My Repertoire against 1.Nf3 and 1.c4

Live Event Completed

Dealing with Reti and English is always tricky. The moves 1.Nf3 and 1.c4 became extremely popular due to the flexibility they provide White with. GM Papaioannou is ready to share with you his repertoire for Black. When possible, the suggested repertoire will fit into the spirit of Nimzo-Indian Defence and Bogo-Indian Defence. The camp consists of 7 lectures. When possible, GM Ioannis Papaioannou will suggest setups based on Nimzo-Indian/Bogo-Indian structures. As usual, understanding the typical ideas will be much more important than concrete theory. The suggested repertoire will be a perfect match for practical players who want to save time on opening preparation.
