Countering 1.d4 Gambits with GM Jacek Stopa

Learn Countering 1.d4 Gambits with GM Jacek Stopa

You are playing an important game and open with 1.d4.

You feel confident. You know your openings.

And then THIS happens.

Your opponent throws a Gambit at you.

You make ‘logical’ moves, but the position goes from bad to worse.

A few moves later, it’s all over.

It’s a terrible feeling.

How do I know? Well, I’ve been there.

Tens of thousands of players lose games to gambit play.

The good news is, you won’t be one of them.

Polish Grandmaster Jacek Stopa presents his brand-new course, Countering 1.d4 Gambits. GM Stopa reveals the most effective and lean ways for White to refute the 3 most dangerous gambits: Albin Counter-Gambit, Budapest Gambit, and Queen’s Gambit Accepted.

Here is some of what you’ll learn:

• How to surprise your opponent with their own ‘surprise weapon’?
• The #1 top-scoring setup against the Albin-Counter Gambit
• How to double your attacking potential with the ‘Classical Knight Maneuver’?
• Navigating in the most counter-intuitive line in the Budapest Gambit (your map is inside)
• Launching a crushing attack against the Budapest Gambit with GM Stopa’s most favorite ‘Active Bishop Setup’ (8/10 players will lose with Black!!)
• Lean preparation in the Queen’s Gambit Accepted (GM Stopa selected the QGA most practical & zero-theory lines)
• The ‘WRONG’ way to play against the isolated pawn (this method will help you win tons of games on under-2000 FIDE)

…and those are just a few things you’ll learn from this training!

If you are an ambitious player and want to bulletproof your opening preparation for White, this course is for you.

Playing those Gambits with Black? GM Stopa shares the most up-to-date analysis and top-performing plans & ideas for both sides!
