Chess Explained books provide an understanding of an opening and the
middlegames to which it leads, enabling you to find the right moves and plans in
your own games. It is as if you were sitting at the board with a chess coach
answering your questions about the plans for both sides, the ideas behind
particular moves, and what specific knowledge you need to have.
Belying its solid classical appearance, the Semi-Slav is one of Blacks most
aggressive responses when White opens with the queens pawn. The Meran is its
traditional main line, and often leads to chaotic positions of immense strategic
and tactical richness. This is territory where the player who is better prepared
and has a superior feel for the nuances will typically emerge victorious, even
against a stronger opponent. Vera draws upon decades of personal experience to
explain the underlying logic of the Meran and related lines, and to pick out the
key features of positions that to the untrained eye might appear random and
unfathomable. In addition to discussing all major lines after 5. e3, Vera also
covers many subtle issues of move-order, which are of great importance when
trying to steer the game into the desired channels.
