In this video course, Grandmaster Ivan Sokolov explores the fascinating world of King’s Indian and Pirc structures with colours reversed, often arising from the French or Sicilian.
You’ll discover:
• Why legends like Kramnik, Botvinnik, and Bobby Fischer successfully employed these systems.
• The strategic plans and dynamic ideas White can use to build lasting pressure.
• How Black must respond with accuracy to avoid slipping into passive or worse positions.
Sokolov blends classical games with modern analysis, to show that success here is less about memorising theory and more about mastering recurring patterns and strategies. With these insights, you’ll gain a real edge in practical play - whether you’re seizing the initiative with White or countering the system with Black. A course for practical players, designed to sharpen your middlegame skills, and give you the confidence to thrive in dynamic King’s Indian and Pirc-type battles.
