Dvirnyy is a 2-time Italian Champion. He’s also a FIDE trainer and a hit Chessable author. But before the accolades, he was a stubborn, self-learning student with a strict code:

“If someone beat me with a new opening idea, I had to learn it… and beat someone else with it!”

— Dvirnyy’s motto

Mastery of Opening Strategy

Let’s walk you through the course:

Part one, Dvirnyy upgrades your understanding of the basic principles.

You’ll train to grab the center, develop fast and with purpose… all while keeping your king safe. But where most books stop, he keeps going.

You’ll also learn how to clear the first rank, and anchor your rooks on the right files.

And when there are none? You’ll pry one open. So your towers don’t just look good — they’re effective. Ready to hammer the enemy position before the middlegame begins!

Healthy opening habits, open file

Snap out of the “centralized rook”

illusion — then reroute it to a

real open file!

With the basics locked-in, Dvirnyy raises the level of your piece and pawn play in the opening. Learn:

🧠 How to win untouchable outposts with backward knight moves. Your opponent can’t chase it. They can’t trade it. So now they must endure it!

🧠 Where to park your queen for lasting pressure, while avoiding becoming a target.

🧠 Can’t castle? King in danger? Part 4 shows you how to steer your king to safety, and turn the tables on your attacker.

🧠 Clear out “negative value” pawns. So your pieces can take over the newly opened lines.

Healthy opening habits, get rid of toxic pawns

Instead of nursing a toxic pawn, you

sac it to revitalize bishop and seize

the initiative with a rook lift!

🧠 Pin down enemy pieces worth 3 to 9 times more with a single push.

Plus many more!

Dvirnyy also breaks down key strategic ideas unique to the opening. For example:

🧠 Finally solve the Bg5 and …Bg4 pin. No more second-guessing — know exactly when to challenge the bishop and when to play around it.

on this classic opening pin.

🧠 Your rook pawn got isolated? Now it’s worth “less than” a pawn. That’s why this plan in section 7 is so efficient — because everything your pawn hits is profit!

🧠 The subtle nudge that’s almost always correct after O-O-O. It covers key squares, enabling you to switch on the offensive immediately!

🧠 Should you stop your opponent’s impending pawn push? Ask these 2 questions to know whether to block it or let them overextend.

🧠 Win a tempo with the Rubinstein Exchange. They move an already-developed piece twice — you bring in fresh firepower!

Each of these 35 patterns and habits have a dedicated section. So you zero in and absorb it fully before moving on.

Dvirnyy opens every section with a quick conceptual breakdown, followed by guided examples. No solving yet! Just watch the videos and take in the ideas.

Once you’ve replayed the examples a few times, it’s your turn. You test your progress with puzzles designed to lock in the habit.

Positions that push you to spot the right patterns and combine them, just like in a real game.
