A competitive chess player playing 1.d4 faces the opening in almost every tournament, and for Black it can be used in just about every second game.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBook 2 : \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eΤhe second part of the Complete Slav contains all systems that were not presented in the first part, namely a popular variation 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 dxc4 and also all systems after 4…e6. Not to mention the possibilities such as 5. g3 or 5. Qb3, I have presented lines after 5. e3 Nbd7 – for starters Meran (6. Bd3 dxc4 7.Bxc4 b5) and Anti-Meran (6. Qc2 Bd6) lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso the variations rising after 5. Bg5 are examined deeply, namely Moscow (5… h6 Bxf6) and Anti-Moscow (5… h6 Bh4) variations as well as Botvinnik system 5… dxc4. A possibility to cover such a multitude of systems in only one book (it was possible to create even 5 tomes) occurred only because I have tried to shorten the lines almost to the bare minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are plenty of openings books in where not the most important lines are covered – this leads to a creation of plenty unnecessary variations – the book starts to be ‘wishy-washy’.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"We Chess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51397710217432,"sku":null,"price":9.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/4973\/2824\/files\/CE-CompleteSlavI.jpg?v=1771181932","url":"https:\/\/we-chess.myshopify.com\/products\/complete-slav-i-ii-oldy-but-goldy","provider":"We Chess","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
