Description
Seven years after his applauded and bestselling The Kaufman Repertoire for Black and White, Grandmaster Larry Kaufman has returned with his new repertoire book, including the entire scope of chess openings for both White and Black, in one volume.
Two principal developments made this new book required. Larry Kaufman, who himself routinely plays the lines he advocates to others, discovered that after 1.d4 (the recommendation in his previous book) it became nearly impossible to show a consistent advantage for White, especially against the Grünfeld and Nimzo/Ragozin defenses. The other factor was that chess engines have become so much stronger.
Larry Kaufman gives a completely new White repertoire with 1.e4 pointing for an objective advantage in the simplest practical manner. You are presented with two options, while you don’t have to play the sharpest lines. The Black repertoire has been thoroughly revised and improved, and three new chapters have been included.
Kaufman’s New Repertoire for Black and White is the first opening book that is primarily based on Monte Carlo search. The highly original analysis has resulted in loads of upgades on existing theory. This is a lucidly explained, ready-to-go and easy to learn repertoire with sound, practical lines that do not outdate rapidly and are suitable for masters while perfectly accessible for amateurs.
Larry Kaufman is an American Grandmaster. He has been involved in computer chess since 1967, when he worked on ‘MacHack’, the first computer that competed in tournaments with human players. More recently he has been working on the programs Rybka and Komodo.
