FM Yuriy Krykun Presents…
The Complete, “Low-Theory” Repertoire for Black against 1.e4!
1.e4 is the most popular first move in chess.
The chances are, you’ll see 1.e4 in nearly half of your games with Black!
Sure, you can respond with 1…e5, Sicilian, Caro-Kann, or French… but learning all these lines and variations would turn out very time consuming and tedious.
We are all busy, who has MONTHS to hit the books and learn a bunch of opening theory?
Well, FM Yuriy Krykun has just finished Fighting 1.e4: The Complete Repertoire for Black with a ‘heavy’ emphasis on practicality and simplicity. No need to memorize the mainline theory for the lines you’ll likely never face in your entire chess life!
Instead, FM Krykun gives you 2 full repertoires against 1.e4 based on Czech Pirc and a very special setup in Alekhine’s Defense!

What do you get?
It is a practical repertoire. We won’t be chasing 100% computer approval with 0.00 evaluation in every line.
This is NOT a repertoire to play against the best engines or super-GMs. It is a preparation to get a sizable edge against most under 2200 FIDE opponents… they’ll have no idea how to play those positions with White!
Here is what you’ll learn:
- GM Memedyarov’s strong surprise weapon for Black against White’s mainline in Czech Pirc
- Magnus Carlsen’s sneaky move order in Alekhine’s Defense to cut down the INSANE amount of theory and avoid White’s most dangerous responses
- The choice of two systems in Alekhine’s Defense and when to use each one?
- How to reduce White’s possibilities in Czech Pirc, steering the game towards the positions YOU want?
- Powerful antidots against the sidelines and off-beat variations in both Czech Pirc and Alekhine’s Defense

At this level this course covers a sweet spot.
Cherline (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,
Aadarsh (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.
Matthew (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.
Ryker (verified owner) –
Now that I don’t need to invest much energy in the opening phase, I can concentrate on improving my middle and endgame play.
Patrick (verified owner) –
Even when one of my opponents didn’t follow theory, which often happens with beginners,
Porse (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.
Liam (verified owner) –
I bought this course with video few weeks ago (thanks to @JRHat for recommending it to me).
Henry (verified owner) –
Really good course
Kaden Arabic (verified owner) –
he would cover all possible silly reactions that could derail my well-thought opening, and how to deal with them
Ang Tu Yua (verified owner) –
Wonderfully Structured and Organized Course
Jhony (verified owner) –
I appreciate the effort gone into it. It’s helped me become better at my openings and I’m looking forward to what he has next in store. Cheers.
Dominic (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.
Angeline (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,
Julian (verified owner) –
Some courses handled the opening principles nicely
Isaac (verified owner) –
Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out

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,
Chelsi (verified owner) –
Even above beginner level, knowing the first ten moves is usually sufficient, and the variations in this course average nine moves.
Dylan (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
Joi Hua Ta (verified owner) –
I would never recommend this book to anybody that I would consider a beginner, and maybe not even a “casual” player (depending on the definition).
Bryan (verified owner) –
keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Yunis (verified owner) –
I think many of these reviewers forget what it was like to be a beginner, or a casual player.
