We are excited to present Fundamental Pawn Structures – Part 3 by IM Siegfried Baumegger, the newest addition to our strategic training series based on the Guided Practice programs of the Modern Chess Academy. This time, the spotlight is on one of the most dynamic and misunderstood structures in chess—Hanging Pawns.

We are proud to present the 10th and final installment of the acclaimed series 1.d4 According to Dreev – a monumental project by GM Alexey Dreev and GM Pier Luigi Basso. This concluding course—Fight the Minor Lines—is one of the most important in the series, covering a wide range of rare yet tricky systems that every serious 1.d4 player must be prepared for.
Even though the title mentions “sidelines,” you will discover some of the most principled and ambitious weapons that Black can choose against 1.d4—ranging from the Dutch Defense and the Tarrasch to the Chigorin, Budapest Gambit, Albin, and more.

We are pleased to present a new high-level strategic course – Deep Understanding of the Spanish Middlegame – Part 1 – created by GM Dejan Bojkov and Metodi Stoinev. This project marks the beginning of a full repertoire for Black against the Ruy Lopez, developed through a well-balanced blend of modern analysis and classical ideas.

We are proud to present the latest addition to the English Opening According to Jobava series, co-authored by GM Baadur Jobava and GM Pier Luigi Basso. In this course, the authors deliver a complete White repertoire after 1.c4 c5 2.g3, one of the most strategic and flexible ways to meet the Symmetrical English.

We are proud to launch the first course in what promises to be one of the most ambitious and practical King’s Indian Defense repertoires ever created—“King’s Indian Defense According to Supi & Oliveira.” This is not just another database. It is a grandmaster’s lifelong repertoire, sharpened through top-level play and refined with deep modern analysis.

We’re proud to present a dynamic and practical opening repertoire designed to surprise your opponents and create immediate pressure from the very first moves: The Scotch Gambit for White – Top-Level Repertoire by GM Lucas van Foreest and GM Pier Luigi Basso.
The Scotch Gambit has long been underestimated by official theory. But this course proves it’s not just a romantic opening from the past—it’s a razor-sharp, modern weapon when backed by serious preparation. GM Lucas van Foreest has spent years refining this system while preparing elite players rated 2700+. Now, working with GM Basso, the duo unveils a complete and highly practical repertoire based on fresh analysis and creative ideas.

We are excited to present Dynamic Decision Making, a new digital course by GM Davorin Kuljasevic, based on his March 2025 Tactical Thursday lectures. This course takes a deep dive into one of the most vital and practical skills in modern chess—how to create, assess, and execute dynamic decisions, especially under pressure.

We are proud to present a major release by one of Modern Chess’s most respected authors – GM Pier Luigi Basso. His brand-new course “Top-Level Repertoire Against the Nimzo-Indian Defence – Refined” is the most complete and up-to-date guide to 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Qc2 – the most principled line against the Nimzo-Indian.
This course is not just an update – it’s a complete transformation. With 28 deeply analyzed theoretical chapters, 8 extensively annotated model games, 50 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a full Video Version, this repertoire gives you everything you need to fight for an opening advantage against one of Black's most elite defenses.

The starting point of Eljanov’s repertoire is 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3, which he considers objectively the strongest move for White. By delaying g3 and instead opting for Nc3, White avoids allowing Black to easily challenge the center with the common idea ...c6 followed by ...d5. The result? A rich, flexible, and ambitious setup that gives White lasting pressure and avoids early simplifications.

The camp Catalan Refined - Full Repertoire for White after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3 is now available as a digital product! This comprehensive course includes all the videos from the camp as well as the PGN file related to the training sessions.
