If you play 1.e4, much of your success depends on beating the Sicilian.
GM Sam Shankland just dropped his private analysis on 1...c5 to put Black in a "Maroczy-or Mayhem" Double Bind.

The h-file opens. Enemy pieces triple on your king. Danger sets in, you panic-calculate and play what feels safe... only to miss a third threat.
Acclaimed author CM Azel Chua is back to teach you his Recon—Rank—Respond method.
Stop panicking. Start defending 🔗👇
@dgriffinchess That is the line I proposed for Black vs the Italian in my latest @chessable LTR Original Arkhangelsk.
I was checking that line back in February, the course was published a few weeks ago, and it still is as good as back then!
I have bought a ton of @chessable courses over the years. Love them. But I very rarely buy video upgrades. But 12 hours of @Kasparov63 on Great Predecessors vol1 for only £50? YES PLEASE!!
Round 4 of the GM round-robin in Budapest!
After 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 dxc4!? 4.e4 c5 5.d5 exd5 6.Qxd5 Qxd5 7.exd5, we reached this position.
Can you guess which @chessable course this is from and who wrote it? Hint: he's Polish, like me
Prep worked perfectly - full point! ♟️
Finding moves that win is good. Finding moves that consistently beat players rated 200+ points higher is game-changing.
NM Luke Calhoun and his PhD statistician brother built The Practical Colle System: a lightweight White repertoire to help you punch above your weight.

My new @chessable course is out.
A complete repertoire against everything but 1.e4, built on the modern QGD with 3…h6. Two options in the main lines, including against the Catalan. Against the London and slower setups, we get the bishop out to f5. No more worrying about Bg5 😄
"I hate playing against 1.d4." 😩
If you dread facing 1.d4, 1.c4, 1.Nf3, or any other non-e4 opening, India’s Gold-winning Olympiad coach GM Arjun Kalyan has one strategy: systematically neutralize and shut down White's bishops.
