Opening Repertoire The English

En ny stor og solid repertoarbok for hvit med Engelsk 1 c4, og med gjennomgående helt annerledes variantvalg enn i Marins tre bøker. Cummings foreskriver flere steder Sf3 fulgt av d4 og overgang til d4-åpning eller siciliansk.

På 1 c4 e5 bruker Cummings 2 Sc3 i stedet for 2 g3 og på 1 c4 c5 2 Sf3 fulgt av d4. Mot kongeindisk-oppstilling fra svart foreskriver Cummings rett og slett overgang til Petrosjan-systemet i kongeindisk for hvit.

Boka har blant annet gode gjennomganger av aktuelle trekkomkastninger som vi vet at mange motspillere kan bli trikset og satt ut av.

Forlagets omtale:

The English (1 c4) is a fine choice for players who like to enjoy a wide variety of middlegame positions. One of its great attractions is flexibility and diversity: White can play either aggressively or quietly, and the resultant middlegame positions are rich in both strategy and tactics.

In this book, International Master David Cummings presents the reader with a complete English repertoire. The English is, by its nature, highly transpositional. Black can opt for a King’s Indian-type set-up, a Queen’s Gambit Declined-type set-up or aim for a reversed Sicilian position. David identifies promising methods to meet all Black’s main options and efficient methods to deal with awkward sidelines.

The English often leads to situations where there are opportunities to employ tricky move orders. David explains how to navigate through these successfully and avoid any unfortunate pitfalls. This book tells you everything you need to know about playing the English.
