The Shortcut to Get Done with Your Opening Preparation for White

You’ve probably noticed that I love to recommend opening systems, rather than highly full theoretical repertoires…

This is because I know you’re busy and I know that playing easy-to-learn systems will make your chess journey easier than mine was.

Today I have a strong weapon for you.

It’s an opening system starting with 1.b3!? which Ukrainian FM Yuriy Krykun calls his “secret weapon” and has resulted in the 21-year-old skyrocketing his rating to 2370 Elo.

It’s kind of like nobody knows what to do against this system…

Here’s a question for you:

What if you could literally dictate the course of the game from move one?

No Sicilians, No Grunfelds, None of that hairy stuff.

Just IDEAS and proven plans that you know and you choose.

That’s what FM Krykun shares in our brand new 1.b3 Secret Weapon course.

Dive into 7+ hours of powerful lessons and you’ll discover how to put serious pressure on black with weird, unexpected, and dynamic moves he has NEVER seen before.

Who is this course for?

  • Club players who hate memorizing theory: Enter totally new waters in the first few moves and with a few simple ideas, have your opponent sweating and muttering “…bbbut this opening is unsouuund! ? ” – as he stops the clock and resigns!
  • Creative players who like to dictate the types of the position you BOTH enter: Tired of “milking the cow” in the same old openings over and over again? Prefer to come up with cool ideas yourself? This is the PERFECT system for you!
  • Chess Rebels who like to buck the rules: Some of the ideas FM Krykun teaches you are downright NASTY…and they LOOK crazy! Fortunately for you they are 100% sound and will lure opponents into trying to “punish” you…only to fall into devastating positional trouble!

If you’re tired of wasting time escaping death in the openings…and you’d prefer to focus your study time on IMPORTANT stuff like tactical training, endgames and positional play…

Take this shortcut now and your white openings are DONE.
