Riassunto

The Old Indian Defence is considered to be a sound way for Black to meet 1 d4. Some might argue that it is steady rather than spectacular, but is this reputation totally deserved? Grandmaster Alexander Cherniaev disagrees, and in this book he has re-examined this ancient opening and the result is a “new” Old Indian. In this modern interpretation, he has introduced ambitious and aggressive ways for Black to play in the main lines. He constructs an improved version of a repertoire he has himself utilized with great success against grandmaster opposition. Using illustrative games, he studies the fundamental tactical and positional ideas for both sides, and also covers what to do if White avoids the Old Indian. This book tells you everything you need to know about playing the New Old Indian.

* A Grandmaster’s repertoire against 1 d4

* Full of new ideas and critical analysis

* Illustrative games highlight key ideas

Recensione:

By organizing the material around model games and plenty of prose the authors have made The New Old Indian accessible to a wide range of players from 1800 to 2400. It doesn't hurt that the proposed repertoire is not theoretical by today s standards nor does it lead to excessive simplification the one exception 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 d6 3.Nc3 e5 4.dxe5 dxe5 5.Qxd8+ Kxd8 is still quite rich in possibilities for both sides.
