ Better general understanding
