BEZGODOV - The liberated bishop defence

In many 1.d4 openings, Black has trouble getting his bishop on c8 into play. Former Russian Chess Champion Alexey Bezgodov presents a radical solution to this nagging problem; liberate your bishop right away and put it on f5 on the second move!

Play 2...Bf5! against either 2.c4 or 2.Nf3 will surprise your opponent and is also a great way to support your development, because the bishop takes control of the important square e4. If White does not immediately take decisive action, then within a move or two he can relinquish any hopes on an opening advantage.

Alexey Bezgodov has found some great antidotes to White's most dangerous reactions in sharp and attractive lines. To test your understanding of his system he has included more than 100 exercises. After studying the fresh ideas and the clear explanations presented in The Liberated Bishop Defencechess players of almost every strength will enjoy the flexibility of a surprising, effective and universal weapon against 1.d4.

Henris: The Complete Albin Counter-Gambit

Authored by Belgian FIDE Master Luc Henris, an expert on the Albin, this book covers the Albin Counter-Gambit on about 600 (!) pages. It provides you with up-to-date analysis and innovative ideas to fight the Queen´s Gambit. While it has long been underestimated by master and club players alike, it is especially Morozevich (ELO 2760 as of May 2013) who revived the Albin in recent years. If it´s good for him, it´s good for us too: an entertaining, surprising, and sound counter-weapon for Black.

VIGORITO - The Sicilian Dragon

VIGORITO - The Sicilian Dragon

Bon, voilà du plus animé Avec le Dragon, il y a deux bons conseils à toujours garder en mémoire : si vous voulez le jouer, ne jouez que ça (celui-ci est de Tiviakov, qui sait de quoi il parle) ; et si vous voulez le jouer, lisez tout ce qui sort sur le sujet (celui-là est de moi, mais je crois que personne ne le contestera). Car la créature est multiforme, et elle change vite : ce deuxième volume de la série Chess Developments, qui fait le point sur toutes les lignes chaudes de l'attaque yougoslave, est donc le bienvenu..

Esserman - Mayhem in the Morra

Couverture volontairement tapageuse et provocatrice pour ce nouvel opus sur la Morra... c'est bien sûr du second degré (La Sicilienne réfutée? Ben voyons...) , sauf que le seul à prendre ça au sérieux est apparemment l'auteur. Au lieu de présenter le Morra pour ce qu'il est (une arme surprise intéressante mais douteuse en usage systématique), il essaye de nous convaincre qu'il vient de réinventer l'aspirateur sans sac. A vous de voir...
