A Sly Approach to the Slav
Underneath the sheath of armor the Slav Defense provides Black against 1.d4 lies the opportunity to unleash forceful attacks.
Without ever straying away from the Slav’s sturdy setup, Grandmaster Erwin L’Ami has developed a comprehensive and attacking repertoire for Black with Lifetime Repertoires: Slav.
It’s the fullest and most comprehensive course ever released on the Slav Defense.
The base of your attacks is the Classical Slav (1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 dxc4), known for its durability. Your solid position will be a trojan horse for White, as they’ll think you’re after a calm game when really it’s a fight you’re after.
At the center of it all, you’ll play subtle moves that seemingly give White everything they want but drag them into a tactical skirmish they’re favored to lose.
Here are some ways you can outwit your opponent:
💥Sacrifice a piece in the Krause Attack (6.Ne5) – play …e6 and make White think they can achieve their central goals, only to sacrifice your bishop (or knight!) and play forcing moves that bring them right out in the open
💥Allow White to take your bishop on f5 in the Dutch Variation (6.e3) – splitting your pawns will prove to be no problem as you’ll have a great outpost for your knight on e4 along with the half-open file giving you nice attacking chances
💥Engineer a scenario of good knight/bad bishop for yourself in the Slow Slav – and make White regret going for a quiet game
💥Learn to be patient in the Exchange Slav– and give up the bishop pair voluntarily to get superior light-square play or win a tempo on Black’s early dark-square bishop excursions
💥Be covered against all viable tries by White – get remedies for the Geller Gambit, the Bled Attack, and the Catalan-esque 5.g3 Slav
💥Get a full repertoire against 1.d4 – and stay ahead of opponents against the London System, the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, the Torre Attack, and the Psuedo-Trompowsky
Another edition of opening expertise
Author Grandmaster Erwin L’Ami has put together another fine example of top opening preparation, as he’s done on so many occasions prior.
His courses all have rave reviews, and he’s a definite fan-favorite in the Chessable community, as evidenced by his Lifetime Repertoires: Caro-Kann.
L’Ami is one of the world’s leading theoreticians, a veteran Olympiad player, and a trusted coach of world champion contenders due to his scientific examination of openings.
But he’s by no means taken a backseat to competing; he’s still actively playing at the top level with standard, blitz, and rapid ratings all over 2600!
You can find all this work and dedication on display in Lifetime Repertoires: Slav.

Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
Bambang (verified owner) –
keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Daniel (verified owner) –
Even when one of my opponents didn’t follow theory, which often happens with beginners,
Joi Hua Ta (verified owner) –
Decent course. Compared to his other courses, this course is relatively simple and faster to learn. Probably the nature of Grunfeld opening itself could be a reason.
Ryder (verified owner) –
he would cover all possible silly reactions that could derail my well-thought opening, and how to deal with them
Gempita (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.
Lucas (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,
Steven William (verified owner) –
Even above beginner level, knowing the first ten moves is usually sufficient, and the variations in this course average nine moves.
Paul (verified owner) –
I bought this course with video few weeks ago (thanks to @JRHat for recommending it to me).
Zane (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,
Tyler (verified owner) –
Some courses handled the opening principles nicely
Ang Tu Yua (verified owner) –
I think many of these reviewers forget what it was like to be a beginner, or a casual player.
Porse (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.
Nolan (verified owner) –
Really good course
Agus (verified owner) –
In two recent wins, my opponents failed to follow the golden rules, making it easy for me to win the games.
Riley (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
Kayden (verified owner) –
Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
John (verified owner) –
At this level this course covers a sweet spot.
Cherline (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.
Mason (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.
Nathaniel (verified owner) –
Wonderfully Structured and Organized Course
Patrick (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).
Kim Jin Un (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.
David (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.
