Shut Down 1.c4’s Move Order Tricks
And Copy Your Way To Opening Success
If you’d love to give the English a dose of its own medicine…and enjoy ambitious yet airtight positions out of the opening, then you will love International Master David Vigorito’s counter to 1.c4.
Most chess improvers know IM Vigorito as a highly experienced author and trainer. But he is also a tournament veteran and a multiple-time state champion. One who knows the English like the back of his hand, because he plays it himself!
And his recommended antidote when facing his favorite opening:
Play The Symmetrical Variation
The idea is simple: the English is one of the most versatile and positionally aggressive openings for White. So let’s copy it as Black!
With 1…c5, you enjoy the same flexibility White has, while instantly neutralizing dangerous transpositions to 1.d4 (cutting down your study time).
But the best part: IM Vigorito shows you when exactly to break symmetry…so you can capitalize on the “holes” of White’s chosen setup.
Inside Lifetime Repertoires: Symmetrical English, you will learn how to:
🎯 Ruin auto-pilot play with the Reversed Botvinnik, where you control the lion’s share of the center and get to play wherever you like on the board.
🎯 Undermine the Maroczy Bind, and turn it into Maroczy Fail. David shows you how to break down your opponent’s center into a sitting duck for your hyper-active pieces.
🎯 Make White’s extra move in the Reversed Tarrasch into a dud, while you keep mounting pressure on d4 ’til it breaks.
🎯 Meet the Four Knights Variation with multi-purpose attacking moves, forcing the opponent to cover up and defend…while your pieces burst into action.
🎯 Transposition tricks and smart move orders. All of which quickly equalize in the short run, and give you plenty of winning chances as the game progresses.
PLUS many more!
This Lifetime Repertoire covers just about everything White can play after 1.c4, with over 500 engine-checked variations and 16-plus hours of video. But you need not comb through the entire lot to start racking up points…
Thanks to the Quickstarter Guide and its 30 core variations, you can start playing and winning with the Symmetrical English in the shortest time humanly possible.

Zane (verified owner) –
Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
Daniel (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.
Chelsi (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.
Matthew (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
Camden (verified owner) –
keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Kayden (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.
David (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.
Ryker (verified owner) –
In two recent wins, my opponents failed to follow the golden rules, making it easy for me to win the games.
Angeline (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.
Anthony (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,
Henry (verified owner) –
Wonderfully Structured and Organized Course
Bryan (verified owner) –
At this level this course covers a sweet spot.
James (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
Ryan (verified owner) –
he would cover all possible silly reactions that could derail my well-thought opening, and how to deal with them
Angel (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.
Robert (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,
Max (verified owner) –
Really good course
Kai (verified owner) –
I think many of these reviewers forget what it was like to be a beginner, or a casual player.
Gempita (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.
Lucas (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.
Samuel (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).
Joi Hua Ta (verified owner) –
I bought this course with video few weeks ago (thanks to @JRHat for recommending it to me).
Porse (verified owner) –
Even when one of my opponents didn’t follow theory, which often happens with beginners,
Mason (verified owner) –
Even above beginner level, knowing the first ten moves is usually sufficient, and the variations in this course average nine moves.
Hayden (verified owner) –
Some courses handled the opening principles nicely
Supritno (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.
Mateo (verified owner) –
keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Kevin (verified owner) –
In two recent wins, my opponents failed to follow the golden rules, making it easy for me to win the games.
