Isolani — Beyond the Cliches

A completely reassessed study of the isolated queen's pawn structure. The book is based on modern examples, with a heavy accent on the practice of Magnus Carlsen. Two important chapters deal with:

— How to maintain the balance with an isolani when the opponent has successfully blockaded it and tamed the initial initiative;

— Examples on the theme "to create or not to create an isolani later into the game".
