Are you tired of spending hours memorizing countless opening lines that you'll never use?
We were too. That's why we surveyed hundreds of chess players and found that those who improved the most only studied openings for 5% of their total chess time.
Introducing our complete 1.e4 system with just 99 lines
We've condensed everything you need into a comprehensive repertoire you can review efficiently. But don't worry, you won't miss out on essential traps, novelties, and gotchyas. We recommend offbeat lines that are 4th or 5th most popular to get Black out of book before we are.
Focus on the plans
With our focus on resulting plans, you'll never be left in the dark. We provide a plan after each line so you know exactly where to put your pieces and how to navigate the middlegame. Our consistent recommendations highlight common plans, ideas, and motifs. If you forget a repertoire move in your games, it's easy to recover because you'll know the ideas behind the position.
The best part?
Our 1.e4 repertoire scores better than most other systems at the club level. We'll show you exactly why.
Here's what's included:
When you purchase our course, you'll receive a .pgn file with the entire repertoire, over 16,000 words of instruction, and 6.5 hours of video.

Michael
1 E4
Great Course, not a typical kind E4 course that I often see, these looks real fun and dynamic, D4 players can learn too.
Michal
Nice course
Been playing d4 for last 6 years, this course helps me switching to e4 (more like playing both depending on mood), even for a 1950 FIDE it's good material. The scotch is something I really like. Simple, yet powerful.
Marcel
Solid Repertoire with great attacking opportunities
I really love ChessGoals 1. e4 Repertoire for White. Matt and Jesse are a great duo as tutors, because they combine the knowledge of a master with the perspective of an adult-improver, who often brings up exactly those kinds of questions I myself would ask. The moves themselves give great attacking chances without being too risky or outlandish. I especially like the Scotch Game lines with opposite castling that often result in great kingside pawn storms. I also appreciate, very much, that the promise to leave us with a plan at the end of each line is consistently fulfilled, and you are never left wondering what you might do afterwards.
Steffen
A complete and thought-out repertoire
I found this e4 course as a 1000 rated player wanting to learn some "real" openings. In general like the simplicity of the course. The amount of lines is limited enought that you can still learn and digest it in a reasonable amount of time. Very nice is that Matt and Jessy are trying to guide different lines in a familiar position so you can remember these more easily. I think the resulting positions are very solid. I'm now rated 1300 and are going to continue my chess jorney with a course for black.
Raman
Easy to undersand and follow
I stumbled on e4 course while looking for reply to French defense. What struck me was that every move was explained in terms of ideas, in language which is easy to understand at my chess rating level. I enjoyed it so much that I started to incorporate other lines from the course in my repertoire and I am now planning to switch to Dynamic Slav just for the benefit of clear explanations, ideas and consistency.
