Super-Coach IM Milovan Ratkovic reveals…

A Complete Master-Level Repertoire that Builds up from General Strategies to Cutting-Edge Novelties… to Take Down 1.e4 Opponents

Do you need a new opening with Black?

Perhaps you’re not getting the kind of positions you like or you just feel it’s time to really master an opening and get the edge every time you play it.

If that’s the case, here’s 5 reasons why you should consider the Caro-Kann:

  • It’s an ideas-based opening – no need to memorize 600 pages of theory.
  • Your opponents hate facing it. Play it properly and it’s very hard for White to get anything going.
  • You get easy development – unlike the French where the light-squared bishop gets caged in.
  • You get active positions (this is contrary to what many people think. If you end up with a passive position, you went wrong somewhere!)
  • It’s flexible. Don’t worry about your opponents preparing for you. You can switch things up in a number of ways, including castling on either side.

Ready to add the Caro-Kann to your repertoire?

Master this opening the right way with IM Milovan Ratkovic’s brand new Complete Caro-Kann

Caro-Kann expert IM Ratkovic gets you up to speed in just 10 hours:

  • Principled. Understand the big ideas in the Caro-Kann, how the pawn structure affects both sides’ plans, and you will always know what you should be doing.
  • Comprehensive. IM Ratkovic gives his tried and tested recommendations for every variation, from the classical 3.Nc3 to the Fantasy variation (3.f3!?) Correct strategy + killer ideas = quick wins.
  • Aggressive. Generate attacks in every situation with Milovan’s middlegame attacks. Discover how to use White’s plans against them and get dominant free-flowing attacks like this one (diagram).

Make sure you’re ready for the new chess season with a master-level opening that you know inside out.

This course is everything you need to master the Caro-Kann, even if you’ve never played it before.
