⭐ 5.0/5 Average Rating. Join the elite club players who are mastering defense and building a professional, cohesive opening repertoire.
Stop relying on opening tricks. Get the complete, master-level system you need to outplay your opponents, defend like a rock, and grind out wins with technique.
The Advanced Expert Bundle is our most comprehensive collection for serious players. We’ve combined 5 sophisticated courses into one package designed to give you a complete, harmonious repertoire (White & Black) and the high-level defensive skills required to survive against strong opponents. This is your toolkit for the road to Expert.
✅ A Complete "System" Repertoire
Stop memorizing disconnected lines. Master a cohesive repertoire (London, Sicilian, Benko) based on understanding plans, pawn structures, and thematic middlegames.
✅ Become Unbreakable
Defense is the hardest skill to master. Learn the art of prophylaxis (stopping threats before they start) and how to turn a "lost" position into a swindle using fortresses and counter-attacks.
✅ Crush 1.d4 and 1.e4
Stop playing for a draw with Black. The Sicilian Dragon and Benko Gambit give you aggressive, unbalanced positions where you can fight for the full point against any opponent.
✅ Master the London System
Go beyond the basics. Learn the modern GM theory and deep middlegame plans that make the London a deadly weapon at the expert level.
"This course doesn't have too many lines, but is rich in ideas and variety. It's definitely meant for those seeking imbalance and active play in their openings. This is probably one of the best options for black for creative play."
