The Top-Tier Trompowsky de Robert Ris
      De nos jours, la liste des critères pour un répertoire d’ouvertures est longue : il doit être solide et durable ; ne pas nécessiter trop de mémorisation ; offrir de bonnes chances d’attaque ; forcer l’adversaire à réfléchir dès les premiers coups, etc. L’époque où l’on cherchait à obtenir un petit avantage dès l’ouverture est révolue : une approche plus pragmatique s’impose — il s’agit...

                  Fighting the Nimzo de Semko Semkov
                      Having the Nimzo-Indian Defence in his repertoire is a must for every 1.d4 player. However, it has been deeply explored, and lately White has been struggling to make something out of the opening. Indicatively, recent years have seen only books from Black’s perspective. This repertoire presents an innovative approach for White. While he starts with Kasparov’s move order 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3...
