Play the Catalan 1
Discontinued
The catalan opening is played in events of all standards. A notable feature of its development is the appearance of new, genuinely gambit ideas which have complicated and enriched the strategy of the opening and reflect the modern approach to chess. This volume analyses the so called Open Variation which has been the most popular in recent years - 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 g3 d5 4 Bg2 Be7 (as well as 4 ... Bb4+ and 4 ... c6), and a group of variations where the Catalan Opening is obtained from the Queen's Gambit after 1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6 followed by 3 Nf3 Nf6 4 g3, or 4 Nc3 Nf6 4 g3, or 3 g3.
