Your Jungle Guide to 1.D4! - Volume 1a - by Kotronias & Ivanov (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Grandmasters Kotronias and Ivanov are renowned as leading theoreticians and chess trainers. They offer a unique and world-class repertoire based on 1.d4! They advocate an ambitious approach for White, with the aim to fight for an advantage in any position. This is their first joint effort; they tackle the ever-popular Queen's Gambit Accepted and their sidelines in Volume 1A and 1B.

We at Thinkers believe their job could not have been done any better.

Review Quotes

Your Jungle Guide to 1.d4! Vol. 1A is a book for serious theoreticians. The first of a series devoted to 1.d4 d5
2.c4, it covers the Chigorin (2...Nc6), the Albin (2...e5), the Baltic (2...Bf5), the
Mamedyarov (2...c5) and 3.e4 c5 and 3.e4 b5 in the Queen's Gambit Accepted. The
latter gives some idea of the depth of the analysis in this move as 3...e5 and
3...Nf6 are covered in volume 2.

If you like playing principled lines and study theory you will find no more

detailed guide to the openings covered here than Your Jungle Guide to 1.d4! Vol. 1A.
