Preface
The Slav Defence is currently the most popular closed
opening, appearing in the opening repertoire of the overwhelming majority of top
class grandmasters. A competitive chess player playing 1.d4 faces the opening in
almost every tournament, and for Black it can be used in just about every second
game.
Over a number of years I have played various different lines of the opening
with both colours and analysed it both individually and in cooperation with many
well-known grandmasters. Now I have decided to give the opportunity to anyone
who feels like it to enter a grandmaster's laboratory and see my professional
approach to various opening lines.
Measures have been taken lest the work should swell to enormous size. Textual
annotations to variations and evaluations are not given throughout the book but
only in cases where I thought it to be important and not too obvious. As for the
rest, a conventional abridged evaluation system has been used.
All noteworthy lines have been analysed in detail. Also many novelties have
been introduced with enclosed analyses. At the same time many weak and
inessential moves, although in some cases with a considerable praxis, have been
evaluated briefly.
I will be glad if my work turns out to be a good aid in learning the Slav
Defence - an exceptionally interesting opening, rich in both strategic and
tactical ideas. This book is rated for skilled chess players. The theoretical
material is given as of July 2012.
