The Queen's Gambit and Catalan for Black
A Grandmaster Explains a Solid and Dependable Repertoire
A Grandmaster Explains a Solid and Dependable Repertoire
Every chess-player needs a reliable defence against the Queen's Pawn Opening. The fundamental question is whether to go all-out for counterplay, which may involve a great deal of risk, or to adopt a more solid, classical approach, and first carefully neutralize White's initiative. This book shows the potential of the latter approach. By defending the Queen's Gambit Declined, Black puts a firm road-block in the way of White's ambitions.

The Petroff
A Detailed Account of the Solid Opening Favoured by Vladimir Kramnik and Other Super-Grandmasters
A Detailed Account of the Solid Opening Favoured by Vladimir Kramnik and Other Super-Grandmasters
The Petroff has for a long time been regarded as a very solid defence. Black avoids the perils of the Scotch, the Italian Game and above all the dreaded Ruy Lopez, and instead opts to neutralize White's initiative with active piece-play. In the Petroff, it is quite common for Black to launch an early counterattack, often gambiting a pawn to do so. For many years, the Petroff enjoyed a steady following, with Karpov, Ivanchuk, Timman, Anand and in particular Yusupov among its supporters at the top level.
