1.D4

When Boris Avrukh released his 1.d4 repertoire in 2008, it revolutionized chess opening books. As GM Michael Adams said: The high-quality Grandmaster Repertoire series has taken this format to a completely different level. Or as GM Glenn Flear put it: This book represents nothing short of a technological advance in chess opening theory. Now Avrukh is back with an expanded, updated and revamped 1.d4 repertoire. Having covered the Catalan in the first instalment, Volume 1B supplies a top-class repertoire for White with the Queen s Gambit, covering defences such as the Slav, Queen s Gambit Accepted, Chigorin, Tarrasch and various others. The repertoire will be completed in Volumes 2A and 2B."
