Description
An Attacking Repertoire with 1.d4, Parts 1 and 2 (Download)
by Nicholas Pert
This is a high-level opening choice with many fresh ideas designed to cause problems for Black players in their pet opening systems. 1.d4 d5 2.c4 has been played by practically all of the world’s leading players at some point in their chess careers. The bulk of this 39 chapter volume considers how to tackle the Queen’s Gambit Accepted, Queen’s Gambit Declined, and Slav Defense. In addition I examine the Triangle system, 2...c5, Tarrasch Defense, Henning-Shara Gambit, Baltic Defense, Tschigorin's Defense, and Albin Counter-Gambit.

Part 2 (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4)
In this detailed two-part video series I take a look at a main line White system based on 1.d4, aimed at the ambitious player who is looking to put maximum pressure on his opponent from the start of the game. This volume will consider positions in which Black plays without an early ...d7-d5, and so the "start position" for Part Two is 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4. This volume focuses on a White system against openings such as the Nimzo-Indian, Benoni, and Benko Gambit. (Please note that the Grunfeld and King's Indian variations (2...g6) are not covered in this video series.) There are many aggressive, fresh ideas designed to cause problems for Black players. My chosen lines tend to be very attacking, aiming to quickly fight for control of the center and an early attack on the Black King. There is also a lot of original analysis included. This video series considers how to tackle the “Nimzo-Indian” using the move 4.Qc2. Various Benoni lines are considered - the main line, Czech, Snake, Late and Old Benoni. Some fresh and aggressive attacking ideas have been considered against the Benko Gambit and Blumenfeld Gambit. In addition I have looked at how to play against 2...b6, the Budapest and Fajarowicz Gambits.
