Hi there, 

There are a lot of solid choices against 1.d4. They are reliable, have been around for hundreds of years and are played at the highest level all the time. That’s, however one of the biggest problems with these openings; they are too well-studied and well-known even at the club level.

Indeed, you can play the King’s Indian or Benoni but those are also frequently seen openings, meaning all your opponents will know them.

To be competitive, you’ll need to dive deep into the opening theory, spend countless weeks if not months studying all lines and variations, just to survive the Opening and reach playable Middlegame…

It doesn’t sound very fun, does it?

If you want to play a truly fighting opening, the one that your opponents aren’t well-prepared for The Blumenfeld Gambit is exactly what you need! It has been gaining popularity and if you understand the key plans and ideas, it will become your #1 weapon for black in no time!

What is the Blumenfeld Gambit and why do you want to play it?

The Blumenfeld Gambit is a rich opening with a history spanning for over one hundred years. This "defense" is closely related to other openings which have been extremely popular in modern times, including the Benko Gambit and the sharp Benoni.

What's in this course for you?

This 6-hour course arms you with a dynamic, yet sound repertoire for Black against 1.d4. This opening is meant to be played sharply and for the initiative, but I do not recommend unsound sacrifices or speculative continuations.

With Blumenfeld Gambit, you will always be one step ahead of your competition. While your opponent stares at the board trying to figure out the next logical move, you will already know the winning sequence and correct plans, paired with flawless execution.

You can just relax and enjoy the game... It is a much better position to be in! It not just takes the stress out of your game. This opening preparation gives you an instant confidence booster.

Let's get started.
