An Active Repertoire for Black against 1.e4

In this FritzTrainer, International Master Sam Collins presents an active repertoire for Black against 1.e4 e5, based on the active development of the bishop to c5.

The different opening systems share similar strategic ideas. Black develops the bishop actively outside the pawn chain, fights for control of the important d4-square and creates opportunities for active play against the white king.

Spanish, Italian, Scotch and Other Open Games

The course covers a wide range of important Open Games, including systems against the Spanish and Italian Games as well as the Four Knights Game, Scotch Gambit, King’s Gambit, Vienna Game and Centre Game.

Sam Collins explains not only concrete variations, but also typical plans, tactical motifs and recurring strategic ideas. This makes the course particularly useful for players who want to build a consistent and active repertoire against 1.e4.

More Than 5 Hours of Video Training

The course offers around 5 hours and 13 minutes of video training. Interactive exercises with video feedback allow you to test your knowledge and practise important positions from the repertoire.

A database with more than 1,600 model games provides additional practical examples and helps deepen your understanding of the opening systems.
