Book 12 of the series “Opening for White According to Anand” is devoted to one of the main lines of the Sicilian Defence.

The famous grandmaster Victor Bologan (Elo 2690) offers a complete Black repertoire based on "probably the most romantic response to 1 d4" (Bologan) - the King's Indian Defence.

This book of Chess Stars offers an entirely new approach to the Four Pawns Attack against the King’s Indian Defence (KID).

The long awaited last but one volume of "Opening for White according to Anand" is now available.

This hefty book contains enormous quantity of information about one of the most popular Sicilians lately - the Dragon.

The Petrosian System Against the QID deals with a reliable and interesting system (1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 b6 4. a3) which has been played by most of the world’s elite, starting with ex-world champion Tigran Petrosian. It is not a repertoire book though. Beliavsky&Mikhalchishin present an objective work which discusses the possibilities of both sides.

Bulgarian GM Delchev takes a new look at his Sicilian repertoire. After a short pause, in 2008 he returned to his pet line, the Taimanov system. The result of his work is this Second edition of The Safest Sicilian. Delchev proposes a sound yet aggressive approach, based on the following move order: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cd4 4.Nd4 Nc6 5.Nc3 Qc7.

The book presents a Black repertoire with 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 Nc6, based on the most aggressive Sveshnikov lines. It also covers The Rossolimo (3 Bb5) and Alapin (3 c3).

"Currently I do not see any serious theoretical problems for Black" claims Kolev in the foreword. In the Rossolimo the authors also share completely new ideas, developed by them.

This is a completely new book, which comes to replace the first edition of 2001.

It covers the Black Knights’ Tango, Romanishin Variation, Queen’s Indian English, Hedgehog Defence English, Double Fianchetto Defence, Semi-Tarrasch Defence.

The author of The Endgame Marat Makarov is a Grandmaster and he has been practicing as a coach for more than 20 years. Among his pupils is the cham­pion of USSR and Russia WGM Julia Demina.

The latest book of the grand opening saga is devoted mostly to the Sveshnikov system.

Alexey Dreev is one of the most popular contemporary Russian grandmasters. He is famous for his deep understanding of chess and fine endgame technique. Many of his games are milestones in the theory of the Slav Defence, the King's Indian Defence and others.

In this volume the 14th world champion Khalifman continues the analysis of the Sicilian Defence. The first part covers variations arising after the moves 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 and especially the Kalashnikov. In answer to 2...Nc6, just like after the majority of the basic lines, he recommends the most principled answer for White – 3.d4.

This ambitious book aims to arm you with a complete repertoire against 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3. It is based on the Najdorf system with Black employing the ...e5 approach against most major choices of White. The only exception is the open fianchetto variation 6.g3, where 6...e6 is the main line.

The first part of the book analyzes some seldom played lines on move two for Black. The author devotes special attention to 2…b6, which is in fact much better than its reputation as well as to the Nimzovic – Rubinstein system 2…Nf6, in answer to which Khalifman recommends 3.Nc3, after which the game usually transposes to the main lines in most of the cases.

This book is devoted to the contemporary variations of the classical system of the King’s Indian Defence. The author classifies into that group the lines in which after: 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.d4 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0, Black plays 7...exd4, 7...Na6, or 7...Nc6.

The first volume of the extremely popular series "Opening for White According to Kramnik" was published six years ago. Now 14th world champion Alexander Khalifman presents the audience with two entirely new books.

Volume 1a covers the Old Indian Defence, Anti-Gruenfeld, and less popular lines of the King’s Indian Defence.

In his new book GM Sakaev analises all major systems after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4 Nxc3 6.bxc3 Bg7 7.Bc4. He also pays considerable attention to unusual, but tricky schemes as 7...0-0 8.Ne2 Qd7 and 8...Nc6. The author shows how Black could equalise when White deviates from the most testing variations, like in the case of 7...с5 8.Ne2 Nc6 9.Be3 0-0 and now 10.Rc1 or 10.Rb1.

Volume seven of the series Opening for White according to Anand 1.e4 are analyzed one of the most popular variations of the French Defence - the Winawer system (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4).

These short explanations are going to convince you that Black’s move 3...Bb4 disrupts immediately the natural balance on the board.

volume covers 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 de4, 3...Nf6 and other moves. Whenever there are drawbacks to something, there are advantages to it as well. White’s space edge can be neutralized by timely undermining of his centre. Black’s light squared bishop can be exchanged at some moment, meanwhile there arises a question whether it is really so bad after all...?

This book is devoted to openings (to put it mildly?) rather exotic. In fact, most of the chess-professionals consider the systems that we have analyzed in this volume as simply incorrect. It is maybe the Alekhine Defence, which can be spared such definite evaluation, but this would be probably only due to the reputation of this outstanding chess-genius.

The fourth book of the series is devoted to opening schemes, which arise after the moves 1.e4 d6, or 1.e4 g6. These systems have proved their right of existence, despite the numerous attempts to refute them once and for all. The positions are so diverse strategically and so rich tactically that they deserve a separate volume. Black avoids early clashes and narrows his ?sphere of influence? to only three ranks. However his harmonious development enables him to attack often White?s powerful centre successfully.

Efim Bogoljubow was one of the great players of the first half of twentieth century.

Over a period of more than 15 years he was permanently among the challengers for the world title. He won twice the Soviet championship as well as several super tournaments against an impressive field of rivals.

The third volume of the popular series "Opening for White according to Anand -1.e4" deals with the Caro-Kann Defence. It has the reputation as the opening of the chess-academics.

Capablanca, Botvinnik, Petrosian and Karpov - this list of great chess-champions that have been life-long devotees of the Caro-Kann Defence can be easily extended.

This is the first and unique book for the moment dedicated to the world champion GM Antoaneta Stefanova. It follows her creative path from the age of sixteen until the conquest of the world chess crown.

The newest book of the series "Chess Stars Openings" is devoted to the enterprising and quite original and unexplored possibility for White - 1.e4 c5 2.a3!?
