After his highly successful camp Practical 1.e4 Repertoire for White, GM Ioannis Papaioannou is going to provide a similar repertoire for 1.d4 players. This repertoire will be divided into two camps. In the first camp, Papaioannou will provide practical repertoire against the Indian Defences - Benoni Defences, Benko Gambit, Nimzo-Indian Defence, Gruenfeld Defence, King's Indian Defence, and Old Indian Defence. The second camp will be dedicated to 1.d4 d5.
The camp consists of 7 lectures. When possible, GM Ioannis Papaioannou will suggest setups based on d2-d4, c2-c4, and e2-e3 (with bishop inside or outside the pawn chain). He will provide you with variations that are mainly based on understanding. Even when there is no objective advantage, Papaioannou will provide valuable guidelines on how to handle the arising positions. The suggested repertoire will be a perfect match for practical players who want to save time on opening preparation.
You get 10.5 hours of high-level training, which will provide you with the following benefits:
✅ Better understanding of the fundamental structures arising after 1.d4
✅ Knowledge of the typical positional and tactical ideas in all the examined openings
✅ Solid and practical repertoire for White
✅ Insights into how grandmasters build their repertoire
✅ Better general understanding
