We are happy to announce the release of a project in which GM Mihail Marin put a lot of effort - Play the Scheveningen via Paulsen. In the introduction, to the course, Marin writes, "I will never stop loving the Dragon, but I also feel like playing a traditional Sicilian. In the past, I have tried all of them, but from the perspective of an experienced player, my preference goes for the Scheveningen, which is the most flexible of the Sicilians. However, I am a bit scared of the Keres Attack. There is a tricky move order, though."
Exactly this tricky move order is the reason why this project came to life. This major work consists of 61 theoretical chapters, 60 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (6h and 20min).

FM Egor Lashkin (FIDE Rating 2459) has just published his newest in-depth theoretical research - Principled Repertoire against Vienna and Ragozin. Providing an opening repertoire for White against two of the most respectable responses to 1.e4, requires hard work, subtle understanding, and a lot of dedication. After analyzing the arising positions for months, FM Lashkin managed to create practical problems for Black in all directions. Sometimes, his in-depth analysis goes to the endgame! And what is even more astonishing, the author also explains how we could put pressure in the arising endgame positions.

The current database consists of 8 very huge theoretical chapters, 10 model games, a Memory Booster, and 15 interactive test positions.

We are happy to present the newest course by IM Boroljub Zlatanovic - Weak Squares. The ability to create and exploit weak squares and square complexes is one of the most important skills for every positional player.

Each section contains 20 carefully curated model examples and 5 practical exercises to solidify your understanding and enhance your strategic intuition. It goes without saying that all the exercises come with annotated solutions.

GM Michael Roiz continues his investigations of the move 1.Nf3. In the database 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 - Expert Anti-Gruenfeld Repertoire, Roiz provided a powerful repertoire against Black's most direct attempt to play the Gruenfeld. In the current database, he examines the Gruenfeld type of positions arising after 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 c5. Besides, after studying the material, you will have a full repertoire for White based on the Maroczy Bind.

We are happy to announce that the former World Champion GM Alexander Khalifman has published his first course for Modern Chess - Play the Taimanov Sicilian.
The starting position of this course is reached after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6
Khalifman invested a lot of time and energy into this project. After many months of investigations, he got fully convinced that Taimanov Variation is working fine from a conceptual point of view. During your work on the material, you will find many fresh ideas and new directions in well-known critical positions. According to Khalifman, Taimanov is very suitable for players who want to play for a win. In his opinion, compared to the other Sicilian mainlines, Taimanov is less theoretical.
The database consists of 15 theoretical chapters, 15 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (9 hours of Video Running Time).
