Lifetime Repertoires Symmetrical English by IM David Vigorito

Shut Down 1.c4’s Move Order Tricks
And Copy Your Way To Opening Success

If you’d love to give the English a dose of its own medicine…and enjoy ambitious yet airtight positions out of the opening, then you will love International Master David Vigorito’s counter to 1.c4.

Most chess improvers know IM Vigorito as a highly experienced author and trainer. But he is also a tournament veteran and a multiple-time state champion. One who knows the English like the back of his hand, because he plays it himself!

And his recommended antidote when facing his favorite opening:

Play The Symmetrical Variation

The idea is simple: the English is one of the most versatile and positionally aggressive openings for White. So let’s copy it as Black!

With 1…c5, you enjoy the same flexibility White has, while instantly neutralizing dangerous transpositions to 1.d4 (cutting down your study time).

But the best part: IM Vigorito shows you when exactly to break symmetry…so you can capitalize on the “holes” of White’s chosen setup.

Inside Lifetime Repertoires: Symmetrical English, you will learn how to:

🎯 Ruin auto-pilot play with the Reversed Botvinnik, where you control the lion’s share of the center and get to play wherever you like on the board.

🎯 Undermine the Maroczy Bind, and turn it into Maroczy Fail. David shows you how to break down your opponent’s center into a sitting duck for your hyper-active pieces.

🎯 Make White’s extra move in the Reversed Tarrasch into a dud, while you keep mounting pressure on d4 ’til it breaks.

🎯 Meet the Four Knights Variation with multi-purpose attacking moves, forcing the opponent to cover up and defend…while your pieces burst into action.

🎯 Transposition tricks and smart move orders. All of which quickly equalize in the short run, and give you plenty of winning chances as the game progresses.

PLUS many more!

This Lifetime Repertoire covers just about everything White can play after 1.c4, with over 500 engine-checked variations and 16-plus hours of video. But you need not comb through the entire lot to start racking up points…
