The Modern Triangle

En ny bok om svarts lumske spillemåte i Dronninggambit: 1 d4 d5 2 c4 og deretter 2...e6 og 3...c6, eller omvendt i de to neste trekkene, og så gjerne dxc4. F.eks. Noteboom-varianten 2...e6 3 Sf3 c6 4 Sc3 dxc4 5 a4 Lb4 6 e3 b5 7 Ld2 a5 osv.

Forlagets egen omtale:

This book presents the Triangle set-up, which arises after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3/Nf3 c6.

This move order avoids many unpleasant systems for White, notably the Catalan, the Exchange Slav and the Botvinnik Variation. It leads to sharp strategically unbalanced play and brings Black excellent practical results.

En smakebit fra forordet:

What do we gain with the Tri-angle move order?

We avoid:the Slav and the Exchange Slav;the Botvinnik Variation;the tremendously popular Catalan;the Queen’s Gambit Declined; the Classical Carlsbad with 3...Nf6 4.cxd5.

We also set a psychological trap: Many players believe that the Noteboom is clearly better for White. This is a very old myth. As you will see, Black does not have any theoretical problems.
