From the Back Cover

In the past few years the Trompowsky Attack (1 d4 Nf6 2 Bg5) has risen from relative obscurity to become one of White's most popular queen's pawn openings. largely inspired by the English grandmasters Julian Hodgson and Michael Adams, the 'Tromp' has been enthusiastically taken up by club players and grandmasters alike, and has become one of the most potent weapons at White's disposal. From the second move White sets his opponent unusual ad difficult problems; one false move and Black can often be swamped by a quick attack, as countless victims will testify. In this book, Grandmaster Joe Gallagher explains the strategy and tactics of this exciting opening. Through the use of model games for both sides, the author provides a thorough grounding in the key ideas, so readers can quickly and confidently start to use the Trompowsky in their own games.
