In his second camp for Modern Chess, GM Nigel Davies will examine the Trompowsky (1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5), an exciting and aggressive weapon used heavily by English players in the 1990s. It has been less fashionable of late but still packs a punch, and Davies has both played this opening and written a book about it. From a practical point of view, it often discourages players from meeting 1.d4 with 1...Nf6, and you will frequently see 1...d5 or 1...e6 instead.

The following key variations will be covered:

  1. 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 d5 3.e3
  2. 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 Ne4 3.Bf4
  3. 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 e6 3.e3
  4. 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 c5 and other second move options for Black

The camp consists of 4 lectures. In all of them, GM Davies will present a complete repertoire for White, offering interesting and less explored options where appropriate.

You will receive 6 hours of high-level training, providing the following benefits:

✅ A complete repertoire for White after 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5

✅ Knowledge of the plans and tactical ideas in all the examined lines

✅ A practical yet dangerous repertoire for White

✅ Insights into how grandmasters build their repertoire

✅ Improved general understanding of chess
