See Chessable versionįrom the successful series by Boris Avrukh (and many others) we know that the conventional Catalan System (1.d4, 2.c4, 3.g3) is a highly respected opening system played at the very highest levels by the worlds top players.

The major objective is to dominate Black from the opening, by simple means. Sielecki has created a reliable set of opening lines for chess players of almost all levels. His new repertoire based on 1.d4 has a similar profile: variations that are straightforward and easy to remember, and require little or no maintenance.
