Attacking Repertoire for Club Players 1. e4 by FM Midas Ratsma

Introducing the Attacking Repertoire for Club Players: 1.e4. Brought to you by experienced chess coach and FIDE Master Midas Ratsma, this club player-friendly course will show you how to pick a fight early on and see it through to an exciting, attacking middlegame – if your opponent doesn’t lose right in the opening.

This extraordinarily practical repertoire gives aggressive but solid fighting lines for White against virtually every major opening Black can play against 1.e4. You’ll learn how to:

💥 Launch a lethal kingside assault right away with the Scotch Gambit. You’ll look forward to seeing your opponent play 1…e5 with this beautifully simple yet destructive opening gambit

💥 Take the steam out of Black’s Sicilian and convert it into your own with the Alapin Variation.

💥 Let Black *think* they’re winning in the French with a tricky setup in the Advance Variation that will crush any dreams they have of undermining your strong center

💥 Crack the Caro-Kann with a punchy Advance Variation 1…c6 players that will squeeze the life out of Black’s position

💥 Be prepared for any opening Black can pull. Scandinavian, Pirc, Philidor, Owen Defense (1…b6), Modern Defense (1…g6), it’s all here. Even annoying sidelines like the Elephant Gambit and Latvian Gambit are covered!

Train Your Openings *and* Your Tactics – and Win

As an experienced coach, FM Ratsma knows that at club level, tactics decide the vast majority of games – and for an attacking player, tactical skill is essential. That’s why for each opening, he’s included a dedicated tactics chapter where you can practice common tactics you’ll likely face in your games.

On top of that, he’s included an additional theme-based tactics chapter which tests all the knowledge you picked up throughout the course, making sure you’re truly battle-ready.

This focus on the fundamentals – with a little spice thrown in – is what makes FM Ratsma such a popular and well-reviewed coach. You’ll quickly see why as you experience his straight-forward teaching style for yourself!

So if you’re ready to jolt your openings with a little adrenaline and put the challenge to your opponents right away, this repertoire is for you – get the Attacking Repertoire for Club Players: 1.e4 today.
