Grandmaster Repertoire 2 - 1.d4 volume 2 - By Boris Avrukh
|
Grandmaster Repertoire is a new series of high quality chess books based on the main lines, written by strong grandmasters. The aim is to provide the reader with a complete repertoire at a level good enough for elite tournaments, and certainly also for the club championship. Grandmaster Repertoire provides a repertoire to last a lifetime. Top GM Boris Avrukh charts a course towards an advantage with 1.d4. Avrukh is used to facing the best players in the world. In this book he presents an improved version of the repertoire that elevated him to the top 50, focussing on main lines with a kingside fianchetto. 1.d4 Volume Two covers the King's Indian, Dutch, Grunfeld, various Benonis, Benko, Budapest Gambit and other minor openings. Reviews "The high-quality Grandmaster Repertoire series has taken this format to a completely different level. The recently published Volume Two of Avrukh’s “1.d4” concludes the work begun in style in his frst book." GM Michael Adams, The Telegraph
"Two years ago Boris Avrukh ‘s 1.d4 Volume 1 set a standard for opening books . His follow-up, 1.d4 Volume 2 is possibly even better. Grandmaster Avrukh has done the chess world a great service in writing his repertoire series. No one is perfect. Inevitably some of the lines he recommends will come under fire and here and there small things will have been overlooked, but overall this is a fantastic achievement. Avrukh must have slaved away for hundreds if not thousands of hours. Players from master on up to strong Grandmaster will find 1.d4 Volume 2 to be extremely useful as will ambitious players below this standard and correspondence player, but keep in mind this is a demanding book for the reader as well as the author. 1. d4 Volume 2 is a very well-produced book as is typical of those published by Quality Chess. Despite being thicker than the average phone book it is very sturdily bound which allows it to stay open on any page - not an easy thing for most 600-page books. Strongly Recommended" IM John Donaldson
