Discover the practical opening ideas successful players are actually using - and increase your win rate against your typical opponents in ~10 minutes instead of ~10 hours.
IÂ explored thousands of Grandmaster chess games to find the most effective opening tricks for White and Black in 2026.

And yes, you get a playable position even if the opponent plays the best moves!Â
I've included tricks that have won me major tournaments (including the Australian Championship title - twice) and tricks that I've fallen into in the past - painful lessons that you can now learn the easy way.Â
Here's what you'll be getting when you join today:
Â
- 50 Powerful Opening Tricks For 2026 (Value: $697)
Carefully selected shortcuts across the Sicilian Defence, Open Games, Semi-Open Games, Queen's Gambit, Indian Defences and Other Systems. Each trick is explained clearly and concisely, and designed to win you points immediately.
I have caught out many strong players with these tricks, and even fallen into many of them myself - and you can start playing each trick successfully in just 10 minutes.Â
 - Deep Dive PGN Files Of Every Trick (Value: $297)Â
Go deeper into the tricks to remember the key points, absorb deeper ideas and know how to convert your advantage into a win through GM-selected model games.
The 'secret' to understanding chess deeply is through playing through a lot of top-level games, and my files give you the volume to go with the targeted video training that will see you playing from long-term memory in your games - rather than short-term memory the way everyone else does.Â
Â
- BONUS: Best Grandmaster Miniatures Of 2026 (Value: $197)
Discover the top 10 miniatures of 2026, all games where Grandmasters lost in just 25 moves or less!
I focused on punishing opening mistakes for three months to go from a 2000 FIDE player off the back of a horrible 2007 Australian Juniors, to holding my own against 2200s at the 2007 Sydney International Open, and becoming the youngest ever winner of the Norths Club Championship.Â
Â
- BONUS: Opening Surveys Of Winning Weapons In 2026! (Value: $97)
Discover fresh opening weapons to set practical problems for your opponents with these deeper opening surveys! Currently includes a repertoire for White on the 2...d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Qxd4 Sicilian, with more surveys to come later in the month!
For those of you who like depth without being overwhelmed by impractical engine lines, you'll be right at home here.Â
Note that the value of this will increase as I add more surveys.Â
 - The 10 Best Chess Openings In 2026 (Value: $497)Â
Discover the 10 openings (5 for white, 5 for black) giving the best results at the Grandmaster level in 2026! Detailed annotated PGNs on each of the 10 openings (with many model games per opening) show you not just how to play the opening well, but how to win with them against strong opponents.Â
I played through thousands of Grandmaster games to draw these conclusions, and analyzed each of these openings deeply with modern engines to back up the statistical evidence. As someone eager to improve at chess, you deserve serious data and new, playable approaches to old openings, not 'memorize the top lines of the engine' like nearly everyone else is trying to do. - BONUS: The Best Openings To Play At Each Rating (Value: $297)
Discover the best openings to play at each rating level, based on 25+ years of experience and statistics from many billions of online chess games.Â
Normally I charge $297 for these insights, but I've included them as a bonus in this course because you deserve to know what works at your level, based on hard data. Especially when nearly everyone else is trying to convince you 'their opening' is the best one based on generalities like 'active play' and 'clear plans' that sell well, but aren't among the deciding factors over the board. -  BONUS: 80 Winning Opening Traps (Value: $497)
Discover 80 Opening Traps that give a huge advantage for White or an early advantage for Black when unleashed. These won't just help you win more games against your usual opponents, but will also ensure you don't fall into these traps yourself!Â
This is the original course content from many years ago, which helped 32 students improve their openings and their results through getting a lot better at punishing their opponent's typical mistakes. The only reason I don't value it higher is because the production quality is a lot better for the other sections of this course (that I recorded in 2026).Â
