1.e4 vs Minor Defences by Parimarjan Negi
The fifth volume of the Grandmaster Repertoire - 1.e4 series provides a top-class repertoire against the Alekhine, Scandinavian, Pirc and Modern Defenses, plus various offbeat alternatives Black may try. Negi's latest work continues the winning formula of his previous books: the 1.e4 repertoire is founded on established main lines and turbo-charged with the innovative ideas of a world-class theoretician, making this an essential addition to the library of every ambitious chess player."This book is an extremely well-worked out grandmaster repertoire that balances engine and correspondence experience with a good feeling for the practical playerI try and hold myself in a bit more nowadays with 5-star ratings, but this one deserves it! 5 stars!" -- GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess
"The quality of the analysis is impressive and there are plenty of original suggestions backed up by concrete lines and analysis which will arm the white player with much material. There is plenty of explanatory text that elucidates the main positional ideas in each chapter. The author pays particular attention to move order considerations which are particularly pertinent in the Pirc/Modern complex of openings… The suggested repertoire is generally dynamic and attacking but there are plenty of lines where white nurses a space advantage and positional pressure.
My conclusion is that this is an excellent repertoire book for white, packed full of top quality analysis and much original analysis." -- Richard Webb, British Chess News
"In typical fashion, Negi's coverage is aggressive, thorough and cutting-edge." -- Sean Marsh, CHESS magazine
