It is a fairly simple, yet very powerful setup. It is quick to learn, easy to play, and becomes second nature once you understand the \u2018formula\u2019.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crashing the Petrov\u2019s Defense<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 IM Ratkovic shows two very simple ways to neutralize the Petrov\u2019s Game, without learning the theory. You get fast development and excellent attacking chances.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Winning the Philidor<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Good old Philidor can be tricky. But no worries. IM Ratkovic shows you the best System for White to face the Philidor. White always has an upper hand and soon will utilize its HUGE spatial advantage to collect a well-deserved \u20181-0\u2019.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Disassembling the Steinitz Defense<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Black decides not to go to the mainlines and plays 3 Knights Game? Bad idea. IM Ratkovic shows a way to obtain a completely winning middlegame position. After you learn the 3 key scenarios, the Black can just resign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>About the Author:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>IM Milovan Ratkovic [FIDE 2411]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>is a Serbian International Master and chess coach.
