The Grand Prix Attack: Essentials (Black Repertoire)

By Theo van Stratum

A Black repertoire against the Grand Prix Attack (1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4), the aggressive f4-based system White often chooses against the Sicilian. Covers the main ...g6 fianchetto and how to meet the Bb5 pin on c6, a classical ...e6 set-up with a central ...d5 break, an accelerated ...Nf6-and-...d5 counter, and the sharp 3...e5 counter-strike that trades queens early.
