1.d4! The Chess Bible by IM Armin Juhasz
Mastering Queen's Pawn Structures

A fully theoretically updated new work on how to play these most important Queens Pawn Structures. This book aims to provide a complete overview of a 1.d4 repertoire against five main openings (Kings Indian Defense, Grnfeld Defense, Slav Defense, Benoni Defense, and Catalan Opening), offering analysis of classical games and typical tactical motifs to provide an in-depth understanding of the associated middlegames. A concluding chapter explores typical endgames that are likely to arise from 1.d4.

Each chapter includes a thorough discussion of a particular opening, answering questions such as what types of players choose it, which world champions played it, or how games typically proceed afterwards.

• Classical games by grandmasters
• Annotated games to demonstrate how White can play 1.d4
• Examples and analysis
• Typical tactical motifs
• Exercises for individual practice

This book will give you a comprehensive understanding of the chosen openings. Unlike many other books with a similar profile, it goes beyond pure theory and in addition to giving a great deal of practical advice, it touches on issues such as sample games, typical tactical strikes and, in the last chapter, endgames. On top of all this, a homework section enables you to immerse yourself in a given topic and achieve an in-depth understanding of it in your own time.

This book isrecommend to any player who wants to learn more about closed openings, adopt a new approach to chess and build up a thorough and sophisticated repertoire. These openings have been tested by students with good results and is suitable for anyone with an Elo rating from 1600-2500.
