1.d4 expert and 2018 US champion Sam Shankland shows you how to...

Dominate The Center And Push 1...Nf6 Against The Ropes With Controlled Positional Aggression

If you're itching to show Black's 1...Nf6 who's boss, then you'll love part two of Grandmaster Sam Shankland's 1.d4 Lifetime Repertoire.

You won't find flashy variations that fizzle out to a draw nor "single-use" sidelines inside this course. Instead, you'll learn how to tip the game in your favor through principled, strategic, and aggressive chess.

With Sam's guidance, Black's task of holding you back becomes near-impossible... while you enjoy more space, a better structure, the bishop pair - or even a decisive attack out of the opening!

Inside This Lifetime Repertoire, You'll Learn How To:

? Build an imposing center against the Gruenfeld, while denying early exchanges to keep it cramped. (Black doesn't even get their usual ...Nd5xc3.)

? Imprison the queenside pieces in the Queen's Indian Defense, and grip the light-squares with a well-timed d4-d5.

? Choke the life out of the King's Indian Defense. With Sam's chosen system, you secure a favorable structure you can milk all game long.

? Strip the Bogo-Indian Defense of control and activity, while cranking up your pawn storm into overdrive.

? Run away with a healthy extra pawn against the Blumenfeld Gambit. Black will try their hardest to build a phalanx, only to see their formation dismantled with e3-e4.

And many more!

But GM Shankland doesn't just show you openings; he also teaches you how to play better chess.

Over 480 trainable variations and 13 hours of video explain the critical objectives, plans, and maneuvers. So even if the game strays away from theory, your strategic know-how can lead you to an advantage.

Plus, with 41 Quickstarter variations covering the most popular move orders, you can start playing GM Shankland's 1.d4 repertoire in just a few hours.
