Modern French Defense: Complete Repertoire for Black with IM Kushager Krishnater
Are you the kind of player who doesn’t mind giving up the center on move 1…
Hanging back while your opponent gets a little too bold…
With perfect timing, taking it back, flipping the game on its head with a sharp advantage a few moves later?
If so, I have great news for you.
IM Kushager Krishnater has crafted a complete repertoire for Black, centered around the modern lines in French Defense with the highest winning percentage! He’s thrown in a bunch of not-so-well-known responses to the usual moves, giving you a serious edge.
IM Krishnater’s laying it all out there, nothing is held back.
He’s sharing all his latest novelties and fresh ideas, tailor-made for dynamic and ambitious players!
Here is what you’ll learn:
- Smashing the King’s Indian Attack – White’s all over this setup because it’s a breeze to get into and opens up some sweet attack moves on the king’s side. Sounds awesome, right? But then, bam, you drop a 3…e5 out of nowhere. Totally rare and super strong. Nobody sees it coming, and just like that, you’ve flipped the script on your opponents.
- Steamrolling the Mainline 2.d4 – So White’s taken over the center with e4-d4? Excellent! IM Krishnater’s advice? Swap those pawns, mix things up in the center, and you’ve got yourself some easy-to-follow plans that lead to some really smooth middlegames.
- 2.Nf3 Antidote – Here’s the game plan: take over the center, give those knights a nudge, and set up the pawn triangle. This makes it a real headache for White to find any good moves or go on the offensive. And the best part? We’ve got all our strategies and attack moves ready to roll.
- Tackling the Advanced Variation – IM Krishnater’s got a straight-up strategy for undermining White’s center with …c4! And Kushager even threw in powerful novelties as a cherry on top. Those should be enough to take down players up to 2400 Elo.
- Sidelines Game Plan – Your opponent dodges the mainline theory, huh? Awesome! IM Krishnater’s here to hand you a step-by-step guide for taking apart those quirky variations, piece by piece. [Heads up: This is where you’re gonna rack up at least 70% of your wins.]
Wondering if this course is for you?
- Are you on the hunt for a solid answer to 1.e4 with Black?
- Want to score wins without rolling the dice too much on risky moves?
- Are you into securing wins with positional games?
