The Modernized Barry Attack

The Barry Attack is somewhat defensive-looking from the start.    It tempts Black forward, provocatively.    The Barry Attack is, after all, a little rebellious, flouting, as it does, all those common sense development rules.    Perhaps your game needs a good shot of tactics to boost your results ¿ it¿s one of the fastest ways to improve and this is true not only for young players.    If your opponent plays an early move order that¿s not in this book such as 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. c5 or 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 for example, the good news is that Black will be forced to transpose back into the mass of material.    This super repertoire keeps Black under pressure. Any reasonable opening set-up can work wonders for White or Black if they know it well.
