The Grünfeld Defense offers Black unparalleled counterplay and winning chances against 1.d4. Yet even experienced players hesitate to adopt it, intimidated by the theoretical jungle that surrounds this razor-sharp opening.
"The Grünfeld always fascinated me, but I was often scared by all the theory," admits GM Baadur Jobava. "Now things are easier with engines, so I asked two dynamic players, IM Dragos Ceres and GM Luca Moroni, to help me build something fresh, fun, and easy to use."

We are excited to present the brand-new follow-up course by GM Renato Quintiliano, complementing his acclaimed repertoire “Nimzo-Indian Defence for White – Rubinstein Variation”.

We are proud to present a brand-new repertoire by two outstanding grandmasters – GM José Martinez Alcantara (aka Jospem) and GM Pier Luigi Basso. For the first time, Jospem reveals the secrets behind one of his main opening weapons – the Bogo-Indian Defense. This system has helped him score countless wins in top-level blitz and rapid play, defeating elite players like Andreikin, Duda, Fedoseev, Vidit, and many others.

In the pursuit of opening advantage, most players chase computer evaluations and memorize endless theoretical lines. GM Swapnil Dhopade takes a different approach—one rooted in practical understanding and over-the-board pressure.
This course introduces a sophisticated hybrid system against the Queen's Gambit Declined that bypasses Black's most prepared defenses while maintaining genuine winning chances. Rather than entering well-trodden theoretical paths, Dhopade presents a refined move order: 4.Nc3 followed by 5.g3—a subtle Catalan transposition that avoids Black's sharpest resources.

We are excited to introduce the first course from the new series "1.d4 According to Lucas Van Foreest", created by GM Lucas van Foreest and GM Pier Luigi Basso.
This series is built around a single powerful idea – to select the most annoying and practically difficult lines for Black. If you're a 1.d4 player who wants to squeeze your opponents out of comfort, this is the repertoire you've been waiting for.

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.

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.
