Why Was This Course Created?

Opening theory has evolved tremendously in recent years thanks to powerful chess databases, modern computer engines, and the work of professional players and coaches. At the same time, most chess players have jobs, studies, and other responsibilities outside chess. They may only have a limited amount of time to prepare for a local tournament in the evening or to play online after a busy day.

If this sounds familiar, then this course is designed for you: The Best 10 Aggressive and Blitz-Friendly Openings.

In order to win more games, we need to create winning chances. That means playing actively, creating imbalances, and putting pressure on our opponents from the very beginning. Your goal should be to avoid passive positions and instead build a game where you can take the initiative and make your opponent solve difficult problems.

This is why IM Asaf Givon and Angelo Kesaris created this course. Both are experienced professional chess coaches who understand that players need practical solutions rather than endless hours of memorizing opening theory. Throughout the course, they provide useful shortcuts, practical ideas, and important tips designed to maximize your winning chances with both White and Black.

Instead of spending countless hours studying thousands of variations, you will learn a carefully selected repertoire of 10 aggressive and practical openings that are especially suitable for real games, rapid chess, and blitz.

After completing this course, you will have a dynamic opening repertoire that you can confidently use in your own games and continue developing for years to come.
