1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 - Complete Repertoire for Black (2h Running Time)
We are happy to present the newest opening research by GM Pavel Eljanov. This time, he provides a complete repertoire for Black after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 Actually, the idea of the database is not to provide another Tarrasch repertoire. The cornerstone of the current survey is the position arising after 4.cxd5 cxd4!? For a long period of time, this gambit line was considered to be quite dubious. Recently, however, Grischuk found improvements for Black, thus bringing the entire concept back to life. The tests on the highest level proved that the variation is completely playable. Of course, in order to provide you with a complete solution, Eljanov examines White's main alternatives on move 4 - 4.e3 and 4.Nf3.

Play the Accelerated Dragon - Maroczy Bind
We are happy to present the database Play the Accelerated Dragon - Maroczy Bind. This course has been created by two grandmasters - GM Martin Lorenzini and GM Salvador Alonso. In the second part of their project, they will cover the remaining systems for White (other than Maroczy Bind), thus completing the Accelerated Dragon Repertoire. The current survey consists of 11 theoretical chapters, 2 model games, 17 interactive test positions, and Memory Booster. Now, we shall take a brief look at the content of the database. The Accelerated Dragon is one of the main options for Black in the Sicilian Defence. Faced with this opening, White has an early choice to make, regarding the placement of his c-pawn: He can leave it on c2 or opt for the space-grabbing c2-c4, which leads to the so-called Maroczy structure. The latter is the subject of this database.
