LEMOS DEEP DIVE – VOL01

Since entering the computer age, chess openings theory has exploded, with razor sharp novelties and tricky ideas being routinely “cooked” and sprung upon the unwary club player.

How do you deal with this?

You surely can’t memorize everything.

In Double Fianchetto Domination, GM Damian Lemos offers a refreshing break from rote-memorization, with a unique ideas-based opening system, favored by the likes of Vladimir Kramnik, Lev Aronian and many other elite GMs.

This is your complete repertoire for white based on powerfully fianchettoing both bishops and then, regardless of how black responds, using GM Lemos’ reliable strategy for gaining an advantage and playing for a win.

Armed with this system, you have a reliable, non-theoretical opening that’s simple enough to learn in a weekend, yet powerful enough to crush grandmasters.
