From my experience, Black players has been always debating which variation to play after 1.d4 d5 . 2c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 dxc4 5.a4. My suggestion is reliable 5...e6. I offer a very detailed coverage from the starting position after 5...e6. Depending on White choice the play might be very sharp (White can sacrifice a pawn in several variations), or more positional after 6.e3. If you study my file you are going to feel very comfortable for many years ahead! Published for Advanced level only.

This file features Black full repertoire against English Opening (previously I released two different parts on my site). My choice is 1.c4 e5, a fully independent variation which can be studied regardless your choices against 1.d4, 1.Nf3, 1.g3 etc. There are 6 major White moves covered 2.Nc3, 2.g3, 2.d3, 2.Nf3, 2.e3 and 2.a3 in detail. There are separate 23 chapters and 23 memory test positions in the file. The cherry on top is Adhiban Gambit in the main line 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Nf3 e4 4.Ng5 c6!?. I believe this repertoire will serve you for many years ahead! Good for 1600+ level.

I am aware that many players feel uncomfortable against 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 b5. In his second publication Michael Roiz offers White solution against Benko Gambit. I believe it's a great timing since Black has discovered some playable lines against the main 5.bxa6 . I am a big believer that Benko offers White an opportunity to fight for advantage and the right approach is to have a good line against it. Studying this variation is a great investment in long run!

Very excited to introduce a first file of Michael Roiz, well-renowned theoretician, strong GM and well-known coach. Lately 6...Nc6 7.0-0 e5 line has been doing extremely well for Black against KID fianchetto variation. Michael offers a surprising solution 7.d5!?. It comes with detailed analyses and a bunch of new strategical ideas!

Are you looking for interesting and not very theoretical Ruy Lopez line for Black, which would promise thematic complexity of closed pawnstructure? I would like to suggest relatively rare line, which looks very interesting and reliable for Black.

Very excited to introduce Black independent (not connected with you response to 1.Nf3, or 1.d4) Repertoire against English Opening -1.c4 . The first part starts from the position 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6. Second part 1.c4 e5 not 2.Nc3 will be released in two weeks. This material is also published on Modern-Chess platform, but I offer much cheaper price, since it comes without video. My PGN file will be for the first time in Modern-Chess format : split into 11 separate chapters and also includes 11 Memory test positions. A cornerstone of my repertoire is exciting Adhiban Gambit after 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Nf3 e4 4.Ng5 c6! with exciting play. To get PGN file please head over to my web page ask-avrukh.com

Recently Modern Benoni has been very trendy thanks to the efforts of Super GM Richard Rapport. Also Magnus played it successfully during Grenke tournament. I have already recommended this line (Four pawn attack) 4 years ago (you can find it on my site ask-avrukh.com), but now I came up with surprising 9.Be2, which in my opinion creates a lot of problems for Black players.

When we encounter the most popular White opening against 1.e4 e5 Giuoco Piano, or so called Italian the majority of players prefer 3...Bc5. I am pretty sure that there will be many players, who would prefer to have Black bishop on e7, or avoid some of the White alternatives to slow Italian ( set-up with d3). It can be achieved through 3...Nf6 move order, but not everyone like to study 4.Ng5 line and all complicated positions, which are happening after 4...d5 5.exd5 Na5 6.Bb5 c6 7.dxc6 bxc6 etc , which you can already find on my web page. Therefore I believe it would be a great news for Black players to know that 5...b5 is viable alternative to well-established theory.
