2005, 192 Seiten, kartoniert, englisch Against 1.d4 the author recommends playing 1 ...d5 followed by 2...Nc6, which, after White's customary Queen's Gambit, will lead to the Chigorin Defence, noted for its active piece play and counterattacking possibilities.
Upon 1.e4 Black can again dictate the character of the opening from the very first moves by adopting the Scandinavian Defence, and after 2 exd5 Qxd5 3 Nc3, continuing with 3...Qd6 instead of the usual 3...Qa5. Black can then rapidly develop the forces by ...e6 or the brand new ...g6, leading to uncharted territory in which pure chess skill rather than deep theoretical knowledge will be the decisive factor. For each opening, the book covers: - Possible tricks and traps for both sides
- The basic plan and strategy using entertaining games
- How to play the middlegame by following easy plans
To complete this exciting repertoire - which will make you a feared opponent when playing the black pieces - author Gary Lane also provides energetic modes of development to counter Flank and Unorthodox openings.
