Universal Solution against Philidor, Modern, and Pirc
Whether you are a 1.e4 or 1.d4 player, fighting all the tricky setups starting with 1...d6 or 1...g6 is always difficult. By using tricky move orders, your opponent can easily take you out of your comfort zone. Not anymore!
GM Papaioannou is ready to share his universal solution that works for both 1.e4 and 1.d4 players. Let's take a look at the diagram below.
Against most of Black's setups, White will follow with Nf3, Bd3 and c2-c3. The same strategy can be used also against 1...g6.
According to GM Papaioannou, this setup allows us to avoid all the major theoretical lines in Philidor, Pirc, and Modern. You can fight for a small advantage only by relying on your understanding!
You get 6 hours of high-level training which will provide you with the following benefits:
✅ Better understanding of Philidor Structures
✅ Better understanding of the tactical and positional ideas in Modern Defence
✅ In-depth insights on the Pirc Defence
✅ Better feeling of the connection between the opening and the middlegame
✅ Better general chess understanding
✅ High-class repertoire against Philidor, Modern, and Pirc which is not based on memorizing long lines.
