Description
1...b6: Move by Move (Download)
Sometimes called "Owen's Defense", Black's 1...b6 move against anything is a dynamic system which allows Black to steer the game into relatively uncharted territory, where most White players are unable to relax and rely on their opening book knowledge. A major attraction of 1...b6 is that it can be employed against all of White's mainline openings, including 1.e4, 1.d4, 1.Nf3 and 1.c4. In this book, International Master Cyrus Lakdawala examines all the important variations after 1...b6 and, using illustrative games, he explains the main positional and tactical ideas for both sides. This ebook on the Queenside fianchetto provides answers to all the key questions and tells you everything you need to know about successfully playing 1...b6.

Flexible opening - fantastic book
I'm an intermediate (1500 ELO) player who didn't know how to react properly for such classical openings like e4 or d4. After my studies with this book I get rather equal positions and I can just play chess without worring about my oponents bigger knowlage. I also like the style of this book. It's very curious and interesting. I have to admit that sometimes I had to use a dictionary to translate some sophisticated words but it was worth it. ( I'm Polish and English isn't my native language). To sum up: I recommend this book to anyone, not only because of it's interesting topic but also because the author has a big writing talent what makes this book really valuable.
