We're excited to present the eagerly awaited sequel to Grandmaster Mykhaylo Oleksiyenko's highly acclaimed debut course, "Tactics Helping Strategy." There are two major features that make the current course different from the previous one. First and foremost, the examples in this course are based on the practices of world champions Boris Spassky and Tigran Petrosian. At the same time, the selected positions are much more complicated compared to the first installment of the series.
Very often, chess literature tends to separate strategy and tactics. In practice, however, these two cornerstones of the game are very much interrelated. In this course, GM Oleksiyenko beautifully demonstrates how precise calculation can contribute to achieving strategic goals. Hence, while working on the material, you will improve both your strategic understanding and calculation skills.

Queen's Gambit Declined is probably Black's most solid response to 1.d4. This opening is especially effective when White has already committed to Nf3. In this course, GM Arjun Kalyan builds a powerful repertoire for Black based on 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5
On the board, we have one of the basic positions of the Queen's Gambit Declined. The current database provides a repertoire for Black against everything except the Catalan Opening. In most of the lines, GM Kalyan opts for fresh and relatively less explored ideas. This approach makes the repertoire very practical and suitable in terms of playing for a win.

We are happy to announce the latest database of Michael Roiz - 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.g3 - Repertoire against the King's Indian Setups. The suggested repertoire fits very well with the previous databases by Roiz on the Reti Opening.
In all the systems covered in this course, White refrains from the advance d2-d4. Hence, the repertoire is a perfect match for everyone who plays Reti Opening as White. in most of the lines, White is trying to achieve strategic play where understanding is far more important than knowledge of concrete theory.
The course consists of 14 theoretical chapters, 14 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (2h and 10min Running Time).

Even though the suggested systems are extensively analyzed with very strong engines, the repertoire does not require a lot of memorization. This practical approach makes the entire course very suitable for a practical play.
