- Book 3 of 3: Sverre's Chess Openings: King's Pawn
black side of the Ruy Lopez have had to navigate the alternative lines
White can choose after 1 e4 e5. This book gives a choice of dynamic
systems for Black, to counter anything White might try in order to avoid
the Ruy Lopez - the Scotch, King's Gambit, Italian Game, Four Knights,
etc.
Noted opening writer Sverre
Johnsen has made extensive use of modern computer engines to overturn
ancient assessments, and has found new paths that breathe fresh life
into positions long thought to be resolved. It is striking how often in
his lines Black is able to seize the initiative.
- Gives a full repertoire for Black with 1 e4 e5 when White avoids the Ruy Lopez
- ...Bc5 and ...Nf6 systems both fully covered after 3 Bc4
- Each chapter starts with a 'Memorable Game' to inspire and set the scene
Johnsen has chosen sound lines that are likely to surprise opponents and deny them the type of game they are seeking. He has deeply researched correspondence sources and recent books on the Open Games, and employs similar methods to those that made his earlier opening works so popular among club-level players.
