πŸ”₯ WHY THIS COURSE IS A GAME-CHANGER

βœ… Comprehensive & Up-to-Date – You’re learning the best Scandinavian ideas from 2025 & beyond


(I started playing this attacking sideline in 2025, and it's been giving me great positions out of the opening every game against players below 2400). 

βœ… Versatile Repertoire – Choose from multiple Scandinavian setups based on your style


(if White develops quietly, we get a comfortable game following simple plans, with no bad pieces in the middlegame)

βœ… In-Depth Analysis – Understand key ideas, tactical traps, and strategic nuances


(Dubov used this trap to get a winning position vs. Karjakin in just 13 moves; I later used the same trap to catch out a GM in rapid). 

βœ… Proven Success – Learn directly from top-level games & cutting-edge refinements


(Esipenko's key 10...h5! stops the g4/h4-h5 plan, and lets us stabilize with ...Nxe5/...Nd5 for a healthy middlegame). 

βœ… Immediate Practical Application – Apply the ideas right away with model games & PGNs


(In Ye-Damaso, Black sets up an attack on White's king with ...g5!-g4, using the hook on h3 to open lines to White's king)
