Dare to Be Different
A Unique Opening System That Works against Almost Everything White Plays

If you're just starting out and want something attacking, offbeat, and solid at the same time - this is the opening course for you - and it's something different that few beginners are taught

And it works against nearly everything White plays. That's right 1.e4, 1.d4, 1.c4, even the London and Colle systems and 1.b3 - this will fight it. That means you cut down on study time and can focus on playing exciting and attacking chess. With only 64 variations, it's ultra-lightweight!

Counterblow: A Complete Fighting Repertoire for Beginners by National Master Robert Ramirez takes a hypermodern approach to your repertoire with the Black pieces in just 64 lines.

Instead of trying to control the center with pawns like most are taught, you control it with pieces and later wreck White’s center with a counterblow.

What does this give you?

💥Active and fighting play - fianchetto your bishops and have them control the center as you dominate the board

💥Fun battles giving you some exciting early wins- playing aggressively is fun, and beginners are unlikely to know how to play against your setup, netting you points

💥A system that works for Black against everything - play it against the King's Pawn Opening, Queen's Pawn Opening, The English, and even other systems like the London

💥A combination of a fierce weapon with an undervalued tool - this system combines the King's Indian Defense (against 1.d4 and similar), a weapon known for potent attacking potential, with the Pirc Defense (against 1.e4), an opening your opponents will not be well-prepared against!

An Opening That Can Take You from Beginner to Master

Author NM Robert Ramirez's story is relatable. He began learning to play at 12 and was told he was too late to become a serious competitor.

He stuck with the game though, and developed his own style - the hypermodern style featured in this course. He credits this system as taking him all the way to master level, without hardly having to memorize a thing.

He's participated in prestigious tournaments such as the World Open Chess Tournament and the Pan American Intercollegiate Team Championships.

And he's highly respected as an instructor. One of his students even achieved a national championship under Ramirez’ tutelage!
