Following the success of his previous camp, My Catalan – Complete Guide for White, GM Ioannis Papaioannou returns with an even more refined and comprehensive approach to the Catalan Opening. This new camp, Catalan Refined – Full Repertoire for White after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3, is designed to equip tournament players with a bulletproof, practical, and easy-to-learn repertoire.
Beyond the classic Catalan structures arising after 3...d5, this camp will cover all major alternative setups for Black, including:
✅ 3...Bb4+ – Bogo-Indian, where White will learn to neutralize Black’s attempts to disrupt the Catalan setup
✅ 3...c5 – Benoni Structures, offering strong positional and dynamic solutions against one of Black’s most ambitious counterattacks
With Papaioannou's structured guidance and deep practical insights, this camp will provide a full opening blueprint for White that is both strategically sound and practically effective for all levels.
