Accelerated Dragons de John Donaldson et Jeremy Silman
      Many players are attracted to the Dragon Sicilian, but are put off by the fierce mating attacks that White can launch. In the Accelerated Dragon, Black aims for an improved version, saving a move with his queen's pawn. If White tries to ignore the difference, Black's instant detonation of the centre will come as an unwelcome cold shower! The authors show that White's main reply, the...

          The Sicilian Accelerated Dragon de Peter Heine Nielsen et Carsten Hansen
              In 1998, the authors set out to demonstrate the viability of the Accelerated Dragon as a weapon for Black, not fearing the Maroczy Bind or any other set-up White can come up with. In the intervening years, the opening has been apart of the opening repertoires of world top players such as Carlsen, Ivanchuk, and numerous other top grandmasters. Even though the material is now older, it is...

                          The Modernized Semi-Slav de Milos Pavlovic
                              The Semi-Slav Defense transcends its classification as a mere defensive response to 1.d4. It embodies a dynamic and multifaceted system that offers Black not only solidity in defense but also active counterplay and strategic flexibility. Here’s why the Semi-Slav is more than just a defense: Rather than passively defending, the Semi-Slav allows Black to counterattack in the center and...

                                  The Modernized London System de Milos Pavlovic
                                      Although known for a long time, the London started to catch up in popularity just in the last decade or so. I guess the reason for this is probably the desire of many players to focus more on the practical side of chess, with less use of engines and less memorization of long theoretical lines, and more about positional understanding of game. I must say, it received a huge boost not only in...

It is written from White’s standpoint and covers non-g3 set-ups. Some notable exceptions are 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 d6 3.g3, although 3.Nf3 and 3.d4 is also analysed. It should also serve Black players since the authors often discuss several alternatives to the main lines. The focus is on the modern...

I can’t really say that we went into great detail, but we certainly did discuss various systems. This book in particular is about the Rubinstein 4.e3...
