An Easily Learned and Effective Queen’s Pawn Repertoire
The favorite first move of Capablanca, Botvinnik, Kramnik, and Duda, 1.d4 is an opening preferred by the world’s most solid, positional players.
And if you’re looking to play like these strategically sound boa constrictors, Grandmaster Adrien Demuth has got the repertoire for you.
This elite coach and opening theoretician knows the recipes for success in the queen’s pawn opening – he’s proven it in numerous chess tournaments in his native France and around the world.
But more importantly for you, he’s made his students successful with it in their own tournaments – namely the French national teams in the Olympiads, European Chess Championships, and World Youth Championships!
What’s in the Repertoire?
Though opening theoretician he may be, this 1.d4 repertoire is not overly theoretical. You will certainly get a proper explanation of the theoretical concepts at play, but GM Demuth does a superb job at breaking down the logic behind theory and ensuring you can reach practical, playable positions easily in your own games.
This repertoire is based on the famously solid yet ambitious Queen’s Gambit, known for giving little concession to Black and still retaining winning chances.
But the repertoire is so comprehensive that it had to be divided into two parts! In Part 1, GM Demuth keeps it classical and presents every opening you’ll encounter after 1…d5. You’ll learn the ins and outs of the:
♛ Queen’s Gambit Declined – this is Black’s most solid response and the bulk of Part 1. You’ll learn not only the mainstream lines like the Exchange Variation, but also sidelines like the increasingly popular Janowski Variation (3…a6)
♛ Queen’s Gambit Accepted – GM Demuth shows you how to punish Black for giving up the center with 2…dxc4 and protect against any tricks he has up his sleeve
♛ Slav Defense – you’ll avoid the elaborate theory of the robust Slav and play a comfortable, practical game with the Exchange Variation. GM Demuth shows you the right timing to fight for an advantage
♛ Tarrasch and Semi-Tarrasch – you’ll learn how to keep calm and put the fire to Black’s feet when he plays 3…c5 (or delays it as in the Semi-Tarrasch), creating tension in the center and often an isolated queen pawn. You’ll also learn to beat the aggressive yet logically destitute Schara-Hennig Gambit (4…cxd4)
♛ Black’s lesson common defenses – in addition to the mainstream tournament openings, GM Demuth has you covered with explanations on how to deal with more clubbish openings, such as the Baltic Defense (2…Bf4), Marshall Defense (2…Nf6), Albin Countergambit (2…e5), Stonewall System (3…f5) and more
With roughly 400 lines, you’ll be booked up and ready to handle anything Black plays after 1…d5. And after Part 2 where you’ll learn the 1…Nf6 openings, you’ll have a complete winning 1.d4 repertoire that will last you for years to come.
Keep it solid, smart, and sound – learn GM Demuth’s repertoire and jumpstart your road to success with 1.d4 today.

Good quality.

Now that I don’t need to invest much energy in the opening phase, I can concentrate on improving my middle and endgame play.
Lucas (verified owner) –
Really good course
Matthew (verified owner) –
In two recent wins, my opponents failed to follow the golden rules, making it easy for me to win the games.
Robert (verified owner) –
keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Chelsi (verified owner) –
I have tried a few free and paid repertoire courses but I continued to face a challenge with them
Henry (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.
Charles (verified owner) –
I bought this course with video few weeks ago (thanks to @JRHat for recommending it to me).
Riley (verified owner) –
Some courses handled the opening principles nicely
Max (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.
Nathaniel (verified owner) –
Even above beginner level, knowing the first ten moves is usually sufficient, and the variations in this course average nine moves.
Tyler (verified owner) –
Wonderfully Structured and Organized Course
Cherline (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.
Julian (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.
Bryan (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.
Oktavia (verified owner) –
Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
Camden (verified owner) –
he would cover all possible silly reactions that could derail my well-thought opening, and how to deal with them
Liam (verified owner) –
At this level this course covers a sweet spot.
