Fighting 1.e4 – The Complete Repertoire for Black with FM Yuriy Krykun

The Complete, “Low-Theory” Repertoire for Black against 1.e4!

1.e4 is the most popular first move in chess.

The chances are, you’ll see 1.e4 in nearly half of your games with Black!

Sure, you can respond with 1…e5, Sicilian, Caro-Kann, or French… but learning all these lines and variations would turn out very time-consuming and tedious.

We are all busy, who has MONTHS to hit the books and learn a bunch of opening theory?

Well, FM Yuriy Krykun has just finished Fighting 1.e4: The Complete Repertoire for Black with a ‘heavy’ emphasis on practicality and simplicity. No need to memorize the mainline theory for the lines you’ll likely never face in your entire chess life!

Instead, FM Krykun gives you 2 full repertoires against 1.e4 based on Czech Pirc and a very special setup in Alekhine’s Defense!

It is reliable and can be played well no matter your style…by tacticians and positional players alike.

What do you get?

It is a practical repertoire. We won’t be chasing 100% computer approval with 0.00 evaluation in every line.

This is NOT a repertoire to play against the best engines or super-GMs. It is a preparation to get a sizable edge against most under 2200 FIDE opponents… they’ll have no idea how to play those positions with White!

Here is what you’ll learn:

• GM Memedyarov’s strong surprise weapon for Black against White’s mainline in Czech Pirc
• Magnus Carlsen’s sneaky move order in Alekhine’s Defense to cut down the INSANE amount of theory and avoid White’s most dangerous responses
• The choice of two systems in Alekhine’s Defense and when to use each one?
• How to reduce White’s possibilities in Czech Pirc, steering the game towards the positions YOU want?
• Powerful antidots against the sidelines and off-beat variations in both Czech Pirc and Alekhine’s Defense

In this opening training, FM Yuriy Krykun gives you a complete blueprint to take your opponent out of “book” in as little as 4-5 moves!

FM Krykun has many amazing victories against FMs, IMs, and even GMs using this simple repertoire!
