1.d4 for Black Against the Sidelines – Jospem’s Repertoire by GM Jose Martinez Alcantara and GM Pier Luigi Basso completes the trio of courses covering Black's full response to 1.d4. This course offers a powerful and practical repertoire against systems where White avoids an early c4—such as the Trompowsky Attack, London System, Jobava London, Veresov Attack, Colle System, and others. With 10 theoretical chapters, 30 test positions, a Memory Booster, and multilingual PGN files, the course is designed for players seeking clarity and confidence against these tricky lines. Together with the Nimzo-Indian and Bogo-Indian courses, it forms a complete bulletproof repertoire for Black against 1.d4.

Nowadays, nobody considers the London System to be an offbeat opening. It can be seen on all levels - from amateur players to the World Champion Magnus Carlsen. What makes this opening so attractive?
There are two major advantages that make London so popular:
1) White's concept is based on a solid positional foundation
2) You do not need tons of computer analysis to play it since understanding is what matters
In this database, the Indian Grandmaster Abhijeet Gupta build a practical London repertoire for White. Besides the theoretical chapters, this database has Video Version, Memory Booster and Computer Practice.

The Trompovsky Attack and especially the London System have become quite popular openings in recent years. This should not come as a surprise. In our computer age, when most of the forced lines lead to a drawn outcome, top chess players began to look for ways to play for a win in less studied and forced openings. Veresov Attack is also an interesting try to reach fresh and unexplored positions. It can be quite dangerous if you are not prepared. GM Pavel Eljanov proposes a universal way to deal with these openings. In his concept, the main idea is to fight for the center as well as to limit the activity of White's bishops through exchanges or the threat of exchanges (and we know that the threat is often stronger than its execution).
The repertoire is based on solid positional grounds and the author is trying to offer similar setups against all three openings.
