Webinar: How to Crush 1.d4 from Move 2!! - IM Valeri Lilov

It's very easy to find yourself on the wrong side of a positional grind when facing 1.d4. White usually pushes the c-pawn next and you're left struggling for room to breathe. It takes patience and slow maneuvering before you can get any sort of activity for your pieces.

That changes now!

In this week's free webinar, IM Valeri Lilov is going to introduce you to an opening that gives you rapid development AND instant pressure over the center. A counter-attacking weapon that will take your opponent out of their comfort zone on move 2, handing you an enormous psychological advantage.

You're going to learn:

A sneaky pawn sacrifice that wins Black the initiative as early as move 5 - even Levon Aronian couldn't handle the pressure and found himself unable to do anything with the White pieces!
How to ramp up the pressure and let it build into a relentless, overwhelming attack, ruthlessly targeting your opponent's weaknesses.
The killer blow that shocked the whole world - deadly sacrifices to smash the enemy's King position.
Not only will you pick up a powerful new opening, you're also going to learn how GMs retain and build the initiative until it turns into a game-winning advantage. If you're bored of positional grinds as Black, make sure you join IM Valeri Lilov for this webinar!

If you're serious about getting better at chess but don't have much time to spend on study, our weekly webinars will give you the best return for your time. Real insights, real improvement, every week. And they're free!

Certainly gained a lot of respect for Chigorin lately. The Chigorin variation in the Roy Lopez also impresses. My kind of game. It also allows for Pc6 vs 1.Pf3, enabling e5 in openings where Pf3 is played to prevent it, forcing white in openings they may not like and don't prepare for. Taking them 'out of book'

Sir can you make a repertoire for black

What if they dont play c4 in the chigorin

At 10:10, any player will see the sledgehammer-obvious Qa4+, dude. You left your king exposed versus white’s advanced center pawns. I mean, in the line you showed, yeah—looks fine. But I don’t know too many players who would miss Qa4+ there as a solid response.

I totally get what you’re looking to get across with this video, and I do dig your other videos, but you’ve gotta present the obvious forcing lines like that. Because every player is gonna find and play them against you. You don’t need to be Fischer to find Qa4+. It’s not losing for black or anything. But I definitely would take white all day, every day, and twice on Sunday in this position.

You sometimes sounded like a Chigorin was a refutation of Queens gambit :D

[joychandrakhuraijam]

I think chigorin defense cannot be placed unless the player is strong in midgame

[Mikeontube]

No way Donald Trump is playing chess that good! :D Btw, great video, thank you!
