Titled Players Winning With My White Repertoire

Titled Players Winning With My White Repertoire

Illingworth
| 8

For a Grandmaster like myself, openings aren't a 'set and forget' thing - we're constantly scouring the databases and broadcasts for new, interesting games. 

By playing through games each day, we don't just get the inside scoop on new moves that could pose problems for our opponents (or us!), but also greatly improve our understanding and our ability to play the positions arising from our openings.

That's why, in the last days, I've uploaded some free training videos on Youtube, showing how strong players (including Magnus Carlsen) play the middlegame positions arising from my suggested repertoire in 'Crush Sub-1800s With 1.e4'. 

Check them out below in this special playlist I just created for you: 

And here's the link to the freebie mentioned in the first video. (You're welcome!)


Also, as a treat for the Chess.com community, I've included the PGN of the games analyzed in the playlist above (as of 10-29-2022), so that you can try out different moves to those explained in the videos:

I hope you found this post instructive and enjoyable! If you enjoy my teaching style, you can book a FREE Application Call for my group coaching program.

Once I reach my limit of 10 students, I won't be accepting any more private students.
