Stand Your Ground In The Center And Unbalance The Pawns For The Win!
Imagine scoring an impressive 55% as Black, outplaying “booked up” opponents rated 300 points higher, and enjoying chess now more than ever — thanks to your newfound strategic prowess.
Sounds unbelievable? Maybe. But only until you check Chess.com or your favorite chess database, and see the numbers yourself.
And the best part:
Two award-winning authors — International Master Christof Sielecki and Grandmaster Erwin l’Ami — show you everything you must know to play this fighting defense like a pro.
Both Sielecki and l’Ami have a reputation for delivering cutting-edge analysis and game-changing instruction. No wonder they racked up honors in the 2021 Chessable Awards, while over 4,800 happy students showered them with stellar reviews.
In their first project together, Sielecki and l’Ami combined their expertise to bring you…
The Ambitious Triangle Slav For The Go-Getter
The first player’s space advantage after 1.d4 can be a serious pain in the butt. So much so that Black must choose between contorting their position to create a semblance of counterplay — or get crushed by White’s superior control of the board.
That's why Lifetime Repertoires: Triangle Slav stamps out further space-gaining attempts by White with 1…d5.
The plan is to build a triangular bastion of pawns after 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 or 3.Nf3 c6 — which secures your claim in the center… keeps your pieces safe and sound as they develop… and prepares to disrupt the pawn structure at just the right time to snatch the advantage.
Yes. The Triangle Slav is ambitious, and its sharp positions can get demanding. But Sielecki and l’Ami are more than up to the task.
The 466 trainable variations inside contain industrial-grade analysis, so you can play them against anyone with confidence. Plus, the authors' timely transpositions “shortcut” the theory and save you valuable study time.
Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll discover inside:
🔥 Miraculous queen maneuvers against the Marshall Gambit (4.e4) — which multiplies your material advantage and calmly repels one threat after another.
🔥 How to play the Noteboom Variation (4...dxc4), and wrestle the initiative from White. You’ll also be given a line which scores up to 55% against master-level opposition and beyond.
🔥 How to sweep all e3-setups with a sudden transposition to the Stonewall. Your vise-grip on the light squares means White isn’t breaking out any time soon, and their c1-bishop might as well be a pawn!
🔥 The “creepy crawler” which breaks the Catalan’s central bind before it even materializes.
🔥 How to hook onto the London System’s f4-bishop and start a self-sustaining kingside attack. White may avoid immediate checkmate, but not the rotten pawns nor the grim knight on the rim.
And many more.
Lifetime Repertoires: Triangle Slav is as comprehensive as an opening course can get — with over 100,000 words of high-quality instruction and over 29 hours of video on top of the pinpoint accurate analysis.
But thanks to the three Quickstarter chapters, you can start playing and winning with the Triangle Slav for a tiny fraction of the time. And as an added perk of this "modular" approach, plugging any of the core chapters into your existing repertoire is a snap.
