From the course:

Double Your Chess Improvement

Improve your chess double-time with Grandmaster Michael Roiz. The 1999 Israeli junior champion returns with another repertoire for White. Which shows you proven ways to gain an edge in the opening, and fine-tunes your strategic play.

The Elegant English Part 2 covers all of Black's responses after 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3, except for 2...Nf6 which was covered in the first course of the series. It's the same system in the English where Roiz enjoys an 83% win rate versus club players and 2600-grandmasters.

And just like in part one, Roiz pulled all the stops to deliver an English repertoire which fights for the full point at every opportunity… accelerates your learning curve… and improves your chess beyond the opening.

Harmonious and very easy to remember

"All of the setups are solid, piece coordination is harmonious... and the recommendations are always positionally sound. This makes remembering moves very easy, because they nearly always follow fundamental chess principles. In fact, with this course, I was able to earn the Chessable badge for getting 97% accuracy on 400 moves in a session, and I think I’ll be able to get 100% with more practice."

Count on an edge

"Worth the money, far more than the price. With Roiz, you can count on a small steady advantage. You just need to know the lines, which is great for Chessable reviews."

— Just_An_AMateur


The course’s 135 trainable variations not only contain pinpoint-accurate analysis from Roiz’ opening lab. They also teach you how to…

Combine Solid Positional Technique With Dynamic Piece Play

…two must-have skills which can swing the balance to your favor, no matter the stage of the game.

Against the most precise defense, you’ll play airtight chess to gain a small but lasting pull in the position. But if Black "blinks," then you'll step up the tempo, and pounce on the enemy king when given the chance.

Here's a sneak peek:

🎩 Against an early ...e5-e4 push, you'll cut off the foot soldier from the rest of its buddies. So that after the desperate tactics have fizzled, you'd have the pawn and the compensation.

🎩 Against King's Indian setups with 2...d6, you'll waste no time in breaking through the center, and activating your pieces. Meanwhile, the second player must endure a huge hole on d6... a king that will never be safe... or even both.

🎩 Against the ambitious 2...f5, you'll uncork a disruptive check to stop enemy aggression cold. So that you'd have all the time in the world to win the bishop pair or a healthy pawn.

🎩 Against the Rossolimo-style 2...Bb4, you'll hit the exposed bishop with "tempo moves" which simultaneously grab space, and take firm control of the dark squares.

🎩 Against the Reversed Closed Sicilian with 2...Nc6, you'll create a kingside majority which doubles as an endgame insurance — while your free-flowing bishops give you excellent attacking chances in the middlegame.

Plus, through 10 hours of video, Roiz draws your attention to the core variations and thematic ideas in every chapter. So even when the game drifts away from theory, you can reliably find the route to an advantage.
