Description
The Slav Defence is one of Black's most reliable defences to the queen's pawn. Adopted by World Champions Alekhine and Euwe in the 1930s, it remains a popular choice among grandmasters and club players alike. In this book, Grandmaster Matthew Sadler explains the strategy and tactics behind the Slav, using model games for both sides to provide a thorough grounding in its key ideas. The author also surveys the trendy new variation of 1 d4 d5 2 c4 c6 3 Nf3 Nf6 4 Nc3 a6. By studying this book, readers can quickly and confidently start to use the Slav in their own games, gaining a deeper understanding of this perennial favourite.
