series edited by R.G. Wade
The Leningrad school of chess, headed particularly by Vladimir Zak and Boris Spassky, have, over the past 30 years, developed 4 Bg5 as a weapon leading to complicated games against the Nimzo- Indian, 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 Bb4, the defence most favoured by grandmasters to take the sting out of White's queen's pawn opening.
Michael Macdonald-Ross, a leading English county (Kent) player, who lectures at the Open University, has for more than 20 years carefully collected and assessed all relevant games.
In this volume he presents a clear and authoritative selection of this material,
With some justification he strongly recommends White's use of the opening at all levels.
