The Modern Bogo 1.d4 e6 - Antic & Maksimovic
They did it! Dejan Antic and Branimir Maksimovic have created a complete chess opening repertoire for Black players in only two books.
First they wrote the acclaimed The Modern French (against 1.e4). Now The Modern Bogo provides Black players with a comprehensive answer to 1.d4. The two books complement each other perfectly.
The point is that the authors recommend to answer 1.d4 with the direct 1...e6, for the follow-up 2.c4 Bb4+. In this way they avoid complex theoretical Nimzo-Indian lines and enable both amateur and professional players to find their own way in little-explored variations.
The Modern Bogo covers all the possibilities for White after 1.d4 e6... except for 2.e4, after which you should play the French!
Antic and Maksimovic have done a massive amount of research, and found many new strategic concepts and attacking plans. All of them are explained clearly and thoroughly.
You will find that this opening not only gives you good chances to equalize as Black, but also many opportunities to play for a win.
PERT - Playing the Trompowsky
This new book by English IM Richard Pert gives you a complete attacking repertoire on the Trompowsky: 1. d4 and 2. Bg5! Tested in games at all levels, this opening is a powerful and sound weapon. However, since it is little known, it will often come as a very unpleasant surprise for your opponents...

Après la Slave, voci donc l'espagnole ce qui n'est jamais une mauvaise idée pour démarrer une collection sur la théorie des ouvertures, tant celle-ci reste à la fois performante et hautement instructive. Après une première partie consacrée aux variantes avec d3 (juste pour éviter d'envoyer les complets débutants à l'abattoir), l'ami Mc Do nous fait (re)découvrir tous les thèmes classiques et toutes les grandes variantes. Clair, plaisant, intéressant, utile
