Ideas Behind the Openings – Lilov Chess Institute – Vol 02

With this new, 16 hour course, IM Valeri Lilov sets out to solve one of the biggest problems for club players: how to improve their openings.


Instead of presenting a never-ending stream of computer-recommended variations, Valeri describes the strategic aims of each side. Things like where to place each piece, which side of the board to attack on and which exchanges benefit you.


Armed with this knowledge, you can be confident in finding strong moves and making progress even when your opponent plays something unexpected – as they inevitably will!


IM Lilov has chosen openings based on 3 factors:

  1. Popularity – it’s no good knowing how to play an opening that never appears on the board!
  2. Winning chances – we’re not playing for a draw here. Our openings must give us a way to create dynamic opportunities.
  3. Systematic approach – each opening should fit a clearly identifiable strategy. There will be exceptions we need to remember but this approach saves a huge amount of time – and reduces the risk of critical errors – compared to rote memorization. It also teaches you far more about chess!


Regardless of whether you’re a 1.e4 or 1.d4 player – or if your major opening issues comes with the Black pieces- IM Lilov is ready to show you how to navigate the opening phase with the calm confidence that comes from knowing what you’re doing.


Each chapter is labelled to help you quickly find the information you need to learn. With over 16 hours of material, it could become overwhelming, but not if you start with the videos related to the opening you play most often. Once you’ve absorbed the ideas behind this, move on the next one.


Ideas Behind the Openings 
comes with an invaluable course summary to help you refer to the main points quickly and practical tests to make sure you’re 100% ready to use your new knowledge in competitive play!
