Playing 1.e4 with White is often associated with having to know reams of chess opening theory but this does not have to be the case.

There are many unusual but playable lines that give White attacking chances whilst avoiding the well-trodden paths.

[caption id="attachment_1824790" align="alignleft" width="300"]<a href="https://www.ichess.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/2.na3-vs-sicilian.jpg"><img class="wp-image-1824790 size-thumbnail" title="2.na3 vs sicilian" src="https://www.ichess.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/2.na3-vs-sicilian-300x300.jpg" alt="2.na3 vs sicilian" width="300" height="300" data-wp-pid="1824790" /></a> 2.Na3... wait... what!?[/caption]

Besides the practical advantage of putting Black on his own resources, this gives White the opportunity to play creative chess from early on in the game.

On this DVD Davies presents a complete repertoire for White comprising unusual but aggressive lines.

His suggested repertoire includes 2.Na3 against the Sicilian, 2.f4 against both the French and Pirc and the Fantasy Variation of the Caro-Kann.

1. E4 For The Creative Attacker – Gm Nigel Davies (physical Disc)
1. e4 for the creative attacker – GM Nigel Davies

Playing 1.e4 with White is often associated with having to know reams of chess opening theory but this does not have to be the case.

There are many unusual but playable lines that give White attacking chances whilst avoiding the well-trodden paths.

2.na3 vs sicilian
2.Na3… wait… what!?

Besides the practical advantage of putting Black on his own resources, this gives White the opportunity to play creative chess from early on in the game.

On this DVD Davies presents a complete repertoire for White comprising unusual but aggressive lines.

His suggested repertoire includes 2.Na3 against the Sicilian, 2.f4 against both the French and Pirc and the Fantasy Variation of the Caro-Kann.
