Petroff 2... Nf6 Playbook : 200 Opening Chess Positions For Black

The Petroff Defence 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 is well respected at all levels of chess play. This basic simple repertoire gives you a plan for Black after all the major 1.e4 e5 openings. Black attacks e4 with 2...Nf6 (instead of meekly defending e5 with 2...Nc6). Black's knight is perched on e4. It proudly occupies a central square in the white territory. Many top grandmasters follow this approach as Black. This opening is also called the Russian Defence after the prominent Russian chess master A.D. Petroff during the mid-1800s. This book is a tool to manage your opening preparation. The author examined thousands of games with millions of positions. He reduced this down to a few hundred of the most important positions you need to know after 1.e4 e5. Every position is selected based on what chess masters usually play, based on what has the highest performance rating, or based on the best chess engine evaluation. Each diagram has occurred in thousands of chess games, but some of the analysis that follows contains original ideas. This Playbook series tells you what to play. There are 200 key positions for Black based on what White most often plays. Five moves for Black are added below the diagrams. That gives you hundreds of moves for your preparation. Let the author guide you. It's your move in every diagram. Start well and you will win more games. Be prepared!
