Alekhine Defense: Attacking Guide with GM Daniil Yuffa

Learn the Alekhine Defense with GM Daniil Yuffa

Are you the type of player who’s ready to throw out all the opening theory and start fresh?

Without relying on book knowledge, constructing winning positions from scratch…

Breaking all the rules in the process, yet somehow emerging with a win?

And then doing it all over again.

That’s GM Daniil Yuffa for you. He’s the chess rebel.

Back in 2015, Yuffa started playing the Alekhine Defense.

Daniil has been crushing it, taking down 2600+ rated GMs and boasting a 64% win rate with the Black Pieces (and an insane 90% win rate against under 2300!).

He didn’t stop there.

He dug deep into every possible move and variation, ensuring he’s handing you a battle-tested, practical repertoire that’s ready to roll in real-life games.

Here is what you’ll learn:

• Dealing with White’s Sidelines – So White’s skipping the mainline? GM Yuffa’s got this powerful plan on the French Defense vibe. We develop fast, eyeing a vicious attack. Just like that, boom, we’re leading the charge.

• Exchange Variation Roadmap – White’s aiming to dominate with a space advantage. Our game plan? Stir up some pawn weaknesses and exploit those weak square complexes to sketch out a strategy that plays to our strengths. And here’s the cherry on top: we’ll hit them with a fierce same-side castle attack!

• Crushing the Modern Variation – It’s known as a tough line to beat, but don’t sweat it. GM Daniil Yuffa arms you with the full stack of tools and ideas needed to outsmart your opponent all the way up to 2500. Plus, you’ll get exclusive access to analysis on some groundbreaking moves that have never hit the board before. Give those a try!

• The Four Pawns Attack – When White goes for this, they’re not messing around. There was a time when it was seen as the ultimate shutdown of Alekhine’s Defense… But hey, no stress. GM Yuffa’s got your back with the most up-to-date theory to land you in an excellent middlegame position, while your opponent’s left in the dust.

Learn those, and you’ve got yourself a super opening, especially effective in rapid & blitz games.

Playing at under 2200 Elo?

You’ll be the one calling the shots.

Most players without a FIDE title in front of their name are clueless about how to handle this.
