Grandmaster Repertoire 9 – The Grunfeld Defence Volume Two

Descripción

Grandmaster Repertoire 9 – The Grunfeld Defence Volume Two is a series of high quality chess books

based on the main lines, written by strong grandmasters. The aim is to provide the reader with a

complete repertoire at a level good enough for elite tournaments, and certainly also for the club championship.

Grandmaster Repertoire 9

The Grünfeld Defence offers a repertoire for Black against 1.d4. Avrukh’s two previous

Grandmaster Repertoire books White received universal rave reviews and have been hugely

influential on chess players all over the world, including at the very highest level.

Volume Two covers the Exchange variations where White plays 4.cxd5 or 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.cxd5.

Volume Two

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

World Youth Champion and analysis partner of World Championship finalists.

 

«Avrukh does a fabulous job of piecing together a repertoire, presenting it in digestible format, and

then analyzing the chosen lines in incredible detail. All while offering hundreds of improvements

over existing theory… The variety of moves goes from simple alternatives to outright improvements

that change the evaluation of the line as a whole.

The Grünfeld Defence

The latter are obviously the ones that make the study and subsequent use of the lines exciting.

Playing against a reasonably well-prepared opponent in this opening can be difficult, but facing them

packing the armory in these volumes will be a whole different ball game.

Boris Avrukh

For the strong to elite players who employ the main lines of the Grünfeld, these books are must-buys.

Such players will love these books and refer to them repeatedly. Those ranking just below that will

also be able to benefit, while others will likely do better with something aimed at their level.

My assessment of these books: 6/6 Stars»
