Fritz Trainer: Play it Safe Play the Petroff w/Leonid Kritz

The Petroff Defence is one of the most solid and respected openings in modern chess — the weapon of choice for elite players like Anand, Kramnik, and Gelfand when they need a reliable equaliser against 1.e4. Its reputation for solidity is well-earned, but mastering it requires precision all the way into the endgame.

In this Fritz Trainer course, GM Leonid Kritz provides comprehensive coverage of all main lines and the most important sub-variations, introducing new ideas and deep analysis that extend well beyond the opening phase. Whether you're a club player looking for a trustworthy defence or an advanced player seeking to sharpen your Petroff preparation, this course delivers a solid foundation at every level.
