  • Beating the Pirc/Modern with the Fianchetto Variation
    One of the most solid and consistently successful systems available against 1..d6 and 1..g6 is the subtle Fianchetto. If you play 1.e4, you will want to know how to beat the Pirc/Modern. If you play either of these 2 defenses, you will want to know what will be played against you. The White setup is pawns at e4, d4, and g3, White Knights at c3 and e2, and Bishops at g2 and usually e3 - then attack, attack!

  • FOXY OPENINGS - VOLUME 56 - Win with 1...d6 Part 1
    The first of two videos on systems with 1...d6, this one based on the flexible Czech System (1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 c6).

    The Czech System introduces a fascinating area of opening play, where with well-timed counter-measures Black aims to destabilize the whole White set-up. The Czech is much less susceptible to direct attack than a regular Pirc Defense.

    Part 1: Pseudo-Austrian 4.f4
    Part 2: Aggressive Lines 4.Be3/4.Bg5/4.f3
    Part 3: Classical 4.Nf3
    Part 4: Quiet Systems 4.g3/4.a4
