Description / Playing the Petroff

The Petroff Defence is well known to be one of Black’s soundest and theoretically robust responses to 1.e4, having been tried and tested by a host of World Champions and other elite players. This book shows how you too can harness the power of this top-class opening.

Playing the Petroff offers an ideal solution for practical players. Swapnil Dhopade is a young Indian GM and theoretician who presents a compact yet bulletproof repertoire for Black drawing on the games of leading Petroff specialists such as Gelfand Caruana and Kramnik. This book also provides plenty of guidance on how to deal with 1.e4 e5 games where White avoids 2.Nf3 with particular focus on ‘Anti-Petroff’ lines such as 2.Bc4.

Swapnil Dhopade is an Indian Grandmaster and also a renowned coach.
