Many chess players would like to play the main lines of the Spanish Opening with Black, but fear answering 1.e4 with 1...e5 because of Whites great variety of deviations. Acclaimed author Mihail Marin presents a repertoire for Black against the Open Games. This means providing an answer to openings such as the Scotch, Giuoco Piano, Vienna, Spanish Exchange Variation and even the notorious Kings Gambit.Marin reveals his own opening repertoire, which he prepared for high-level international competition. But besides giving concrete answers to any worries players might have about facing the Open Games, Marin uses his renowned skills to lucidly convey the main strategic ideas. This way Marin has succeeded in writing a middlegame book disguised as an opening book. No chess player can read this book without being entertained and educated at the same time.
