When GM Aronian Levon faced Kramnik's 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.d4 exd4 5.Nxd4 in 2014, he responded with 5...Bc5—a move that signaled a shift in how elite players approach the Four Knights and Scotch complexes. Rather than accepting the sterile equality of 5...Bb4, Black chooses positions where genuine winning chances coexist with technical risks. This philosophy forms the backbone of GM Pier Luigi Basso and GM Vladimir Malakhov's new course, where classical openings meet modern demands for dynamic counterplay.
