Day 2 – Rapid

The Ragozin Defense

The Ragozin is being played by every top grandmaster in the world – it is time you also add it to your repertoire to get interesting and dynamic positions against 1. d4!
GM Alejandro Ramirez analyses every single move that White can play once the Ragozin is reached, but due to several transpositional possibilities he always emphasises strategic goals to keep in mind.
