1.Nf3: A Reti-Grandmaster course for strategic understanding and flexibility Vol.1 - Fianchetto Systems

Looking for a versatile and strategic opening repertoire that doesn’t rely on memorising endless variations? In this course, Grandmaster Felix Blohberger delivers a complete opening repertoire for White, centred around the flexible move 1.Nf3. Whether you’re a club player or a seasoned competitor, this course offers a solid yet dynamic approach that adapts to various playing styles and opponents.

Video sample: Introduction

Video sample: Grunfeld - Sidelines

Instead of forcing lines, Felix emphasises deep positional understanding and flexible structures, making it easy to transition into systems like the Réti or the English Opening. His recommended King’s Fianchetto provides a strong, reliable setup, perfect for players who prefer strategic play and flexibility rather than memorising long, complicated lines. In this Volume we discuss the Fianchetto Systems: King’s Indian, Grunfeld Defence, Modern Defence, Maroczy Defence, Quuen’s Indian, Hedgehog, Double Fianchetto, Dutch Defence and Sidelines.
