White would want to challenge the f5-pawn right away. As Black, you have to keep the pressure on the e4-square nonetheless. Let Ratkovic show you how.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The e6-square weakness<\/strong>. That f5 pawn move does create a \u201chole\u201d in your position. After the \u2026d6 or \u2026d5 move, White gets control of the e6 square. Now what? Discover more about your plans or the key squares to fight for.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The ambitious f-pawn<\/strong>. The f-pawn can advance ahead at times\u2014to break through White\u2019s position. Find out how you can do this against the English opening. Hint: please exchange your bishop for the c3-knight first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capturing the long diagonal<\/strong>. Often the fianchettoed dark-squared bishop can be a deadly weapon in your hands. Watch Chapters 17 and 18 carefully to know how best to deploy it against the Queen\u2019s Knight Variation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leningrad Dutch 8.b3 Variation<\/strong>. White often puts his knight on the d5 outpost\u2014painfully near to the Black king. Learn how to tackle this monster knight once and for all, and still escape unscathed nonetheless.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This course is built for both beginners and advanced-level players alike.
