Interviewer: “How is that you pick better moves than your opponents?”

Alexander Alekhine: “Very simple. I think up my own moves and I make my opponent think up his.”

Alekhine was, like many World Champions, a genius. And he knew it.

But when, in 1921, he met 1.e4 with Nf6, the onlooking masters thought he had made a mistake.

He proved them wrong and…

Alekhine’s Defense was born.

50 years on, and Fischer stunned Spassky by playing it in their World Championship match (Bobby also scored 1.5/2).

And 50 years after that… comes GM Damian Lemos new Deep Dive on the Alekhine!

It’s over 6 hours long, covers all the theory, the must-know GM games, the tricks, traps, attacks, mainlines and sidelines.

Yes, you can play a counterattacking chess opening while keeping a solid position. You might find white has a slight advantage in some positions but you can still play for a win with black.

The current world champion Magnus Carlsen has also used this opening successfully.

Why not you?

Let’s face it, if you can obtain a solid position without needing to know lots of opening theory with black then you are doing well. The lines recommended in this Deep Dive course have been played at the highest level.

This comprehensive opening course covers all you need to know. You will learn how to get a solid position with chances to play for a win against the following white plans:

-Sidelines
-The Exchange Variation
-The Classical Variation
-Four Pawns Attack
