Many players who want to start playing 1.e4 are afraid of the overwhelming amount of theory. As strange as it might sound, you can play 1.e4 without the need to memorize tons of variations. What you need is a smart choice of lines!
In this camp, GM Papaioannou will need 7 lectures to change your perspective regarding 1.e4. 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.
