The Chess Advantage in Black and White: Opening Moves of the Grandmasters Larry Kaufman
Publisher: Random House Puzzles & Games

A friend recently offered the opinion that learning all the extra theory associated with this move really isn't worth it at my level, as the positions I get are unlikely to be significantly better than after 3 . Quality Chess launched their incredibly popular series with Boris Avrukh's Black does not wait until white is able to finish his development and start slow maneuvering play as often happens in the Closed Systems, but immediately destroys an important central foothold. €�At first I had thought that Boris would lose interest in chess, but I soon discovered that he had already got to the end of our book and was trying to re-enact some of Grandmasters' games!” Gelfand's . Weighed up by a player to answer the question which is more true; will the more open position favor Black, or is there some very specific sequence of moves that can obtain a significant advantage by threatening the Black King? Anatoly converted his advantage into a victory in exemplary style. I'm happy to be able to review another great title published by Quality Chess! It seemed as though white had gained nothing in the opening and black was already beginning active operations against its “weak king”, when suddenly it became clear that… it simply had no moves! It's another “Grandmaster Repertoire”, the thirteenth volume and covers “The Open Spanish” for black! Therein lies one of the puzzles of chess; Black has the Bishop pair and he'd like to see more open lines, while White obviously thinks disturbing the defenders of the Black K-side may permit some sudden piece attack on the Black monarch. Let's start with my white repertoire. Every competitive chess player needs to decide which openings he wants to play.
