«Jugando 1.d4: las defensas indias», de Lars Schandorff (tapa dura)

Playing 1.d4 - The Indian Defences by Lars Schandorff is an English-language hardcover chess book for White players who want a practical repertoire after 1.d4 against Indian Defences and other replies except 1...d5.

What this book covers

This is the second volume in Schandorff’s ambitious 1.d4 repertoire for White. The approach is built around classical Botvinnik-inspired ideas: White aims to control the centre, restrict Black’s counterplay and steer the game into active positions from the start.

The book combines clear verbal explanation with concrete analysis, so the ideas are easy to follow while still giving you material you can use at the board. It works both as an opening study book and as a guide to the plans and typical motifs that arise from these structures.

The repertoire is completed by Playing 1.d4 - The Queen's Gambit, which rounds out the full White system after 1.d4.
