ChessCafe.com columnist Mark Dvoretsky is regarded as the leading chess coarch in the world. This book, one of his classics written with his pupil - and now GM - Artur Yusupov explores the intricacies of preparing openings for serious tournament play.
The first edition had been published by Batsford and has been out of print for a number of years. From the Introduction by Mark Dvoretsky: "For this new edition, the text has been checked anew, many analytical corrections have been included, and the chapter on the King's Indian Attack has been considerably expanded."
How should a chess player prepare his openings when he must face a well-prepared opponent? How should a repertoire of openings be built up? What openings should be employed when a win is essential? Or when a draw is sufficient? These questions are familiar to all chess players. The answers of a top grandmaster and his personal coach will shed welcome light on these thorny problems for the practical player. This book provides a unique insight into the workings of a highly efficient openings laboratory, and an entertaining account of the practical record of its output - both successes and failures.
