Cheparinov’s 1.d4! – Vol.1 – King’s Indian & Grünfeld

Descripción

Cheparinovs 1d4! – Vol.1 – King’s Indian & Grünfeld deciding to write a chess book came as a surprise to

me. First, because I am still an active player, and second, because I was not sure if I could write a book at all.

When Thinkers Publishing contacted me I had some doubts about whether I should do it, but I really liked the

idea of this project, so I told myself that I should take up the challenge.

Cheparinovs 1d4! – Vol.1

For many years I have been known as a good theoretician, not only because I was a second of former World

Champion Veselin Topalov for seven years, but also through my own games.

I take this as an opportunity to share my knowledge of openings and how I analyze them. I started this book with

the idea that I wanted it to be useful for all levels of playing strength, from amateurs to even top grandmasters. I

am sure that readers will notice the difference from many other openings books.

King’s Indian & Grünfeld

Besides, I think now is the time to reveal something about my opening preparation. In the last ten years or more I

have not read a single book on the openings. I did this on purpose, my idea being that I wanted to have my own

opinion about the lines I was playing. Of course I have still worked with Veselin and some other strong players,

but it is kind of ironic, because now I am writing such a book.

Cheparinov’s 1.d4!

In this first volume of Cheparinov’s 1.d4! readers will find my own way of working on openings, and the way I

analyze. Many of the lines and conclusions in this book are based not only on computer evaluation, but also on

the practical point of view. Of course all the lines have been deeply analyzed by strong engines, and although I am

sure they are not perfect, the most important thing is that all evaluations are based on my own understanding

and knowledge of chess. I believe this book should be used as a starting point, from which to build progress in

opening preparation.
