Description
The purpose of the book is to equip the players with the white pieces against perhaps the most dangerous answer of black 1…e5. The book is written mainly from White’s point of view. The authors of course through the analyses seek various alternatives to the main lines. In this way also a player who chooses Black can benefit greatly. Inside the book the reader will find exactly what he needs as authors Kiril Georgiev and Semko Semkov cover everything one can look for.
