Hello everyone and welcome to this course on 1.e4 e5 for Black! My name is Arthur de Winter and I am an International Master from the Netherlands with a FIDE rating of 2450. I have played many games, including ones with 1.e4 e5. I would like to show you in this course how to play it a Dynamic and Simple way that doesn't involve lot's of theory and keeps winning chances alive while keeping things solid overall. First I would like to give some information that I think is useful to know before you delve into this course. Firstly, this course is approved by the engine. Secondly, this course does not go into the full depth of every line. You will need to analyze some things a little bit further. At last, it's important to realize that courses such as this one are a starting point for learning. The only real way of fully learning an opening is to practice it in games. I hope this helps, now let's get learning. Play e5!
