What is this opening?
The Austrian Defense (1. d4 d5 2. c4 c5).
Seems harmless and boring, right? Yet another symmetrical defense?
But that’s not the entire story…
There are many ways things can go wrong for White, here is just one of them:
After 11…Qh4 white is losing the game.
You see, things are not as clear as they seemed at first.

How is this course going to help me?
- Black pushes d4. White takes on c5 and Black pushes the d-pawn forward. White can certainly bring out the king’s knight to f3, but Black’s Nc6 immediately nullifies that. Let Armin show you how Black gets into a dynamic position with this move.
- White’s b4 disaster. After White takes on c5, Black goes for a more aggressive approach. He pushes e7-e6, threatening to take back the c5-pawn with the bishop. White acts smart plays a3, and looks to play b4 next… It’s a HUGE mistake! Why?
- Black’s pawn sacrifice. Black can take the d4-pawn after White’s Nc3. Let White pick up the d5-pawn for free. What do you get as Black in return? A whole lotta initiative, mate! Long-term? White gets a bishop pair, and you have an active position.
- Black’s 3…Nf6. Black can try to play solidly just like White. But this might not end as well as you expect. Armin shows you why you might end up exchanging a lot of pieces, giving White reign over the board in the next few moves.
- Too much symmetry? Bad for Black’s health. Let’s play this line: 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c5 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. cxd5 cxd4 5. Qxd4 Qxd5 6. Nc3… Now should Black play Nc6? Beware! Do not fall into the “symmetry” trap as Black. Let Armin show you how.
