Disarm Traps, Punish Blunders, And
Skyrocket Your Score After 1.e4
Best-selling authors Raf “CraftyRaf” Mesotten and International Master Andras Toth’s new course teaches you how to sidestep hidden traps… punish early blunders… and bring the full point home before the opening is over.
Mesotten and Toth rose to Chessable fame thanks — in no small part — to their newbie-friendly courses. All of which help ambitious students perfect the fundamentals.
In their latest course, the duo fine-tunes your tactical awareness and “sense of danger,” especially in the opening.
Common Opening Traps And Blunders 1.e4: Part 2 drills the most critical 1.e4 traps and blunders into your game, turning you into…
That Razor-Sharp Tactician
Capable Of Quick Kills And
Shocking Miniatures
Here’s one of the biggest mistakes club players make when studying openings:
They obsess about grandmaster-level variations.
You know, the proper chess stuff seen in top tournaments. But while “copying” the world’s best is good for one’s chess…
Games between non-masters is anything but proper. Inaccuracies will be played. Blunders will be made. And traps will be sprung. All in a span of 12 club-level moves or less.
If you know only the tournament-tested and engine-approved variations, you might miss an easy win… or fall for a devious trick, which could’ve been avoided with a little know-how.
Common Opening Traps And Blunders 1.e4: Part 2 bridges that gap!
In the course, Mesotten and Toth show you the dubious moves, the most common traps to avoid, and the blunders to pounce on after 1.e4.
So when game-time comes, you’ll be ready to capitalize on those hidden opportunities in the opening… and convert them into a convincing victory.
Part one of the series dealt with the Italian Game, Scotch Opening, and other 1.e4 e5 lines. Inside part two, you’ll get:
💣 More than 250 MoveTrainer® puzzles which infuse the must-know traps and tactics into your memory.
💣 Over 3 hours of video of IM Andras Toth analyzing the positional elements leading to the tactics. Toth is a top chess educator and a “breakout” author, known for his clarity of instruction. So after watching his breakdowns, you too will start looking at the board with the eyes of a dangerous tactician.
💣 Major openings covered, including the Ruy Lopez, Petrov and Philidor Defense. PLUS, tricky club-favorite sidelines like the King’s Gambit, Pirc Defense, Latvian Gambit, and many more.
Winning in chess is so much easier, when you know the common traps and blunders in your opening like the back of your hand. See for yourself when you…

Really good course
Nicholas (verified owner) –
Some courses handled the opening principles nicely
Aadarsh (verified owner) –
The ideas taught in this course helped me defend against a brutal attack in my last tournament. I was able to secure the half-point once I defused the attack.
Michael (verified owner) –
I bought this course with video few weeks ago (thanks to @JRHat for recommending it to me).
Porse (verified owner) –
As a beginner it’s easy to get overwhelmed by big repertoires but this one has the perfect number of lines and yet,
Richard (verified owner) –
Even when one of my opponents didn’t follow theory, which often happens with beginners,
Chelsi (verified owner) –
more importantly, when we have to make an exception to the standard plan, a very good explanation of what would happen if we didn’t do it,
Avery (verified owner) –
keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Alan (verified owner) –
In two recent wins, my opponents failed to follow the golden rules, making it easy for me to win the games.
Max (verified owner) –
Wonderfully Structured and Organized Course
Kai (verified owner) –
Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
Putri Nuraisyah (verified owner) –
For taking all the fun out of my chess games. I never thought anybody would be cruel enough to make winning so easy that chess has become boring.
Bambang (verified owner) –
Even above beginner level, knowing the first ten moves is usually sufficient, and the variations in this course average nine moves.
Aiden (verified owner) –
I am an expert rated chess player FIDE Rated 2306 who had the privilege to beta-test this wonderful course. I went through some of the chapters of this course namely,
Jhony (verified owner) –
he gives you basic principles that just works 90% of the situations – it sounded silly to me at first, but then it became a daily prayer
Kaden Arabic (verified owner) –
Also, this course is not aimed at advanced and master level therefore; it didn’t overwhelmed me with things that I don’t need to worry about at my level.
Hayden (verified owner) –
he would cover all possible silly reactions that could derail my well-thought opening, and how to deal with them
Ryker (verified owner) –
At this level this course covers a sweet spot.
Tyler (verified owner) –
I’ve only reviewed all the black lines but I am liking the author’s approach of adding exercises after each chapter to make sure you are looking at the positions themselves rather than just routinely memorizing the lines without absorbing the content of his commentary.
Julian (verified owner) –
I’m still a fairly new adult learner and have looked at all the major courses and finally feel like I have an option that makes sense for my level and available time.
