This 60-minute course is a selection of exciting and practical openings that are both easy to learn and enjoyable to play. Current opening theory can be lengthy and complex, so exploring less conventional options can bring a fresh variety to your games. While this is not a complete repertoire, the included openings cover several bases. As Black, you will be equipped with the dynamic Portuguese Variation of the Scandinavian Defence against 1.e4 and a creative 3…h6 line against 1.d4. As White, we explore the aggressive Scotch Gambit and the versatile King’s Indian Attack that can be quickly yet effectively added to your repertoire. The video section highlights the main ideas behind these openings, while more detailed opening files are available for closer review.
