Description
In recent years we can observe that chess is changing and at the same time it is constantly evolving. The grandmastrers are constantly trying out new ideas and openings looking for the ideal lines that will give them even a small advantage. One notable observation is that in many cases they have begun to avoid the moves 1.e4 and 2.d4. Instead they choose to start with 1.c4 and 1.Nf3.
This book offers the reader something unique. It helps the reader to learn to deal with new challenges with Black. This is actually done by building a hedgehog formation! The authors not only suggest a modern set of moves, but also explain how to achieve this goal depending on the various movement options of white.
The book is divided into 22 chapters, each of which offers the reader strategic pattern ideas, playing styles and in-depth positional analysis. In the book the reader will also find several complete games which are analysed in depth. Some of them are:
Ivanchuk – Jakovenko, Astrakhan 2010
Korchnoi – Ponomariov, Odessa 2008
Karjakin – Lysyj, Kazan 2014
Kramnik – Ehlvest, New York 1995
Aronian – Gelfand, Moscow 2014
and several more!
A very well structured book by Igor Lysyj and Roman Ovetchkin which will offer you a wealth of new ideas!
