If Santasiere’s Folly (1.Nf3 followed by b4) has earned its place in chess folklore, then Nakamura’s Folly (1.Nf3 followed by e3 and possibly b3) surely deserves the same respect. In this 60-minute course, IM Andrew Martin introduces you to a flexible and refreshingly simple opening setup - that Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura has used to rack up numerous impressive wins.
With 1.Nf3—a subtle first move that quietly rules out 1...e5—followed by e3 (and sometimes b3), White avoids heavy theoretical battles and aims instead to keep the tension alive. The strategy? Steer the game toward a rich middlegame full of possibilities, while sidestepping the deep waters of mainstream opening theory. This is an ideal system for practical players: low-maintenance, easy to learn, and packed with strategic bite. With just a basic understanding of the key ideas and structures, you can consistently reach solid and dynamic positions—with real chances to outplay your opponent. Nakamura’s Folly: no theory, no nonsense, just good chess.
