Kevin Goh Wei Ming - The Sicilian Najdorf 6 Bg5

Un CD entier sur une ouverture bien marginale : le début Van Geet, i.e. 1.Cc3. L'idée principale du début, c'est la variante 1.Cc3 d5 2.e4 (qui peut évidemment aussi être choisie contre la Scandinave). Face aux autres principales réponses noires (1...e5, 1...c5), le joueur peu désireux de rentrer dans les ouvertures classiques (Sicilienne, Viennoise...) peut essayer des systèmes incluant le fianchetto-roi accompagné soit du modeste d3, soit plus ambitieusement de Cf3 suivi de d4, amenant des positions certes proches desdites ouvertures classiques... mais suffisamment différentes pour se révéler piégeuses pour le joueur noir mal préparé et peu méfiant. En attendant la parution annoncée de la version anglaise de Der Linksspringer, ce CD vous permettra de faire le tour des possibilités de ce premier coup inhabituel.

 Endgame Labyrinths presents the reader with 1002 challenging studies selected and truncated, with their usefulness for the practical player in mind. It is common for studies to be extended by less interesting manoeuvres or by incomprehensible sequences, before the main themes come into play. The studies in this book have been pruned to leave the reader with 1002 clear and solvable challenges.

 A few years of extensive selection, analysis, reselection, reanalysis and refining have gone into putting together the study book for the practical player with the most value ever.
