The Black Encyclopedia
for “Refuting” Flank and
Offbeat Openings?
Besides 1.e4 and 1.d4, the first player has 18 more ways to dupe you into playing their game. But you only need one tight-knit repertoire to shut down White’s tricks… blow the game wide open… and outfight them with superior piece play!
Hate it when you prepare against 1.e4 or 1.d4 for hours — only to face an oddball opening you didn’t even consider?
But worse than the wasted prep time…
You have no thematic plans nor principles to guide you. So every move feels like walking a tightrope!
If this situation sounds familiar, then enter Lifetime Repertoires: Sidelines & Flank Openings for Black. It’s the closest thing to a Black encyclopedia for beating all 18 of White’s flank and offbeat openings.
Grandmaster Surya Shekhar Ganguly built the repertoire around …Nf6 and …c5.

…Nf6 and …c5 — your new allies against
any offbeat opening by White
These flexible moves control key squares, and rule out transpositions to big main lines. Thanks to …cxd4.
This way, the game sticks to your prep — while the amount of must-study theory stays at a minimum.
Ganguly also set up the repertoire to virtually guarantee a dynamic open game. So you can hit White from different directions.
Either they must play d2-d4 or e2-e4 to avoid slipping into a bad position. Or you bust through the center yourself with …d7-d5 or …e7-e5 to…
Unleash the Energy of Your Pieces!
When it comes to winning with Black, you can hardly ask for a better coach than Ganguly.
5-time world champion Vishy Anand and other elite players count on Ganguly as their “anti-computer” analyst.
He’s carved a reputation for uncovering human-driven novelties and outsmarting the best chess machines… including a national defense supercomputer with 131,000 processors!
Here’s a sneak peek into his repertoire:
A 19th-century-style gambit that blunts the Reti (1.Nf3), then sends their pieces back to square one.

The engines love Black’s huge lead
in development versus the Reti…
and you will, too!
Knights on the 7th rank strengthen your space-grabbing pawns against the English (1.c4).

No pawn breaks in the English
means White isn’t breaking out
of your grip any time soon
The #b3cowboys (1.b3) receive a dose of their dark-squared medicine as they endure a cramp.

With a mass of pawns supported by your g7-bishop,
the b3-cowboys can kiss their dreams of
dark-square dominance goodbye
And against the Bird (1.f4), Ganguly plays the breakthrough White is desperately trying to stop — dealing serious positional and psychological damage!

How to clip the Bird’s wings:
Play the …e5-pawn break anyway
and own the center
Ganguly meets rarer sidelines, like the Grob (1.g4), Orangutan (1.b4) and Dunst Opening (1.Nc3), in the same manner…
Fighting on an open board which favors your active pieces — while denying White of the slow, closed game they’re familiar with.
Best of all:
Ganguly lays down the “why” behind the moves the way only a World Champion’s second can.
Anticipates The Student’s Questions… And Answers Them!
Surya stresses the importance of understanding with words… More than a repertoire, this is an encyclopedia of ideas… He anticipates where students are likely to get confused and spends extra time to make sure we don’t. Amazing.
— SmithyQ
Over 29 hours of video and 157K words of instruction explain the plans for both sides…
Why certain setups and move-orders serve you better than others…
Plus “rules of thumb” for telling similar-looking positions apart…
So that you’re able to find the right move, even when White mixes things up.
We’re confident that Lifetime Repertoires: Sidelines and Flank Openings for Black can boost your results against all 18 of White’s offbeat openings.
But don’t take our word for it.
Sign up for the course, while our 100% satisfaction, 30-day money-back guarantee shoulders the risk.
Spend an entire month sharpening your Black repertoire with Ganguly. Take back control against White’s tricky sidelines. And revel in the wide open positions, where the tactics favor you.
