Grand Prix Attack (1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4). Roman’s Favorite Opening to meet the Sicilian Defense. Roman will show you a clear plan which will give you a comfortable position, however, if your opponent makes a tactical or positional mistake, he will either get crushed or end up with at least a bad position. Roman has had great success with this opening and is passing his own ideas and concepts on to you. This will increase your wins against the Sicilian.

Reti Opening White plays 1.Nf3 - Roman will give you easy to learn ideas and concepts on this positional opening. If you play the English, the Reti is a must because of the likelihood of transposing into it. So, if you don’t want to remember a lot of theory, and like ambitious hidden attacks, the Reti is for you. Running time 90 minutes.
