This new course by IM Kushager Krishnater presents an original and highly practical repertoire for White based on the rare but powerful move 3.Bg5. After the standard 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6, White plays 3.Bg5!?—a move that immediately takes your opponent off the beaten path and into unfamiliar territory.
Instead of entering long, theoretical battles in the Queen’s Gambit Declined or Nimzo-Indian, this repertoire allows you to apply maximum psychological pressure right from the opening moves.

We are thrilled to present the first volume of a groundbreaking repertoire series—The Ultimate Bulletproof Repertoire for Black after 1.e4 e5. In this first installment, FM Or Cohen and GM Grigor Grigorov team up to offer a surprising, deeply analyzed, and conceptually sound weapon—the Damiano Defense: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 Nxe4!?
♟️ While the Damiano has traditionally been seen as dubious, this course demonstrates—with unprecedented depth—that it is a fully playable and highly practical opening in the age of NNUE engines and refined chess understanding. FM Or Cohen has spent nearly two decades perfecting this line, which he considers an alternate Berlin—a reliable system that frustrates 1.e4 players by forcing quiet, technical battles.

We are excited to present Calculation in Attack and Defense, a new digital course by GM Davorin Kuljasevic, based on his February 2025 Tactical Thursday lectures. This course takes a deep dive into some of the most intense and instructive areas of calculation—how to attack, how to defend, and most importantly, how to calculate accurately under pressure.

Looking for a sharp and original Black weapon against 1.d4 and 1.c4? The English Defense is your answer. In this brand-new course, GM Pier Luigi Basso delivers a complete, dynamic repertoire that will take your opponents into less-charted—and fully sound—territory.
Whether White begins with 1.d4 or 1.c4, you’ll be equipped with a system that offers flexibility, rich counterplay, and surprise value.

Following the success of Dreev University – Rook Endgames, GM Alexey Dreev and GM Pier Luigi Basso return with the second installment of their elite training program: Dreev University – Positional Play.
If the first course helped you master technical positions, this one will teach you how to think like a strategist.
♟️ Positional chess isn’t about what to do – it’s about how to think. You know the classic rules: control the center, improve your pieces, avoid weaknesses. But real positional play goes beyond rules. It’s about:
Navigating complex positions with deep strategic awareness
Knowing when to act and when to wait
Creating winning chances from equal positions
Outplaying your opponent without relying on tactics

Following the success of 1.Nf3 d5 - Top-Level Repertoire for Black - Part 1, GM Pier Luigi Basso returns with a completely updated and expanded 2025 edition. This course builds on the foundation of the original repertoire, incorporating new theoretical discoveries, model games, and an entirely new video series to ensure that your preparation is state-of-the-art.

The Queen’s Gambit Declined remains one of the most solid and respected opening systems in chess. However, IM Dejan Marjanovic presents an ambitious and aggressive repertoire for White that challenges Black’s most popular and offbeat responses after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3.
This course offers a complete system for White against a variety of setups, including:
✅ Triangle System (3...c6)
✅ Tarrasch Defense (3...c5)
✅ Bogo-Indian Style Moves (3...Bb4)
✅ Sidelines like (3...h6, 3...a6, 3...dxc4, and 3...f5)

After the highly successful Play the Najdorf - Top-Level Repertoire for Black and Beat the Anti-Sicilians - Practical Repertoire for the Najdorf Players, GM Baadur Jobava and IM Dragos Ceres return with an innovative twist—the Reversed Najdorf!
This course introduces a powerful and underexplored system where White plays the Najdorf Sicilian with an extra tempo. After 1.c4 e5 2.a3, White immediately takes Black out of theory and into unfamiliar territory. Despite being a rare choice, this system is based on deep strategic and positional understanding, making it a fantastic practical weapon.

After the success of Caro-Kann According to Dreev - Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3, GM Alexey Dreev and GM Pier Luigi Basso return with the fourth installment of this top-level repertoire. This time, they take on one of the most critical variations for Caro-Kann players—the Advance Variation with 3.e5.
While in Part 1, the authors recommended the classical 3...Bf5, this course introduces a faster and more dynamic alternative—the immediate counterstrike 3...c5!?

Following the success of Beating the Taimanov and Sicilian Four Knights with a2-a3, GM Michael Roiz completes his comprehensive White repertoire against 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 with a deep dive into the Kan Variation. This second installment provides a strategic yet easy-to-learn system designed to limit Black’s counterplay while keeping White’s plans flexible and practical.
