The Dynamic 1. Nc3 – A Unique Repertoire by IM Lawrence Trent

Take Your Opponent into Uncharted Waters from Move 1 with this Cutting-Edge Repertoire for White

Your opponent will certainly be prepared for 1.e4 and 1.d4.

They’ll probably be prepared for 1.c4 and 1.Nf3 – and maybe even 1.b3 and 1.f4 too.

But are they ready to take on a fully-developed and highly dynamic repertoire based on 1.Nc3?

With what’s inside this repertoire, not a chance!

International Master Lawrence Trent returns to Chessable with an avant-garde repertoire packed with fresh novelties in some of the most interesting and dynamic variations you’ll ever play.

The speed chess specialist and former British youth champion has a skill for taking seemingly offbeat openings and transforming them into strikingly effective and practical attacking repertoires – and he’s done it once again.

This complete 1.Nc3 repertoire – The Modern Queen’s Knight Attack – has everything you need to take Black into the wild frontier and bamboozle them right out of the gate. You’ll get:

♞ A response to virtually every critical first move Black can play. In unchartered territory, your opponent will often try to steer the game into something they know with “French” (1…e6), “Sicilian” (1…c5) or other such moves – you’ll learn how to keep the game out of those ‘safe havens’ and have Black on their toes all throughout the opening

♞ Devious novelties against Black’s most critical responses, 1…d5 and 1…e5. In the event Black does actually know something about 1.Nc3, you’ll have stunning novelties in store for what once were known as “main lines”

♞ Strategic walkthroughs in each variation. Because this is cutting-edge territory, IM Trent is careful to show the next steps and plans in each variation – and give model games showing how top pros have navigated similar situations. The video option is golden for IM Trent’s eloquent explanations and insights – they don’t call him “The Voice of Chess” for nothing!

Perhaps the craziest part of this repertoire: all the wild attacking ideas are engine-checked and approved. So not only will you get a full White repertoire that comes with a huge practical advantage, you’ll be solid even if Black manages to navigate the opening.

If you’re looking to take your opponent’s opening prep out of the equation and come out punching straight out of the gate, The Dynamic 1.Nc3 is your repertoire.
