{"product_id":"opening-repertoire-the-slav-cyrus-lakdawala-9781781945964","title":"Opening Repertoire: The Slav","description":"The Slav (1 d4 d5 2 c4 c6) is a great choice against 1 d4 for players who are after a solid position from the opening but one that also contains dynamic possibilities. The pawn on c6 guarantees Black a firm foothold in the centre but there is also the ever-present possibility to capture on c4 and possibly even try to hold on to this pawn. The Slav is ideal for combining reliability with a promise for dynamic counterplay in the middlegame.   In Opening Repertoire: The Slav, highly experienced chess author and coach Cyrus Lakdawala guides the reader through the complexities of the Slav and carves out a repertoire for Black. He examines all aspects of this highly complex opening and provides the reader with well-researched, fresh, and innovative analysis. Each annotated game has valuable lessons on how to play the opening and contains instructive commentary on typical middlegame plans.   * A complete repertoire for Black against 1 d4.   * A question and answer approach provides an excellent study method.","brand":"Everyman Chess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51169927201056,"sku":"9781781945964","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781781945964.jpg?v=1769842754","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/opening-repertoire-the-slav-cyrus-lakdawala-9781781945964","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
