Black players immediately limit the opening theory they have to know because there is no way White can side-step Black’s first move. What’s more, the Scandinavian requires only very little theoretical knowledge, so it has an extremely low maintenance factor. To cap it all, Black gets a solid structure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd that’s not even the end of the good news, as Thomas Willemze demonstrates in this compact and practical manual. Playing the Scandinavian teaches invaluable techniques that you can use in almost all of your other games. Pressuring the centre, neutralizing your opponent’s initiative, improving your piece coordination, trading the right pieces and exploiting your opponent’s weak points are all typical ‘Scandinavian’ spin-offs that Thomas Willemze teaches you in his trademark lucid style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Scandinavian for Club Players\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eoffers everything you need to know to be fully prepared to meet 1.e4.

It’s popular at all levels of chess and a constant source of anxiety for White players. How can White find a worthwhile line against this incredibly firm defence? How can White set his Nimzo opponent difficult tasks from the outset? Perhaps it’s time to look somewhere different from the well-trodden main lines.\\r\\nIn this book Grandmaster and renowned openings expert Chris Ward investigates unusual white tries, including three uncompromising and underrated ways of battling against the Nimzo: the Sämisch, the Leningrad and the 4 f3 variation. Each line is ideal for putting your opponent under immediate pressure from the start of the game. By studying the various strategies and tactics in these variations, White players can confidently arm themselves with three new menacing lines against the Nimzo, while Black players must again search carefully for antidotes! 144 Seiten, 2005, kartoniert, englisch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chess Tigers Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44923934900544,"sku":"15612","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/8415\/3664\/files\/WardOffbeatNimzo-Indian.webp?v=1685390492"},{"product_id":"lalic-the-marshall-attack","title":"Lalic: The Marshall Attack","description":"\u003cp\u003e'The Marshall Attack is one of the oldest and most important openings in the history of chess.

In these razor-sharp encounters, it goes without saying that one slip by either side can prove to be fatal.
