Opening Repertoire: The Slav

En oppdatert og tiltalende presentasjon av Slavisk dronninggambit for svartspillere: 1 d4 d4 2 c4 c6 og hvis 3 Sf3 Sf6 4 Sc3 dxc4. Også Slavisk-oppstilling mot andre førstetrekk som 1 c4, Sf3, g3, b3 og til og med f4.

En bok som kombinerer Lakdawalas alltid litt morsomme stil med bra seriøsitet på en åpning som er en av hans gamle favoritter, med også en del egne partier blant de 74 hovedpartiene i boka. Eldst av dem er bokas eneste lynsjakkparti der Lakdawala spilte remis mot Garry Kasparov på ICC i 1998.

Forlagets egen omtale:

The Slav (1 d4 d5 2 c4 c6) is a great choice against 1 d4 for players who are after a solid position from the opening but one that also contains dynamic possibilities. The pawn on c6 guarantees Black a firm foothold in the centre but there is also the ever-present possibility to capture on c4 and possibly even try to hold on to this pawn. The Slav is ideal for combining reliability with a promise for dynamic counterplay in the middlegame.

In Opening Repertoire: The Slav, highly experienced chess author and coach Cyrus Lakdawala guides the reader through the complexities of the Slav and carves out a repertoire for Black. He examines all aspects of this highly complex opening and provides the reader with well-researched, fresh, and innovative analysis. Each annotated game has valuable lessons on how to play the opening and contains instructive commentary on typical middlegame plans.

A complete repertoire for Black against 1 d4.

A question and answer approach provides an excellent study method.
