We are thrilled to present Chigorin Defense According to Jobava – the latest addition to our Legendary Openings series. In this fascinating course, GM Baadur Jobava breathes new life into the once-dismissed Chigorin Defense, offering a full, aggressive repertoire for Black after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Nc6.

For years, the Chigorin was viewed as an offbeat, borderline-dubious choice—an opening where Black voluntarily breaks traditional positional rules. But the times have changed. With the help of modern engines and creative minds like GM Jobava’s, old evaluations are being overturned.

Complete your Open Sicilian mastery with the final installment of this comprehensive trilogy. After conquering the Sveshnikov, Kalashnikov, and Sicilian Four Knights and mastering the Taimanov, Kan, and Pin Variations, you now face the ultimate challenge: neutralizing Black's most sophisticated Sicilian weapons—the Rauzer and Scheveningen variations.

While most opening repertoires demand extensive memorization and carry inherent risks, GM Alexey Dreev presents a fundamentally different approach to the Queen's Gambit Accepted. This isn't about playing for equality—it's about reaching excellent positions through superior understanding rather than superior memory.

Forget playing for equality with the Black pieces. This isn't another defensive repertoire—it's a weapon designed for ambitious players who need to win with Black, round after round.
GMs Lucas van Foreest and Pier Luigi Basso have crafted something truly exceptional: a repertoire that steps away from the theoretical highways and gives you fresh, aggressive systems where understanding trumps memorization every time.

We are excited to present the newest addition to the acclaimed Dreev University series –
Feel the Momentum, a deep and practical course that will change the way you approach positional chess.

This is not just a collection of examples. It’s a complete training journey built around one of the most misunderstood—but vital—concepts in chess: momentum.

Ready to complete your Open Sicilian arsenal? Following the tremendous success of our first installment Open Sicilian for White - Fight Sveshnikov, Kalashnikov, and Sicilian Four Knights, we're thrilled to present Part 2 of this essential series—and it might be even more crucial than the first!

This is the first release in our new Open Sicilian for White series—an elite collaboration between GM Alexey Dreev, GM Baadur Jobava, and GM Pier Luigi Basso. In this groundbreaking course, we take on three of the most difficult systems White players face: the Sveshnikov, Kalashnikov, and Four Knights.

What if we told you there's an opening system that has been battle-tested at the World Championship level for over a century, yet remains virtually unexplored by modern players? Enter the Schlechter Defense – a strategic masterpiece that combines rock-solid foundations with hidden tactical depths.
Named after Carl Schlechter, who used it in his legendary 1910 World Championship match against Emanuel Lasker, this opening has quietly stood the test of time as one of chess's most resilient and underestimated systems against 1.d4.

Are you tired of passive positions with Black against 1.e4? Ready to turn the tables and play for a win in every Spanish Opening game? The Deferred Steinitz Defense (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 d6) offers exactly what ambitious players seek: a theoretically sound yet practically challenging system that puts immediate pressure on White.
