This product includes all the videos from the workshop as well as the PGN file related to the training sessions. Overall, the material consists of 10.5 hours of video and a PGN database, which includes 184 files!

Welcome to the third of the '1.d4' series for White. Parts 1 & 2 cover the 'QGD variations' against 1.d4. This course will cover all the relevant sidelines except for the King's Indian & Grunfeld. The following critical variations are covered in this course: Modern Benoni, Queen's Gambit Accepted, Queen's Indian, Bogo Indian and Dutch Defence. Apart from that, I also cover the sidelines, such as the Blumenfeld Gambit, The Budapest Gambit, and The Chigorin Defence. The approach has been to play the most principled variations against the critical variations and practical approach, i.e., less memorization, against sidelines.

We are happy to present the second and final database by GM Michael Roiz about the Petrosian Variation in the King's Indian Defence. Let's take a look at the starting position of the Petrosian System.
Black's most popular move 7...a5 was examined in Part 1 of the Petrosian project. In this course, GM Roiz examines all the remaining options. The course consists of 8 theoretical chapters, 10 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (1h and 25min).

We are happy to introduce the first installment of two-part series by GM Michael Roiz - Play the Petrosian Variation - Expert Repertoire against King's Indian Defence - Part 1

GM Arjun Kaljan keeps expanding his repertoire against 1.d4. This time he presents a complete repertoire against the Catalan Opening.
The current repertoire is based on 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.g3 Bb4+
This course, dedicated to the Catalan, completes Black's repertoire against the main lines arising after 1.d4.
The course consists of 10 theretical chapters, 20 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (2h and 17min Running Time).

We are happy to present the first Modern Chess course by GM Pier Luigi Basso - Top-Level Repertoire against the Nimzo-Indian Defence - Part 1.
The repertoire suggested by GM Basso revolves around 4.Qc2.
This is probably White's most ambitious variation against the Nimzo-Indian Defence. Besides avoiding positions with doubled pawns, White takes control of the important e4-square. Actually, with his last move, White creates the positional threat of e2-e4.
In the first part, GM Basso will deal with the moves 4...0-0, 4...b6, 4...Nc6, and 4...h6. The moves 4...c5, 4...d6, and 4...d5 will be examined in the second installment of this repertoire against the Nimzo-Indian Defence.

We are happy to announce another fascinating project by GM Ivan Cheparinov - Queen's Gambit Accepted - Top-Level Repertoire for Black.
In this course, Cheparinov builds complete repertoire for Black based on 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4
This is the starting position of the Queen's Gambit Accepted. This opening is considered to be one of Black's most solid choices against 1.d4. It's extremely difficult for White to create even practical problems.
Cheparinov provides a very detailed, top-level analysis rich in new ideas. After studying the material, you can play Queen's Gambit Accepted against every opponent.
The course consists of 20 theoretical chapters, 20 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (5h and 33min).

In this course, IM Krishnater examines the following highly topical lines: Vienna Variation, Tarrasch Defence, Semi-Tarrasch Defence, and Queen's Gambit Declined with 4...Nbd7, and 4...h6.
True to his analytical approach, IM Krishnater usually goes for relatively unexplored but very challenging ideas. Besides the valuable novelties, he presents some extremely creative and fresh strategic concepts.
The current database consists of 16 theoretical chapters, 15 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (3h and 10min).
