COUPON: SPRING30

The Semi-Slav answers 1.d4 with the classical 1…d5, then builds a stronghold in the center with 2…c6, 3…Nf6, and 3…e6.

The Semi-Slav’s solid center gives you
many ways to generate play

You have many ways to develop your pieces, and stir up counterplay from this rock-solid start.

And in Lifetime Repertoires: Semi-Slav, Shankland strikes a balance between ease and ambition to give you a system you can play for life.

Make no mistake:

Shankland never backs down from sharp tactics when they’re necessary.

But in situations where choices are many, he went for strategic and less theoretical variations, which are always playable. So you can follow a clear path to equality — and eventually gain the upper hand — without needing to follow the latest analysis.

On top of Shankland’s practical move selection, you’ll also get 14.5 hours of video — which lay down the ideas behind the already-intuitive variations.

Shankland’s smart approach has already paid huge dividends for many Chessablers.

Like Jan Kunc’s 38-move demolition job at the 28th Klatovy Open…

Mark Carroll’s calm defense against a London System expert rated 256 points higher…

And then there’s Alexander Yatsyshin who followed the analysis in chapter 10 to dodge a bullet, and force resignation in less than 25 moves.

Lifetime Repertoires: Semi-Slav covers just about any opening White can play after 1.d4 d5, including:

💎 The Queen’s Gambit
💎 Rare but tricky sidelines
💎 Veresov, London and Exchange Slav
💎 All 4th and 5th move deviations
💎 The Delayed and Open Meran
💎 And more

And here’s the icing:

Shankland regularly updates the course and responds to user questions. So that you and the Semi-Slav are…
