The Modern Bogo 1.d4 e6: A Complete Guide for Black

Description

New In Chess, 2014. — 475 с. ISBN: 978-90-5691-495-0Two years ago the undersigned authors completed their work on The Modern French. This book was warrnly received by chess fans and experts alike. As a logical continuation we now present the book The Modern Bogo, with which we complete a fully fledged opening repertoire for black players. One of the questions that readers as well as the New In Chess editors asked during the course of writing this book, was what our recommendation is if after 1.d4 e6 White continues with 2.e 4.With our answer that we recommend 2.dS, entering the French Defence, the next dilemma was wh ether this book is only for people who play the French with black. of course, our reply is: no, it is not. More than 90 percent of the material is comprised of the popular theoretical lines in the Bogoand Nimzo-Indian, which are regularly reached via the move order 1.d4 ttJf6 2.c4 e 6. With this in mind, the book is aimed at a wide reading auditorium. However, because we recommend the move order 1.d4 e6, the book has a particular significance to fans of the French Defence. As mentioned, more than 90 percent of the lines are also reached through the standard transposition with 1.d4 ttJf6 2.c4 e 6. Less than 10 percent of the material covers lines without 2 .ttJf 6. As you will find in the book, with this course of action Black deprives White of many Nimzo-Indian lines, and also retains the possibility of striking at the centre while the knight is still on g 8. The resulting positions are very original already early in the opening.
