But with Grandmaster Sam Shankland as your opening coach…
Facing Black’s anti 1.d4 sidelines becomes a golden opportunity to WIN!
GM Shankland, who brought us the hit repertoire for Black based on the Semi-Slav, now brings us the first ever Lifetime Repertoires for White. Inside the course, he gives you clear-cut ways to take the edge out of Black’s offbeat lines and build a steady advantage.
Shankland and his trusty 1.d4 take on just about every Black sideline
Lifetime Repertoires: Shankland’s 1.d4 vs Sidelines not only shows you the right moves to play. But the course also teaches you a top player’s club-friendly and time-saving approach to winning with 1.d4.
If I believed there was an easy solution that gives a simple, pleasant advantage, I chose that line, no questions asked. – GM Sam Shankland
Don’t let the words easy, simple, and pleasant lull you into thinking that this repertoire is passive.
Shankland’s 1.d4 is as aggressive as a crazed bulldog. Always looking for the next strategic goal to pounce on.
When we’re not seizing territory across the board, we are targeting weaknesses, playing for the bishop pair, or securing strong positions for our pieces.
Make no mistake, though: If a rip-roaring attack is necessary to prove an advantage, count on GM Shankland to cover the most critical lines.
Lifetime Repertoires: Shankland’s 1.d4 vs Sidelines is the first of a three-part opening series for 1.d4 players. By tackling the sidelines on the first opportunity, not only do you get a clean plate for the challenging main lines. But you also bulletproof your game from surprises.
Inside the course, you will find:
👊🏼 Over 350 trainable variations and 11 hours of video-sync instruction that tackle virtually every sideline Black can throw at you. From dubious lines that hand over the center on a silver platter, to the more challenging Modern Benoni, Benko Gambit, and Dutch Defense.
👊🏼 The Quickstarter guide and its 37 key variations give you the foundational knowledge you need to start playing the repertoire in under two hours.
👊🏼 Every line comes with GM Shankland’s objective analysis and tell-all commentary, filling you in on the must-know plans and honing your opening know-how.
👊🏼 Watch and learn how top GMs handle the middlegame in 20 annotated games. Copy their proven strategies and give your overall play a nice boost.
If you’d love to learn a repertoire that maximizes your winning chances AND simplifies your opening study, then this is it.

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.
Paul (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.
John (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).
James (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.
Tyler (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).

At this level this course covers a sweet spot.

Even when one of my opponents didn’t follow theory, which often happens with beginners,

Some courses handled the opening principles nicely
