Bezgodov/Barsky - The scotch game a white repertoire
The Scotch Game is a solid opening that has been tried and tested in practice by some of the strongest chessplayers in the world for more than two centuries. The idea behind the Scotch Game is simple and easily understandable. White eliminates – in a purely mechanical fashion – Black’s e5-pawn which initially impedes his ambition to dominate in the center.
This is very appealing for White, as he controls the direction of the struggle’s development, while Black can only try to keep pace. Furthermore, there are relatively simple schemes in the white repertoire in which it is enough to remember the main plans of both sides and typical maneuvers.
This is the second edition of Vladimir Barsky’s book that first appeared in 2009. The new edition consists of seven chapters dealing with the core ideas and variations of the Scotch, supplemented by 79 Illustrative Games. The authors not only present detailed analysis of all lines but are also careful to discuss the ideas behind the opening. If you already play the Scotch, you need this book. If you don’t, find out what you have been missing. 224 pages
ALTERMAN - The Alterman Gambit Guide White gambits
Evidemment, un “Black Gambits” suivra inévitablement Ce premier tome est consacré à 10 gambits blancs - 7 après 1.e4 e5, 1 sur la Caro (6.Fg5 dans la Panov), 1 sur la Sicilienne (le Morra) et 1 sur la Française (le Milner-Barry). Comme souvent en pareil cas, l'auteur oublie un peu la nécessaire objectivité (on aura profit à checker d'autres sources), mais il fait un bon boulot pour exposer un grand nombre d'idées typiques et instructives.

Ehlvest - The Modern Gurgenidze - A counterpunching repertoire for black
The Modern Defense has been popular for decades. However, within the purview of this defense, there is a system that challenges White right from the get-go. The brainchild of Georgian grandmaster Bukhuti Gurgenidze, Black plays 1...g6 and follows with a timely ...c6 and ...d5. Occasionally classified as part of the Caro-Kann, it draws battle lines immediately.
The move 1...g6 in general is an aggressive approach, throwing down the gauntlet from the very first move. This is why in some lines, even if the reader finds that the engine assesses a position in White’s favor, one should not be put off.
This book, the first one dedicated to the Modern Gurgenidze in many years, consists of 10 theoretical Chapters and 31 sample games. Jaan carefully explains how Black’s plans may change depending on White’s move order, when exactly we should play ...c7-c6 followed by ...d7-d5 (Chapters 1-5) and when we would be better off with ...d7-d6 and ...e7-e5 (Chapters 6-10). You will be treated to Jaan’s insights on Hippo, Dutch, English, King’s Indian and even 1.b3, all through the eyes of Gurgenidze system. – Grandmaster Alex Shabalov in his Foreword.
The Modern Gurgenidze has figured prominently in Jaan Ehlvest’s repertoire as Black for many years. He now shares his expertise and experience in this provocative defense. If you want to play for a draw, this book is not for you. But if you want to play for the full point, this counterpunching defense may be just what you are looking for.

VIGORITO - Understanding the Marshall Attack
Et vlan, encore un titre absurde chez Gambit : la Marshall, c'est pas à comprendre - c'est à connaître sur le bout des doigts jusqu'au 28ème coup, c'est tout Quoi qu'il en soit, le précédent traité sur le sujet (The Marshall Attack de Lalic) remontant à 2003 (ce qui est un peu vieux sur un pareil thème), on pourra recommander ce nouvel opus (qui cause aussi des anti-Marshall 8.a4 et 8.h3, comme il se doit) pour une nécessaire mise à jour.
