1.d4 According to Dreev (13)
1.d4 According to Dreev - Fight the Queen's Gambit Accepted - Updated June 2026 Updated
Following the success of the 1.d4 According to Dreev series, GM Alexey Dreev and GM Pier Luigi Basso return with a powerful new chapter—Fight the Queen’s Gambit Accepted. This course provides a complete and ambitious repertoire for White after:
1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.e4
This aggressive continuation challenges Black from the very first moves, setting the tone for dynamic and initiative-driven play. Unlike more reserved systems, 3.e4 seizes central space and creates immediate tactical and strategic dilemmas for the opponent.

Positional Slav for White – Part 1
For thirty years, GM Alexey Dreev has returned to the same weapon against the Slav: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3.
Not because it promises an opening advantage through force, but because it grants White structural flexibility that endures across all of Black's setups. While mainstream theory debates sharp Nc3 systems or early Qb3 confrontations, Dreev's approach offers something rarer—a positional framework that allows White to outplay opponents through understanding rather than memorization.

Fianchetto System vs the Grunfeld - Complete White Repertoire Premium
The Grünfeld Defence has long been the refuge of players who want counterplay with absolute theoretical reliability. Unlike most defences, it does not merely survive early pressure — it thrives on it. For decades, the Fianchetto System (1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.g3 Bg7 4.Bg2 0-0 5.0-0 d5) has been White's most principled attempt to reduce that dynamism, steering the game into a quieter, more strategic frame. The irony, as any experienced 1.d4 player knows, is that "quieter" does not mean "easier." Against a well-prepared Grünfeld player, the Fianchetto can feel like a maze without an exit. The new Modern Chess course Fianchetto System vs the Grünfeld: Complete White Repertoire, by GM Alexey Dreev and GM Pier Luigi Basso, is built precisely to change that.

1.d4 According to Dreev - Fight the Slav Defense
As GM Dreev explains in his introduction, the 4.g3 approach is an ideal weapon against the Slav Defense. Unlike 4.Nc3, which requires extensive memorization, or 4.e3, which has become highly theoretical, 4.g3 allows White to enter flexible, well-structured positions that align seamlessly with our existing repertoire.
