In hardly any other opening does the second player get so many chances for an early
initiative as in the Chigorin Defence 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Nc6. Among its practitioners are
A.Morozevich and I.Miladinovic, as well as various other strong grandmasters.
Nevertheless, for a long time the Chigorin Defence had a dubious reputation. Only
the success of the players just mentioned, combined with the appearance of the first
German edition of this book in 2001 gradually changed this. This now thoroughly
updated essential work on the Chigorin offers 115 games scrutinised in detail,
explains all the strategic principles and therefore creates a solid theoretical
basis for the defence.
