A Complete Black Repertoire against 1.Nf3 & 1.c4
This video course offers you a complete, clear repertoire for Black against the moves 1.Nf3 and 1.c4. The recommended variations are easy to learn and not difficult to remember, but also pose White serious challenges.
Robert Ris: "Player of the week is top GM Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, who has a very impressive 6/6 record so far in the Azerbaijan National Championship. In round one he knocked out GM Farid Abbasov, who had opted for the Larsen 1.b3 opening.
A completely new position appeared on the board on move 6 when Black decided to sacrifice a queen for three minor pieces. The position remained fairly balanced for some time, but after a serious mistake White quickly lost control and the game."
