About this title

Synopsis

Why do so many Grandmasters play the Slav? Is it the opening's resilience? Its counterattacking potential? Or the ease with which all Black's pieces can find effective postings?

This book, by two leading Siberian masters, explains in detail all the themes behind this uncompromising defense. Their personal experience with the Slav against the top Russian players enables them to prescribe effective remedies to all White's unusual approaches, and to explain how Black is to find counterchances against the solid main line, in which White gains a pawn center that, although large, can easily prove to be unwieldy.
