Chessable author GM Srinath Narayanan is back with a new course that is sure to shake up the world of chess openings. His latest offering, “Queen’s Gambit Accepted: Simplified,” is a compact and practical repertoire against 1.d4 that is already making waves in the chess community.

In a recent interview, GM Narayanan shared his motivation for creating this course, citing the need for a reliable opening that is easy to learn and implement, especially for players with limited time. His course is a result of his own experiences and understanding of the Queen’s Gambit Accepted, an opening that has brought him and World Champion Gukesh Dommaraju success in top-level competition.

One of the highlights of GM Narayanan’s course is the exploration of variations after 3.e4, which he finds particularly exciting. He also shared a memorable 10-move win against another Grandmaster in an online event, showcasing the effectiveness of the opening.

Aside from his course creation, GM Narayanan continues to work with select students and occasionally does commentary work for chess events. His philosophy on course creation emphasizes not just learning the opening moves, but also gaining a deeper strategic understanding of chess as a whole.
