While Part 1 was mainly focused on Slav and QGD setups, the current course deals with the extremely critical 2...c5, as well as with the topical 2...Nd7, and 2...Nc6. The move 2...g6 is not covered in the current database since White should play 3.d4 and transpose to the main lines. Nevertheless, the position arising after 1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 g6 3.d4 Bg7 4.Nf3 Nf6 5.c4 c6 was covered in another database of Michael Roiz - Expert Repertoire against the Slav Defence. For the sake of completeness, all the chapters featuring this system are added to the current database as well.

True to his analytical approach, GM Roiz manages to find rare and almost unexplored ideas against some well-established main lines. What is even more important is that all the suggested lines can be played without any risk.

We are happy to inform you that GM Alvar Alonso has published his first course for Modern Chess - My Dutch. Having tremendous experience with this opening, GM Alonso provides you extremely practical and easy-to-learn repertoire. According to him, Dutch Defence has huge practical value since most of the players (even strong GMs) do not dedicate enough time to this tricky opening. Additionally, when you opponent sees the move 1...f5, he wants to punish you. All these considerations make the Dutch Defence a perfect choice in terms of playing for a win.
The database consists of 11 theoretical chapters (the last one is a bonus), 15 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (1h and 40min Running Time).

The database consists of 24 theoretical chapters, 24 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (7.5h Running Time).
