Grandmaster Repertoire 11 - Cómo superar las variantes secundarias de 1.d4, de Boris Avrukh (tapa blanda)

This Grandmaster Repertoire 11: Beating 1.d4 Sidelines by Boris Avrukh is an English-language paperback chess book for players with Black who want a practical repertoire against less common systems after 1.d4. Instead of giving a broad opening survey, it focuses on the sidelines and anti-1.d4 lines that come up in real games.

What the book covers

Boris Avrukh shows how to meet a wide range of offbeat White setups, from the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit and the Veresov to fianchetto systems, the Trompowsky, Torre, Colle, Colle-Zukertort, the London System and the Barry Attack.

The repertoire is built around solid and active play for Black against non-standard lines after 1.d4 d5 and 1.d4 Nf6. Where it matters, the book also covers answers after ...e6 and ...g6, making it useful for players who build their repertoire around the Nimzo-Indian, King’s Indian or Grünfeld Defence.

Who it is for

This is a strong choice for players who want to be ready for awkward systems without having to improvise at the board. It is especially relevant for club and tournament players looking for a consistent repertoire against 1.d4 that does not ignore sidelines.
