The Only Black Opening You Will Ever Need ...

I help adult and senior chess players win more games by understanding their openings instead of memorizing endless theory.

I'm International Master Yevhenii Yelisieiev, 21 years playing and 10+ coaching adult improvers.

For years I lost games because I couldn't memorize all the theory and kept landing in bad positions. Everything changed when I switched to simple, reliable systems built on understanding the ideas. That took me to the IM title, wins over grandmasters, and has helped hundreds of my students finally break through and enjoy chess again.

Here you get reliable opening systems for White and Black, the plans for right after the opening, and the habits that stop blunders. Built for busy adults who want real results without the theory grind.

Thanks so much for your videos and amazing analysis. In the position where you took a long time to decide what to play and eventually played Bc5 I wonder why you didn’t play Nc5? It is rare that you miss anything so I suspect I’ve missed something?

Thanks so much for teaching this opening. It's great. Can you do one where opponent plays e5 in response to your Nf6? Thank you.

Que bueno que en la última partida el oponente decidió seguir un poco más,pude ver muchas jugadas estratégicas,que ayudan a conservar la ventaja,cuando se tiene.

Gracias Yevhenii,por contestar gentilmente mí mail.🤝👍🖐️

The clickbait image for the video has the king and queen switched. This is probably a result of AI diffusion image generation where letters are often reversed or missing if there are words in the image.

Using vector graphics might be one way to avoid this, because diffusion can be avoided.

The clickbait worked in my case.
