1. e4 - The Lazy Way

An Opening Repertoire for the smart Player

• Software

Produktbeschreibung

How much opening prep is really necessary - especially in blitz and rapid games? Inspired by my coach Chebanenko, I continue the idea of a "lazy" but smart repertoire: minimal theory, rich ideas, and easy-to-remember structures.In this second volume, we explore practical setups for White after 1.e4. Against 1...e5, I skip the overloaded Italian Game and recommend flexible systems with d3. Versus the Caro-Kann, the modest-looking 2.Nf3 followed by 3.d3 has become my favourite - and one of the most annoying for Caro-Kann players!Against the Sicilian, I advocate for setups echoing the Closed Sicilian - strategic and easy to learn. The French is met with the classic King's Indian Attack, focusing on lines with Nbd2.Video running time: 3 hours 15 minutes (English)The product contains an activation key for:- ChessBase training App (Download and installation for Windows and Mac)- ChessBase-Books (Online version for web browsers)- Video stream for iPad, tablet, PC etc. in the ChessBase video portalTRAIN SMARTER!- Copy & Save all variations- Watch video with an engine on multiple devices- Training features includedThese systems are not just practical - they're played by Magnus Carlsen himself.
