Black is OK forever!
192 pages, paperback, Batsford Chess, 1. edition 2005
Discontinued
Playing with White pieces is generally considered an advantage in chess, much like the 'serve' in tennis. However, the independently minded Andras Adorjan, a colourful character both on and off the chessboard, thinks otherwise!
This 'rebel with a cause' has a sincere belief, backed up with a super-abundance of examples from his own rich tournament practice - including battles against Karpov, Petrosian, Spassky, Smyslov and Tal - that there are many 'positives' in playing Black. In this sequel to his two ground-breaking books Black is OK! and Black is Still OK!, Adorjan's inspiring games, all deeply annotated and pulsating with creative energy, illustrate the practical application, power and effectiveness of his world famous credo Black is OK!
Philosophical, psychological and statistical essays are also included, as are games by world-title challenger Peter Leko, trained by Adorjan for a number of years, who once defeated the pres Vladimir Kramnik using the Adorjan Gambit.
