Kaufman - Chess Board Options

Une somme sur la défense Pirc. Le texte (en anglais) est illustré de 116 parties commentées et accompagné de plus de 80.000 parties de référence (l'intégrale des parties disponibles sur le sujet dans Chessbase).

Voilà ce qui s’appelle être réactif : l’ouverture vedette du dernier Championnat du monde (avec majuscule) passée en revue par un ex-champion du monde (avec minuscule). Utile pour ceux qui ont raté les derniers épisodes – et puis au moins, on ne s’ennuie pas en suivant les parties.

The English Opening arises after 1.c4, and is a great practical weapon for players of all levels. White dictates the opening from the very first move, and often reaches positions where understanding themes and plans is more important than the latest computer-generated analysis.

Nikolaos Ntirlis has been Playing the English successfully for many years in high-level correspondence events, as well as teaching it to students ranging from club players to Grandmasters. While his analysis is first-rate, Ntirlis also understands the differing needs between correspondence and human play, and this repertoire is specifically tailored towards practical players.

Playing the English – A World-Class Repertoire provides a complete repertoire with 1.c4, showing how to meet every major option that Black may try. Each section of the book begins with an introduction outlining the main plans and concepts, so you will be equipped with both the strategic and theoretical knowledge needed to crush your opponents.

Nikolaos Ntirlis is an award-winning author, openings expert, and Correspondence IM. He has worked as an openings adviser to numerous GMs, including the Danish Olympiad team.
