Unlock the Power of the Triceratops System Mp4 Version

The setup 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Nbd2, inspired by some lines Black uses to counter the white kingside fianchetto, is neither new nor overly impressive at first glance. White simply aims to develop solidly and delay the real battle to the middlegame. However, by incorporating a quick b2-b4, White not only seizes space, but limits Black’s active possibilities during the opening phase. While Black may attempt to generate play, these efforts often fizzle out, resulting in a solid and controlled game for White. In this video course, we explore the three primary responses Black might employ, and demonstrate how White can counter them effectively to gain a slight advantage in the early middlegame. The Triceratops system is an ancient and dependable strategy, requiring White to prepare for only three potential reactions from Black—significantly less work compared to preparing for the Grünfeld and King’s Indian defences. We hope you enjoy this course and consider adding the Triceratops system to your opening repertoire!”
