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.

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.

PALLISER - Starting Out : The Trompowsky Attack

Retour sur une ouverture qui, du point de vue des blancs, présente trois avantages considérables : 1°/ réduire la quantité de théorie à apprendre, 2°/ empoisonner les noirs et 3°/ donner naissance à des positions amusantes. Quoique, en y réfléchissant, le troisième point est aussi la faiblesse majeure de l'ouverture, les noirs ayant aussi quelques chances de s'amuser Comme je dis toujours, on ne peut pas tout avoir. En tous cas, voici un excellent moyen de s'initier au plus atypique des débuts semi-fermés.
