A Triple-Action Repertoire
For Winning Real Chess Games
Against Real Human Players

Forget the machine-generated opening lines, which run 30 moves deep chasing a tiny “theoretical” edge. This practical repertoire for White multiplies your experience advantage by 10 — minimizes the risk of opening disasters — and maximizes the value of your every move in real chess games, against real human players.

It’s called 100 Repertoires: Reti 1.Nf3 by FIDE Master Nate Solon.

Solon was a national and state chess champion, a former professional poker player, and a data scientist.

He’s made a living analyzing numbers, and uncovering not-so-obvious ways to gain the upper hand.

And in creating his first Chessable repertoire, Solon didn’t obsess with the engine’s “best move.” Instead, he drew inspiration from poker and data science to give you…

The Best Odds Of Actually Winning In Chess,
Not Just On The Analysis Board

For this purpose, Solon concluded that 1.Nf3 is the ideal start.

Here are the 3 major reasons why:

Reason #1: 1.Nf3 appears in only 5% of games. Which means your opponent with the black pieces has seen it only 5 times out of 100 games.

But if you start with 1.Nf3 exclusively, you’ll play it in 50 out of 100 games — giving you 10x more experience than your opponent!

With 1.e4 or 1.d4, you can’t get the same edge in preparation, because most people have a plan for dealing with them.

And if we’re talking about win rates:

1.Nf3 not only matches the stats of mainstream openings at the master level. The knight leap is also the best performing first move in club and online games!

Reason #2: You’ll minimize the risk of opening disasters, and set yourself up for success with the Reti super-castle.

You’ll invariably play 2.g3, 3.Bg2, and 4.O-O — with only a few well-explained exceptions.

so you can go after the full point without worry

In just 4 moves, your king has castled to safety. So the rest of your army can leap into action, without being paranoid about surprise mating attacks.

And plenty of action you’ll get because…

Reason #3: The majority of players will stick to what they know. They’ll continue as if they’re up against 1.d4, which plays straight into your hand.

With the high-scoring lines Solon recommends inside, you’ll exploit the holes in Black’s familiar-looking defenses, and collect long-term positional trumps with every move.

Here’s a sneak peek:

💥 Against the Queen’s Gambit Declined and Slav setups — where Black plays …d5, …e6, or …c6 — you’ll pry open the long diagonal and paralyze the enemy queenside. Scores up to 60% in practice.

💥 Against the space-gaining …d5, …c5, and …Nc6, you’ll shut down Black’s coup with your d-pawn — and dismantle their center with one pawn lever after another. Scores 63% in club and online games.

Precise pawn breaks decimate the enemy center,
while your bishops slice through the board

 

💥 And against 2…g6, like in the Grünfeld and King’s Indian Defense, you’ll neutralize Black’s attacking ambitions with a double fianchetto — while your superior pawns win the day. Scores up to 61% in practice.

Everything’s covered in just 100 MoveTrainer® variations and 4.5 hours of video — so you can start playing and winning with 1.Nf3 in the shortest time possible.

The end of every line lays out a clear plan to swing the game in your favor, while the average depth of 9.74 moves makes memorization easy.
