A Swedish Chess Champ’s
3-Compartment Toolbox for Picking
Apart White’s Flank Openings
If you already answer 1.d4 with 1…d5…
If you want a reliable and familiar way to meet 1.c4, 1.Nf3, 1.b3 and other flank openings…
Where the thematic tactics, piece maneuvers, and pawn breaks “feel like home” regardless of White’s move order…
Then enter The Grand Toolbox: Fighting Flank Openings.
It’s a complete Black repertoire against White’s flank openings. One which aims for the standard setups and strategic ideas in your 1.d4 d5 lines. So you can skyrocket your results as Black, minus the steep learning curve.
To achieve this level of flexibility, author Grandmaster Nils Grandelius divides the repertoire into 3 compartments.
One based on the Queen’s Gambit Declined with …e6. Another based on the Slav with …c6 — while the third combines the best of both worlds.
From this “toolbox,” you can pick the anti-flank opening lines which…
Suit Your Existing “Double Queen’s Pawn”
Repertoire Like A Glove
Let’s say you’re preparing against the Reti Opening.
If you love the light-square control of the Slav, then go to chapter 6 of the repertoire.
Here, Grandelius meets the Reti by capturing the pawn on c4 followed by …e7-e6 — planting knights on f6 and d7— and developing the bishops to d6 and b7.
Slav-style light-square lock-out vs the Reti
If you enjoy the ambitious queenside attack of the Queen’s Gambit Declined, then head over to chapter 13…
Where Grandelius counters the same Reti Opening with a well-known queenside expansion.
The pawns advance to …a6, …b5, and …c5 to gain space, while the light-squared bishop takes control of the important a8-h1 diagonal.
QGD-style queenside expansion vs the Reti
With The Grand Toolbox, rest assured you’re meeting any flank opening with the right “tool.” One you’re well-versed in using.
But perhaps the best part about this course is that:
Grandelius is your instructor.
He’s the 2015 Swedish champion… a peak-2694-rated GM… and a creative attacker whose games are a pleasure to watch.
As a Chessable author, he’s famous for recommending “under the radar” fighting lines he plays himself.
So while you’re heading for familiar setups in The Grand Toolbox… the way you get there will surprise and heap tremendous pressure on your opponents!
Check out Grandelius’ plan against the English Opening in chapter 11. Here, he intentionally avoids boring equality…
The Grand Toolbox vs The English:
No to …c7-c5 and boring equality!
So he can keep the pieces on the board, and attack the enemy king!
By avoiding mass exchanges, Grandelius turns
his piece activity into a decisive attack
vs a 2500-rated GM
His choice against the King’s Indian Attack on chapter 7 will also shock many opponents! It “forces” White to choose between giving up the center, or playing in your turf.
Grandelius’ 2…Nd7!? compels White to change plans,
while you enjoy an impregnable center
Plus, you’ll also be given 2 counters against the notorious Nimzo-Larsen Attack — including the fresh 2…Bg4!? which lures White into overextension.
Permanently weaken White’s squares and pawns
with the provocative 2…Bg4!?
That’s only a sneak peek.
Just about every reasonable flank opening by White is covered by The Grand Toolbox. All 9 of them.
🏆 From the English Opening (1.c4), Reti (1.Nf3), and transpositions to d4-setups
🏆 The rare Nimzo-Larsen Attack (1.b3), Bird’s Opening (1.f4), and Orangutan’s Opening (1.b4)
🏆 To the outrageous Grob (1.g4), Van Geet’s Opening (1.Nc3), and the generic 1.e3
Rest assured you’ll be ready to dismantle any flank opening by White… in the way that feels most natural to you.
Then after learning your initial choice — the QGD-style or the Slav-style lines — the rest of the repertoire gives you a ready-made expansion kit.
So you can switch systems to surprise opponents, and gain a bigger practical advantage.

Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
Ryder (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,
William (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.
Putri Nuraisyah (verified owner) –
I have tried a few free and paid repertoire courses but I continued to face a challenge with them
Putri Lovely (verified owner) –
In two recent wins, my opponents failed to follow the golden rules, making it easy for me to win the games.
Bambang (verified owner) –
I bought this course with video few weeks ago (thanks to @JRHat for recommending it to me).
Angeline (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.
Charles (verified owner) –
keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Agus (verified owner) –
I think many of these reviewers forget what it was like to be a beginner, or a casual player.
Kim Jin Un (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.
Oktavia (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
