Attacking 1...d5, Volume 1 + 2

Volume 1 considers a gambit treatment of the Slav and the Semi-Slav. White offers the c4-pawn in order to get a space advantage and a long-term initiative. It also covers the Closed Catalan and the modern line 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Nf3 Be7 5.g3 0-0 6.Bg2 dxc4 7.Ne5. The author’s idea is to throw 1...d5 players off their comfort zone by dragging them into sharp unbalanced positions. If you are fed up with all the mainstream Slav/Meran theory out-there, this book will offer you new refreshing approaches for both sides.

Volume 2: This book completes the work of building a full repertoire against set-ups with ...d5, started with the previous volume. It covers the Ragozin, the Chebanenko, the Vienna, the Hennig-Schara Gambit, the Tarrasch, 1.c4 e6 2.Nc3 d5 3.d4 a6 and 3...Bb4. The author relies on the move order 1.c4 e6 2.Nc3 d5 3.d4, which is consistent with another Georgiev’s book, The Modern English vol. 2.
