GM Grigor Grigorov is ready to share his knowledge in another one of his favourite openings - the Caro-Kann Defence. If you are looking for a strategically sound response to 1.e4 which gives you good winning chances, this camp is for you. The Caro-Kann project will consist of 2 interrelated camps. The first camp will be dedicated to the main lines starting with 3.e5 and 3.Nc3. All the remaining lines will be covered in the second camp. When possible, GM Grigorov will focus on systems that can be played mostly on understanding.
After covering White's positional attempts to fight the Najdorf, Papaioannou dives into the deep. The second Najdorf camp will examine White's aggressive systems against the Najdorf. The systems that will be discussed in this camp are the reason why many people are afraid of playing the Najdorf.
We are happy to inform you that GM Papaioannou decided to share his favourite weapon against 1.e4 - The Najdorf Variation! The Najdorf Sicilian will be covered in two camps. The first one of them will deal with all the positional systems that White has at his disposal. The second one will be dedicated to all the aggressive approaches that White might try. In his Najdorf camps, GM Papaioannou will prove that memorization of long theoretical lines is not the key to the Najdorf Variation. You can play many of the systems mostly relying on your understanding. In almost all the lines, Papaioannou will provide you with practical solutions.
