DOWNLOAD - Master Modern Opening Strategy: Flank Attacks in 60 Minutes

Today’s top players are moving away from memorising endless forced lines. Instead, they’re embracing a modern, flexible approach — shaping the game with original strategies and creative use of flank pawns to gain space and control. This course dives into one of the most dynamic and practical ideas in modern chess: using early pawn thrusts like b5 against Réti setups or b4 against the King’s Indian and Grünfeld Defences to seize the initiative on the queenside. You’ll discover how these strategies challenge traditional thinking, sidestep heavy theory, and create rich positions where understanding beats memorisation. Whether you’re a club player or a tournament competitor, you’ll learn how to apply these concepts with confidence and purpose - in your own games. Let’s explore this powerful approach together — and turn fresh ideas into winning weapons.
