{"product_id":"how-to-play-against-1d4-palliser","title":"How to Play Against 1d4 - Palliser","description":"Finding a suitable defense to 1 d4 isn't an easy task, especially if you don't have endless time available to study all the latest theoretical developments. If you choose fashionable openings, it's imperative to keep pace with modern theory if you want to succeed with Black. Those who are unwilling to become slaves to opening theory need not fear - this book provides a solution. Renowned opening expert Richard Palliser advocates the Czech Benoni, an uncomplicated, low-maintenance but effective opening in which the importance of understanding ideas and tactics far outweighs the necessity to memorize move sequences. Palliser examines in detail both the Czech Benoni and the closely related Closed Benoni with 1 d4 c5, and he also explains what to do against various Anti-Benoni options.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCzech Benoni and 1 d4 c5 repertoires for Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains key positional and tactical ideas for both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for improvers, club players and tournament players\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e256 Pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished: Everyman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished: August 2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eReviews\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstanding is definitely the key to success in these rare Benoni lines.
