Are you tired of studying complicated computer lines in Gruenfeld and King’s Indian Defence? Would you like to play an anti-computer system that is entirely based on the understanding of the pawn structures? GM Papaioannou is here to teach one of his favourite systems – Torre Attack. In this workshop, he provides in-depth knowledge of the typical pawn structures as well as expert-level theoretical preparation. 

Now, we shall take a look at the different lectures.

Typical Structure 1 – Setups with …d7-d6

The workshop starts with an in-depth examination of the structures based on …d7-d6.

You will get this structure when you play against King’s Indian players. Torre Attack is very annoying for the fans of the KID. If White knows what he is doing, Black cannot display any dynamic play. Actually, GM Papaioannou shows setups where White gets a slight edge without the need to know any concrete theory. In the arising positions, the understanding of the typical plans and ideas is far more important than the theoretical knowledge.

The section featuring the structures with …d7-d6 consists of 10 model games.
