What is GM Sethuraman S.P Lifetime Repertoires – Sethuraman’s 1.e4 Part 2 for Cheap?
The mission to counter every Black response to 1.e4 presses on! In this installment of his complete 1.e4 repertoire, Grandmaster S.P. Sethuraman shows you how to tackle the most challenging defenses Black can play against your 1.e4: the Sicilian, French, and Caro-Kann.
If you haven’t already, check out Part 1 of the course which covers a slew of Black’s other defenses, including the Scandinavian, Petroff, Alekhine’s Defense, and more.
Shut Down the Sicilian in Any Variation Black Plays
By now, you’re probably well acquainted with the beauty of 1.e4. White can achieve aggressive, open positions and play for a win (Bobby Fischer did say it was “best by test”!)
And with GM Sethuraman’s repertoire, you’ll keep it that way. No quiet, drawish anti-Sicilian lines here – against 1…c5, we’re going to war with an Open Sicilian repertoire that goes for the full point.
Black has a variety of options in the open Sicilian to challenge White, but with this course, you’ll have the tools to counter anything Black can throw at you. You’ll be able to outplay him not only the tournament variations, but all those annoying pet variations, too:
♟Najdorf – play fearlessly in all the main lines with 6.Bg5
♟Dragon – learn to put out Black’s fire with the Maroczy Bind (c4 and e4 dominating the center)
♟Classical Sicilian – make Black walk the tightrope in the Richter-Rauzer Attack (6. Bg5)
♟Sveshnikov and Kalashnikov – redirect every trick Black throws at you in the so-called “Dirty Harry” Sicilian and its evil relatives
♟Taimanov and Scheveningen – knock Black off his chair with the Keres Attack (6. g4!)
♟Fight off less common variations such as the Four Knights, Paulsen, and Grivas Sicilians
♟Stomp the Nimzowitsch (2…Nf6), O’Kelly (2…a6), and other sidelines
Fry the French with 3. Nc3
There are many ways to fight the French, but you’ll employ the most vicious: 3. Nc3. Black can take 3. Nc3 in a few directions, but if you take GM Sethuraman’s advice, all roads will lead to victory.
♟Classical Variation (3…Nf6) – you’ll have fun raiding White’s kingside from the get-go with the Steinitz Variation (4. e5, followed by a quick f4)
♟Winawer Variation (3…Bb4) – Black will struggle to develop ‘normally’ with the disruptive lines you’ll employ, whether he chops the knight on c3 or not
♟Rubinstein Variation (3…dxe4, followed by …Nd7, …Ngf6) – deny Black the draw he desires in this variation with simple yet effective attacking setups on the kingside
Crush the Caro-Kann with the Tal Variation
Black often hopes for a quiet, maneuvering game with the Caro-Kann, but with the Tal Variation in the Advance (3. e5 Bf5 4. h4!), you’ll dash those hopes quickly.
The Tal Variation is less common than other tries for White, and you’ll get a nice element of surprise against your opponent. The variation definitely lives up to its namesake by embodying the all-out attacking nature of the 8th world champion.
And if Black gets combative with 3…c5? You’ll deny Black of the anticipated 4. dxc5 and play the calm 4. Nf3. You’ll keep the sword sheathed early on, but trust that GM Sethuraman will show you how to follow up with a smart attack.
Complete Your 1.e4 Repertoire
After taking this course, you’ll have a complete 1.e4 repertoire you can use for a lifetime. With GM Sethuraman’s easy-to-follow explanations, you’ll be able to roast your opponents regularly just like he does.
