Summary

The Chigorin Defence (1 d4 d5 2 c4 Nc6) is a dynamic and provocative response to White's 1 d4. Rather than set out a defensive stall with systems based on moves such as ...e6 and ...c6, Black prefers to initiative immediate piece play in the centre.

The Chigorin Defence: Move by Move by Jimmy Liew

The Chigorin Defence (1 d4 d5 2 c4 Nc6) is a dynamic and provocative response to White's 1 d4. Rather than set out a defensive stall with systems based on moves such as ...e6 and ...c6, Black prefers to initiative immediate piece play in the centre.
Liew isn't afraid to examine White's more critical tries, against which he has more than the odd twist ready, while throughout good use is made of the series' question-and-answer format--CHESS Magazine; Players between 1400-2200 are likely to benefit most from this book. If you have an active style and need a defense against a d-pawn opening, you should not underestimate the Chigorin – armed with this book, you will make such an underestimation a risky activity for your next opponent. --- Devin Camenares, ChessCafe.com
