Fighting the London System de Kiril Georgiev
      This book presents a Black repertoire against the opening hit of the year - the London System, which arises after 1.d4 d5 2.Bf4. The author also covers various move orders with 2.Nf3 or 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bf4 c5. Kiril Georgiev analyses several different set-ups for Black so the book would be of help to White players, too.

          Starting out: the Colle de Richard Palliser
              The Colle is a solid, reliable system of development based on the popular opening move 1 d4. One of its major advantages is that although the system is very easy to learn and play, it leads to exciting middlegame positions where White often launches a violent attack against Black's king. The Colle is a particular favourite amongst club players, but is also seen at grandmaster level; perhaps...

                              Pour la plupart des joueurs, affronter le système de Londres a quelque chose d'agaçant. Longtemps délaissé par les grands joueurs, superficiellement peu agressif, c'est le type d'ouverture dont on se dit que si on la rencontre devant l'échiquier, on arrivera bien à la neutraliser avec un peu de bon sens et en respectant quelques grands principes. Or, ce système est loin d'être...

A great deal of the book is devoted to White's tries to deviate from theoretical dispute and transfer the game into the Queen's Indian with g3.
