Club Player's Repertoire for Black with 1...e5 by GM Krisztian Szabo
Elite players from Capablanca and Alekhine to Karpov and Carlsen have all had something in common…
Regardless of playing style… Regardless of the playing era…
They relied on a certain “classical” opening in most of their important, “title-on-the-line” games…
Kramnik used this opening to tear away Kasparov’s 15-year title crown back in 2000.
Whether these elite players wanted to attack like a madman, play a solid positional game, or anything in between.
They knew that simply answering 1.e4 with 1…e5 could lead them to the middlegame positions where they’d get exactly what they wanted.
No Sicilian madness, no cramped Caro Kanns or French Defenses…just classical, high-quality chess.
The problem is this:
White has a lot of options, it can be very overwhelming to start from scratch in a new opening.
You have to learn new ideas, some key lines, and very importantly, avoid traps that arise in each line…
…so where does the average club player get started? What’s the best way?
Here’s a shortcut for you if you really want to switch to 1…e5 repertoire today:
Grandmaster Krisztian Szabo (top trainer and second of SuperGM Richard Rapport) has just offered his complete training which includes his full repertoire on 1…e5!
In Club Player’s Repertoire for Black with 1…e5, GM Szabo gives you 10 hours of training arming you with powerful grandmaster responses to every 1.e4 opening that white could try.
King’s Gambit, Ruy Lopez, Scotch, and even the “Fried Liver” nonsense…all covered by a deep strategy that’ll leave you at least equal (sometimes much better).
What you will learn:
- How to Shut Down the Ruy Lopez! GM Szabo gives you a rare and very poisonous sideline where in one particular case, white’s ENTIRE queenside development is frozen with …Bd3!! (diagram). A GREAT weapon vs the Ruy Lopez!
- Never Fear the Kings Gambit! GM Szabo offers a new twist against this dangerous gambit where you’re taking the pawn, smiling, and saying “prove it to me!”.
- Fried Liver Attack DEFANGED! We’ve all lost to this infuriating Nxf7 sacrifice…GM Szabo suggests the super-rare 5…Nd4!? A tricky move that throws white off balance and may well score you a ton of quick wins!
