What a way to start the game!
Wild and aggressive, the mythical Black Lion is the opening of your dreams.
But it is real, it is here and this vicious, exciting counter-attack is a nightmare to play against.
GM Simon Williams, aka the GingerGM, presents the roarsome opening that blew his mind – a “new” discovery that made him question his own chess knowledge.
1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 [And now it’s your choice: either] …Nbd7 [The Risky Lion, or] …e5 [The Tame Lion]
The popular YouTube streamer hadn’t even heard of the Black Lion until a follower started messaging him about it, repeatedly.
YOU decide your level of risk
Simon presents two alternatives in his Black Lion repertoire: one for the faint-hearted, one not for the faint-hearted.
⬜ Option 1 is The Risky Lion – Simon’s recommendation for fast, aggressive chess right from move one.
⬜ Option 2 is The Tame Lion – Simon’s calmer alternative for safer games, but you will still be on the prowl.
AND there is a QuickStarter Guide to get you up and running fast.
How could he have not heard of this opening? Surely it must be rubbish if a Grandmaster had never heard of it?
So Simon looked into it and found his follower was right: this was a brilliant opening that has gone completely under the radar.
Imagine that – a sound yet extremely aggressive opening that barely anyone knows. Well, now you don’t have to imagine it because the myth has become a reality!
Fight White tooth and claw!
The Black Lion avoids castling and aims to checkmate White on the Kingside from the get-go. You are a predator and you are on the hunt.
Simon set himself three aims when drafting this course:
âš« To teach you a fun and exciting opening;
âš« Explain main ideas in an enjoyable way you’ll remember;
âš« Be as truthful as possible about positions and avoid bias.
As always, the Ginger GM explains everything in a way you will remember.
Get your teeth into this and you will be tearing into opponents
Be the King of the Jungle, be top of the food chain! Harness the power of the Black Lion!

Now that I don’t need to invest much energy in the opening phase, I can concentrate on improving my middle and endgame play.
Max (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.
Patrick (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.
