The series "Self-instruction manual for chess openings. Modern practice" is intended for a wide range of chess lovers (from II category to CMS) and is dedicated to the most popular openings in modern practice.
We hope that the books in this series will help readers learn how to play their favorite openings well, while at the same time saving them from the danger of "drowning" in the flow of opening information.
Unlike ordinary opening reference books, which contain only a summary of known variations, the Self-Teacher aims to simultaneously reveal to the reader the ideological content of chess principles, demonstrate the inextricable connection between the opening and subsequent actions in the middlegame, and introduce the reader to typical plans, techniques and combinational subtleties characteristic of the opening being studied. Almost every new tournament introduces significant clarifications into the theory of this opening..
