Albin Counter-Gambit
Black's complete intermediate repertoire in the Albin Counter-Gambit (1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 d4). Seven drills cover the 5.g3 Be6 mainline, 5.g3 Bg4 pin, 5.a3 Spassky, 5.Nbd2 solid defence, 4.e3 declined, the 5...Nge7 setup, and the rapid 5.g3 Be6 / ...Bh3 plan.
The Albin Counter-Gambit (1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5!?) flips the Queen's Gambit on its head — sacrifice a pawn for a mighty d4 wedge, opposite-side castling, and a kingside storm with ...h5/...h4. This pack drills the seven essential paths: the 5.g3 Be6 mainline with the explosive ...Bxg4 sacrifice, the 5.g3 Bg4 pin line, the 5.a3 Spassky setup, the solid 5.Nbd2 defence, the 4.e3 declined line, the patient ...Nge7 / ...Ng6 setup, and the quick ...Bh3 plan to trade White's best defender. Thirty exam positions sharpen the queen-side castling decision, the e5-recapture timing, and the central counter-breaks that make the Albin one of the most dangerous answers to the Queen's Gambit at every level.
