Welcome to my "Chess Openings - Complete Repertoire for Black" Course

Welcome to my Complete Opening Repertoire for Black course, the only course you need to learn to how to play as Black in the opening.

I’m Manuel, a top chess player from Luxembourg who has also spent several over 15 years in the online teaching world. I want to share my passion for the game of chess and teach everything that I learn, including one of main opening repertoires.

My course is designed to be interactive, as I’ll take you step-by-step through engaging video tutorials.

Statistically speaking, in the starting position White plays the move 1.e4 (King’s Pawn Opening) or 1.d4 (Queen’s Pawn Opening) in over 80% of the games.

That’s why we’ll create a very detailed and aggressive opening repertoire to meet these 2 openings, where we will not only aim to get a good position, but to fight for an advantage as well.

After our main repertoire is prepared, we’ll study all the other 18 possible moves that White has to start the game. The key will be to cover these options in a smart way, aiming to transpose into lines that we have already studied if White plays good moves. But we’ll also aim for an early opening advantage if White decides to play dubious moves.

This course includes practical activities in every section to make sure that you'll test your new knowledge. I’ll provide you with all the games and variations that I’ll analyze so that you can download them and keep them, both in PDF and PGN format.

Throughout this comprehensive course, we’ll study a lot of openings and variations, including:

  • The Sicilian Defense, Dragon Variation

  • The Sicilian Defense, Prins Variation

  • The Sicilian Defense, Hungarian Variation

  • The Sicilian Defense, Moscow Variation

  • The Sicilian Defense, Closed Variation

  • The Sicilian Defense, Alapin Variation

  • The English Opening
