Chess theory ebbs and flows. Lines that have been discarded for decades suddenly become all the rage and everyone starts playing them. A case in point are queenside openings where White plays Bf4. For years these had been the chess equivalent of flared trousers but in recent times they have been reinvented and even the best players in the world are now sporting them.

La défense Sicilienne est depuis longtemps reconnue comme l'une des meilleures façons de répliquer à 1.e4. Bobby Fischer a grandement contribué à la populariser en jouant systématiquement la variante Najdorf. Anatoly Karpov préférait la plus solide variante Taïmanov. Garry Kasparov avait un faible pour la Scheveningue, qu'il atteignait le plus souvent par l'ordre de coups de la Najdorf, pour...

I have returned to my book from a few years ago, to an opening that at the time was a rare guest among books as a topic – and not only among books, but also in tournament practice. In the intervening years it has become very popular to use this old and somewhat forgotten method of playing and I have found lots of interesting new games.
This time though I have focused mainly on...

The Grünfeld Defence is is a combative reply to 1 d4 which has been favoured by many world champions including those two legends of the game, Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov. It is an opening in the hypermodern style, in that Black generally allows White to build a strong centre early on in the expectation of being able to undermine it in the middlegame play.

The setup will feel very familiar to you in no time. And the chess engines show that this opening is both sound and correct, and at least as good as the over-analyzed Ruy Lopez and Italian Opening.
With this opening, you'll...
