The Catalan is a sophisticated and wide-ranging opening system which is popular at all levels of chess. In recent years it has been catapulted into the limelight by Vladimir Kramnik, who has revitalized it with many new ideas and has utilized it with great success against the world’s strongest players – on occasion making it look like a forced win for White! In this book, Grandmaster Nigel Davies presents a major study of this important opening. Drawing upon his wealth of personal experience with the Catalan, Davies provides a reliable and dynamic repertoire for White, covers the keys plans for both sides, and tackles crucial modern day issues such as move orders.

Focusing on the Grünfeld Defence, this book offers a comprehensive repertoire for Black against 1 d4, favored by world champions like Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov. It simplifies the dense theory surrounding this hypermodern opening, providing consistent strategies and concepts to empower players. Nigel Davies navigates the complexities of the Grünfeld, including counter-strategies against the English and Réti openings. Each annotated game delivers valuable insights and instructive commentary on typical middlegame plans, enhancing the reader's confidence and understanding.
