Lifetime Repertoires: 1. b3 By GM adibhan Bhaskaran

Break Free From Limiting Rules
And Take Complete Control Of
Your Game With 1.b3!

If you’d love turn up the positional pressure and take your opponent out of book from move one…while having fun breaking the rules, then we’ve got game-changing news for you.

Here’s what’s up:

One of India’s brightest chess stars Grandmaster Baskaran Adhiban just made his debut as a Chessable author.

Fans all over the world love his highly tactical and aggressive playing style, which…not only earned him the nickname “The Beast”…but also brought him the 2008 World Under-16 and the 2009 Indian Championships.

More importantly for you, though, GM Adhiban is also a maverick.

He just loves to mix up his openings against the world’s elite. Attack Wesley So’s 1…e5 with the King’s Gambit? Been there. Pin Magnus Carlsen against the ropes with the Scandinavian? Done that.

In his latest experiment, GM Adhiban took an opening which is played only once out of 250 games, and turned it into a fighting Lifetime Repertoire that…

Turns Time-Tested Opening Principles
On Their Heads!

We’ve all been told to “play for the center.”

That’s why most players start with 1.d4 and 1.e4, trying to build a stronghold as quickly as possible.

But with a great pawn center comes great defensive responsibilty. If you can’t pull your structure together, you’re gonna have a bad time!

Lifetime Repertoires: 1.b3 sidesteps this burden by holding back your d- and e-pawns…while also preparing to fianchetto your c1-bishop and set the long diagonal on fire.

Let Black own the critical part of the board for a few moves. Because after they reveal their hand, you will strike back with your central pawns.

Only this time, breaking through packs more punch, because your well-placed pieces (especially the b2-bishop) give your pawns an extra boost.

We just give Black the centre, and a false sense of security…only to take all of it back with interest at the right time!

And here’s the icing:

Since only 0.4% of games start with “pawn to b3,” most people simply ignore it when preparing.

You can bet that the player across the table (and their favorite repertoire book or DVD) are severely under-prepared…while you come to the board with Adhiban-approved strategies, including how to:

🎯 Bring Black’s central takeover (after 1…e5 or 1…c5) to a grinding halt. After 3.c4…which puts the d5-square under your firm control…you’re ready to blow up the center and unleash the beast on b2 with d2-d4.

🎯 Baffle 1…b6 copycats with 2.e4. Your lightning-fast development all but guarantees you excellent attacking chances against the enemy king, even after the exchange of queens.

🎯 Outpace g6-setups with the double fianchetto. Snowball your extra tempo into a massive phalanx of pawns, while your bishops provide support from a safe distance.

🎯 Shake up the Reversed London System by harassing the f5-bishop. Let Black try their best. After 4.Nh4, you’ll come out with unassailable snipers on b2 and g2 or get an unshakable structural advantage anyway.

And many more.

As you’d expect from a Lifetime Repertoire, it covers nearly everything Black can play against 1.b3. It’s a beefy course, with 716 trainable variations and over 12 hours of video instruction. But…

Thanks to the Quickstarter Guide, you can start playing and winning with 1.b3 in as little as two hours.

Plus, GM Adhiban also included 11 model games and 30 quick wins by himself. So you can watch the heroes of 1.b3 in action, and make their point-getting tactics and strategies your own.

Chess is a lot more fun when your very first move disarms Black’s prep, and ensures a fighting game you’re primed to WIN.
