We are happy to announce that the Indian GM Kalyan Arjun comes up with his first project for Modern Chess - Expert Repertoire against the French. This database provides a high-level repertoire based on the principled 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3. In this in-depth investigation, you will find many fascinating novelties. In all the lines, GM Arjun manages to create a lot of practical problems for Black.

The course consits of 12 theoretical chapters, 24 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (5h Running Time).

GM Pavel Eljanov continues his Caro-Kann journey. While Part 1 and Part 2 have been dedicated to the Advance Variation, the current database deals with all White's deviations from 2.d4. Also, the author examines the Panov Attack which can arise via different move orders. All the remaining sysmtes will be covered in the last Part 4.
The database consists of 10 theoretical chapters, 10 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (2h and 40min Running Time).

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).

Hard times for the devotees of the Sicilian?
Several books, pretending to dismantle it, have already been released; besides, nowadays White is using no less than 16 (!) moves against the Najdorf! Now the time has come for GM Ivan Cheparinov to take the word - he is going to give his views on the open Sicilian lines.
The whole material will be divided in two parts regarding the most popular Black’s replies to 2.Nf3. Here is the first of them, which is basically a review of 2…d6 with the starting position arising after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3
The database consists of 24 theoretical chapters, 24 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (7.5h Running Time).

GM Lemos is proud to present his first Lemos Formula opening... the Pirc Defense. Damian spent months polishing the theory, double-checking all the lines and variations, and making sure you get the highest quality training. Everything is simplified and compressed into a single 6.5-hour course.

GM Ivan Cheparinov’s last database on the Catalan has just been released, and he is back with another one that is closely correlated.
This time the subject is the move order 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3 instead of 3.Nf3 d5 4.g3 and, to some extent, his new work can be considered an appendix to the previous two Catalan databases.

We are happy to inform you that the second (and final) part of Cheparinov's Catalan project is already released! In this huge database, you will find out how to deal with Black's most challenging lines against the Catalan.
True to his analytical approach, GM Cheparinov provides in-depth top-level analysis. As always, you will find a number of important new ideas and directions. While it's not possible to memorize every single line, you should pay attention to the general concepts and ideas.
The database consists of 24 theoretical chapters, 24 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (11.5h Running Time)
