Queen’s Gambit Accepted with IM Milovan Ratkovic

Renowned coach IM Milovan Ratkovic reveals…

How to Beat 1.d4, Outplaying Your Opponents Game-After-Game… all without Having to Remember much Theory

Ever thought that d4 players have things too easy?

They pretty much know they’re going to be facing either the King’s Indian or Slav/QGD and THEY get to choose which variation gets played.

This gives your opponent a big advantage in the opening… and they get the first move!

Hardly seems fair, does it?

Thankfully there’s a way to turn the tables and get that opening advantage on your side.

Ruin your opponent’s prep as early as move 2 with the Queen’s Gambit Accepted. This logical but rarely played opening is full of aggressive counter-play for Black – and lets you dictate play.

Serbia’s IM Milovan Ratkovic has just finished the Queen’s Gambit Accepted Mastermind, a 10-hour complete repertoire for putting d4 players to the sword!

About the Author:

  • Castling secrets: Milovan reveals when to castle kingside, when to castle queenside and when to leave your king in the center so your pieces coordinate in a killer attack.

Queen’s Gambit Declined: Janowski Variation with GM Miloje Ratkovic

There are two methods when it comes to opening preparation.

The first way is memorizing as many opening lines as possible, to make sure you ‘out-prepare’ your opponent.

It is tedious and time-consuming (not suitable for most club players).

The second way is how GM Miloje Ratkovic steadily grew his Elo from 2000 to 2499 FIDE.

It’s not the number of lines you memorize that matters, but the quality of your preparation.

The Janowski Variation is the simplest way to meet the Queen’s Gambit for Black.

1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 a6

The idea is simple. Black captures on c4, keeps the pawn with b5, and develops the ‘bad bishop’ to b7.

This is the opening that allowed Miloje to conquer the road to the GM title, and he wants to help you out in your journey.

That’s why GM Ratkovic took time off his busy tournament schedule to create the ‘ultimate shortcut’ based on QGD: Janowski Variation.

In just 5 hours you’ll learn everything there is to know about the Janowski Variation to outclass 90% of your opponents.

About the Author:

GM Miloje Ratkovic

is a Serbian Grandmaster with a FIDE Rating of 2499. He obtained the GM title in 2021. He has conquered many National and International events. He is a professional player, chess coach, and streamer. GM Ratkovic is also a huge fan of online blitz with an Elo over 2785.

Here is what you’ll learn:

  • Exchange Variation Antidote – GM Miloje Ratkovic shows how to develop a “bad” light-squared bishop to f5 turning it into a perfectly good piece! The best part is that White cannot stop this plan! (Chapter 1)
  • QGD & QGA Formula – GM Ratkovic reveals his secret approach for transposing into most favorable lines in both ‘Declined’ and ‘Accepted’ Queen’s Gambit. It’s based on understanding and requires zero memorization! (Chapter 4-6)
  • Taking Down Catalan – GM Ratkovic discovered a very strong line in Janowski Variation against all-popular Catalan setups. The idea is simple. Black did not waste time developing Nf6 and Be7 and is in a position to immediately capture on c4 with a great play to follow. (Chapter 8)
  • Counter the Aggressive 4.Bg5 – This is perhaps the best attempt by White to test the Janowski. GM Ratkovic analyzed hundreds of games in the database and handpicked the best lines with plenty of hot waters for White. (Chapters 10)
  • Cracking Unusual Lines – GM Ratkovic reveals all the typical plans, patterns, and maneuvers that will be sufficient to prepare against 90% of off-beat lines arising in Janowski Variation. (Chapter 14)

If you want to simplify your opening preparation for Black and follow the tested-and-proven formula of success, GM Ratkovic’s new course is for you.
