Fra forfatterens forord:

When I started writing Attacking 1... d5, I planned to analyse only gambit treatment of the Slav and the Semi-Slav. Then I added also some ideas against 1.c4 e6 2.Nc3 d5, planning to stop at that. Apparently I hit a hot theme since the publisher got many letters asking to complete the work by building a full repertoire. Thus a second volume became necessary.

I took for a base the English move order 1.c4 e6 2.Nc3 d5 3.d4 to be consistent with my book The Modern English vol. 2. This approach helps us to avoid the Queen’s Gambit Accepted, which has been a very tough nut to crack lately.

The most complex opening in this new book is the Ragozin Defence. It is abundant with long forced variations, which often finish with forced draws. The best way to get a playable position is probably the line 1.c4 e6 2.Nc3 d5 3.d4 Nf6 4.Nf3 Bb4 5.Qa4+!? Nc6 6.e3 0-0 7.Qc2.
