NM Neustroev Reveals…
The Complete Semi-Slav, a comprehensive guide to this deadly weapon against the most popular 1.d4
For those who play to win as Black, 1.d4 can be a tough nut to crack.
Playing the King’s Indian usually just leaves you suffering in a cramped position and many 1…d5 openings are just too passive.
The solution?
Anand and Kramnik’s favorite, the Semi-Slav.
The Semi-Slav – characterized by an early c6-d5-e6 pawn TRIANGLE – is like a time-bomb: Black stays solid while developing, castles nice and early then blows up the position with devastating pawn breaks!
Black gets FANTASTIC squares for the knights, the long diagonal for the light-squared bishop and White often just gets pushed off the board.
The secret is…
If you want to make the Semi-Slav your new secret weapon, Viktor Neustroev is here to help.
His brand new 14-hour course explains all the ideas behind the popular variations and shows HOW to put them into practice with analysis of the most instructive GM games.
What’s covered?
As the name suggests, The Complete Semi-Slav makes sure you’re prepared for anything White may try, from the Catalan set-up with g3 to the aggressive Meran, anti-Meran and Moscow variations.
3 advantages of the Semi-Slav:
- Choose how to win. Queenside pressure with rooks on the a-c files, kingside attack with Bb7 and knights jumping into dangerous squares, trade pieces for a superior endgame – you get to decide how the game goes… a rare luxury for Black!
- Early crushes. The well-timed pawn breaks you’ll learn in this course contain hidden venom. They gain time and open lines but also take away critical squares from White’s pieces. One wrong retreat and White will be completely tied up, allowing devastating attacks!
- Sneaky tactics. Black’s active pieces can set-up a ton of tactical patterns that will decide the game in your favor.
