Grandmaster Repertoire 11 – Beating 1.d4 Sidelines by Boris Avrukh

Descripción

Most players are comfortable using their favourite defence against 1.d4 followed by c2-c4, but it is not

always easy to find an antidote to the many sidelines at White’s disposal. From the bodacious Blackmar-

Diemer Gambit, to the villainous Veresov, to fiendish fianchetto systems to the treacherous

Trompowsky, Black must be ready to meet a whole array of slippery systems, each bringing its own

unique dangers and challenges.

 

Grandmaster Repertoire 11 – Beating 1.d4 Sidelines provides a sound and active repertoire

against virtually every non-standard opening line at White’s disposal after both 1.d4 d5 and 1.d4 Nf6.

Where applicable, Avrukh covers each white system after both 2…e6 and 2…g6, making this book

suitable for fans of the Nimzo-Indian, King’s Indian and Grünfeld defences alike.

Boris Avrukh is a grandmaster from Israel. He is an Olympiad gold medalist, former World Youth

Champion and analysis partner of World Championship finalists.
