The Modern Benoni arises after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6.

Black invites his opponent to gain space in the centre, with the intention of undermining the enemy position and launching a counterattack. Although the amount of theory has expanded in recent years, the French often leads to positions where positional and strategic understanding prove more relevant than long sequences of computer-generated moves.Grandmaster Repertoire 14 ¿ The French Defence 1 introduces the Winawer Variation after the opening moves 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4, and provides expert recommendations against all of White¿s major possibilities, with the exception of the most critical 7.Qg4 line which receives special coverage in Volume Two of the series. Volume Three will deal with the Tarrasch, Advance and all of White¿s other options.

Lars Schandorff¿s two volumes on 1.d4 were celebrated by reviewers and grandmasters. GM Simen Agdestein said: ¿I have recently been reading Lars Schandorff¿s Playing 1.d4 books, thinking that it cannot possibly get more instructive than this.¿ Meanwhile, GM Boris Avrukh¿s verdict was simple: ¿Lars, I want to play your book.¿Now Schandorff switches sides and offers a top-class Semi-Slav repertoire against 1.d4. The Semi-Slav strikes the perfect balance of ambition and soundness, which has made it popular at every level up to and including the world championship. Black needs to know his stuff, but Schandorff is the ideal guide to make the learning process a pleasure.

Ever since its inception in 2008, the Grandmaster Repertoire series has produced some of the world's best opening books, but an elite repertoire with 1.e4 has always been missing--until now.

Negi takes the established main lines and injects them with his own innovative ideas, making the repertoire a nightmare for Sicilian players and an essential addition to the library of every ambitious player.

The Nimzo-Indian is one of the most trusted chess defences against 1.d4. It has been used in World Chess Championship matches by Fischer, Karpov, Kasparov, Kramnik, Anand and Carlsen. The Nimzo-Indian combines fast development with a solid pawn structure and great flexibility, which is why it appealed to champions with such varied styles.

The Sicilian Defence is the most combative way to meet 1.e4, but Black s hopes of reaching his favourite Dragon, Najdorf or Sveshnikov are often quashed at an early stage. In Grandmaster Repertoire 6A Beating the Anti-Sicilians, grandmaster Vassilios Kotronias provides full coverage against White s many attempts to steer the game away from Open Sicilian territory. Beginning with sidelines on move 2, and extending all the way to variations tested at World Championship level, the author provides expert recommendations against all White s sensible deviations (as well as some not-so-sensible ones!) with specific advice tailored for 2...d6, 2...e6 and 2...Nc6 players.Be it tackling Wing and Morra Gambits head first, outmanoeuvring 2.c3 and Closed aficionados, bashing 3.Bb5 or ruining the Rossolimo, this book contains everything you need to make your opponents wish they had played 2.Nf3 and 3.d4!"

The repertoire will be completed in Volumes 2A and 2B.
