The Killer Dutch

Simon Williams er kjent spesialist på Klassisk hollandsk, altså trekkene f5, e6, Sf6, Le7, 0-0 og d6 i en eller annen rekkefølge. Her kommer han med et større verk om åpningen, som han selv har nedlagt Boris Gelfand med så sent som i 2012.

Boka er velpoengtert og pedagogisk leseverdig i Williams sin stil. Den handler også om svarts spill mot avvikende oppstillinger fra hvits side, særlig med 1 c4 eller 1 Sf3.

Forlagets egen omtale:

Grandmaster Simon Williams has played the Classical Dutch for over twenty years.

It remains his favourite opening and has featured in some of his greatest individual results, including a win over World Championship finalist Boris Gelfand.

In this book, Williams examines the Classical Dutch in great depth.

He also presents a complete repertoire for Black with the Dutch Defence, which is based on his own repertoire he has used successfully at grandmaster level for many years.

As well as presenting the latest theory and revealing his new ideas in the key lines, Williams highlights the main tactical and strategic ideas for both sides and covers important issues such as move orders.

Each chapter includes a series of tests at the end, so that readers are able to assess how well they have understood the main concepts.
