The Queen's Gambit for the Attacking Player (Batsford Chess Library)

Henry Holt Co.

All players who open with 1 e4 need a good weapon against the Sicilian. The Open Sicilian demands a lifetime of study, while other systems tend to be positionally dubious or rather tame. The Bb5 line is the exception. It is completely logical and has real practical sting, and can be played confidently provided you have a good understanding of its ideas and a moderate amount of specific knowledge. This Easy Guide supplies just that. Once you have read this book you will be ready to start playing and winning with Bb5. Covers both the Rossolimo and Moscow (3 Bb5+) Variations. These sound but dynamic lines have recently been infused with new ideas. Two powerful systems for White against the Sicilian Defence. Everyman's Easy Guide series represents a new approach to chess openings books, just enough detail and just enough explanation to enable readers to play an opening with confidence, without months of memorizing theory, the easy way to master a chess opening.

The Dutch (1.d4 f5) is a superb weapon for ambitious players. Black rejects all thoughts of playing for sterile equality, and stakes a territorial claim on the Kingside. Quite often Black's plan can be summarized in one word: Checkmate! This book provides a full repertoire for Black with the Dutch, with the cornerstone being the Leningrad variation, a favorite of GMs Bareev, Gurevich, Malaniuk and Speelman. If you like more than passive resistance with the black pieces, then this book, focusing on variations which maximize Black's potential in detail.

The Gambit Guide to the Benko Gambit

The Semi-Slav has been one of the most topical openings of the last decade, and its most critical variation is the Botvinnik System (5 Bg5 dxc4). Most of today's top grandmasters, including Kasparov, Kramnik and Shirov, have relied on it as Black, White, or both, especially in make-or-break situations. Written by IM Steffen Pedersen who achieved a GM norm at 16 and has written several highly-regarded books.

The Meran is an opening rich in both strategy and tactics, making it ideal for players seeking to win with either colour. It occupies an important place in the repertoires of many of the world's top players, with Anand, Kramnik, Kasparov and Karpov regularly taking one side or the other. The book provides the most detailed coverage to date of the Meran, together with several related variations, and the various Anti-Meran options available to White.
