Description
The Black Lion is a modern counterattacking system that can be a nightmare to face. It's an aggressive line that aims to take away White's initiative from an early stage, leaving opponents off balance. This approach is based on the Philidor Defence, but with a slightly different move order. Simon Williams guides you through two main treatments of the Black Lion: one that's riskier and another that's more tame. Both are thoroughly investigated in this book, providing instructive commentary and annotations from a player known for his attacking style. The Black Lion is an unusual system with little established theory, making it fun and exciting to play. As White, you can't rely on simple, safe moves, as the Black Lion is designed to be overrun. Instead, you'll need to think creatively to counter this aggressive line. With Williams' expertise, you'll learn how to whip up a dangerous attack using either treatment.
