Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Many players approach the opening with a desire to learn sharp lines and out-prepare their opponents. This is an exhausting task, which gets more difficult by the day. However, there is a different strategy which is more practical and designed for longevity. This is to develop an advanced understanding of typical positions. Such a policy is the best approach against different move orders and new ideas. Milos Pavlovic's 1 e4 repertoire is based on lines where an understanding of plans and strategic ideas is more important than rote memorisation. The focus is on important positional considerations such as: - How to make the pieces work most effectively with a given pawn structure - How to spot weak points and exploit them - How to limit the opponent's counterplay Opening Repertoire: Strategic Play with 1 e4 guides the reader through a complete repertoire for White.

Every annotated game is a lesson on typical middlegame plans, based on the instructive question-and-answer method.…

Bg5 Ne4 3. h4! a favourite of 'Mr Trompowsky', the four-time British Champion, Julian Hodgson. Leading to unusual and rich middlegame play, this variation maintains its venom in 2024. …
