"An Active Repertoire Against 1.d4, 1.c4, 1.Nf3"

"We suggest you readers enlarged your opening repertoire on the basis of the Dutch Defence and one of its most complex lines  the Leningrad variation.
It was named like this because numerous players from the beautiful city on the river Neva took part in its theoretical development.
The fianchetto of Black’s bishop on g7 is typical for the Leningrad variation.
There arises on the board something like a hybrid between the King’s Indian Defence and the Dutch Defence..."  (Vladimir Malaniuk and Petr Marusenko)

GM Malaniuk has been the main driving force behind the Leningrad Variation for decades. He has found many original plans which turned this branch of the Dutch into an active and dangerous weapon. White cannot enter dull and boring positions even if he insists on this. Therefore, it is often used when Black wishes to play for a win, particularly in decisive games. The book also offers a repertoire against 1.c4 and 1.Nf3.

GM Malaniuk was a regular participant of the Soviet championships between 1983 and 1991 and three-time Ukrainian champion. He has two Olympic medals with Ukraine. IM Marusenko is a professional journalist and editor.
