A Complete Defense for Black

by Raymond D. Keene, Byron Jacobs

Have you ever wished you had an all-purpose chess move that you could play against anything White could throw at you? Something that was both sound, aggressive, and little-known? This chess book provides the answer with 1...Nc6. Against 1.e4 this is Nimzowitch's "other" defense, a favorite with maverick players such as GM Tony Miles. Against 1.d4 it has become a respectable opening in the last decade, being used as a surprise weapon by GM Jon Speelman. Study this book, and you need never be forced down your opponent's theoretical main lines again!
