From relative obscurity to one of Whites favourite queens pawn openings, the
rise in popularity of the Trompowsky Attack over the last decade or so has been
quite staggering. Largely inspired by a group of English players headed by
Julian Hodgson and Michael Adams, the "Tromp" has been enthusiastically taken up
by club players and Grandmasters alike. Even the World number one Garry Kasparov
has tried his hand at this dynamic opening.
The Trompowsky is an ideal weapon for club and tournament players. From as
early as move two White stamps his authority on the game and gives Black
difficult problems to solve. While it is true that the opening has now built up
a reasonable amount of theory, there is relatively little to learn compared to
more mainstream openings and still much scope for original play.
In this book Grandmaster Nigel Davies presents the reader with up-to-date
coverage of this ever-expanding opening. Using model games for both White and
Black, he studies the key strategies and tactics associated with the
Trompowsky.
