Launch your blitz rating to new heights with Secret Blitz Weapons: The Damiano Petroff! This crafty repertoire gives you intuitive play to secure a time advantage. Then unleashes a barrage of opening surprises to swing the balance to your favor.

Your instructor for this course is speed chess expert FIDE Master Kamil Plichta.

Plichta has over 100 tournament victories — including a third-place finish at the 2019 Polish Rapid Championship and a second place at the 2018 Polish Rapid Championship. And he’s also a certified super-grandmaster slayer… as Hikaru Nakamura and Vladislav Artemiev learned the hard way.

Today, Plichta draws from his hard-won experience to show you how to…

Turn The Clock Into Your Ally And Use The Opponent’s Bias Against Them

In blitz, your time management and mental game are as critical to victory as the strength of your move. Which is why Secret Blitz Weapons: The Damiano Petroff focuses on “milking” these practical advantages.

At the core of this repertoire is the devious Damiano Petroff — 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 Nxe4!? 4.Qe2 Qe7 — which has been considered dubious for centuries.

Yet it’s this exact variation which catapulted Plichta’s online blitz rating to 2788… Plichta loves the opening, and here are four reasons why you’ll love it, too:

???? Takes advantage of the opponent’s bias. Watch them scoff at your “busted” opening — only for your hyperactive pieces to wipe the smug off their faces. Best part? The Damiano Petroff’s steam doesn’t run out after the exchange of queens!

???? Intuitive play that saves you time. Build your opening know-how through 295 trainable variations and 16 hours of video. Every variation also comes with strategy and planning pointers. So you can find the right moves in seconds, while your opponent struggles with the ticking clock.

???? Cutting-edge prep with real impact. Plichta not only built the repertoire using the latest chess engines. His analysis also prioritized the most popular moves you will encounter in blitz and rapid.

???? And… sound enough for slower time controls. The first player must tread a thin line to come out unscathed. And even then, you’ll come out with a symmetrical position with equal material and plenty of active play!

Now, there’s more to 1.e4 than just the Petroff Defense. Which is why the repertoire also takes on club favorites and rare sidelines, like the:

???? Four Knights Game
???? Vienna Game
???? Bishop’s Opening
???? King’s Gambit
???? Center Game
???? Plus other second move alternatives

And to foster that “altogether” feeling in the course, Plichta stuck to his strategy... of exploiting the position and the clock to whip up practical winning chances.
