Gruenfeld Defense - Russian Variations
100 pages, paperback, Chess Enterprises, 2. edition 1988
Discontinued
The Russian Variations (4 Nf3 Bg7 5 Qb3)have become a popular weapon against the Grünfeld Defence. Anatoly Karpov used it very successfully in the 1986 World Championship match, when all other methods were failing to achieve an advantage against Kasparov's stubborn resistance. In this substantial revision of his 1985 book, Eric Schiller provides a complete repertoire against the Grünfeld, based on the 5 Qb3 lines but also including lesser known variations combining the Exchange Variation with the idea of Qd1-b3. The variations are illustrated by many complete games, including 15 fully annotated examples.
