Ultimately, most of us play to win and, we'll try anything legal, including playing a "system" which often can wriggle into a King's Pawn opening (French, Pirc, Philidor, Caro-Kann, or Pirc Defence) by beginning with 1. d4! Seven chapters concentrate on avoiding the Richter-Veresov proper. However, seventeen chapters do concentrate on a straightforward method of play which can involve excitement, combinations, and daring as much as any other chess opening. Over 550 game citations are offered, including 21 by master Veresov and 10 by master Richter. Modern grandmaster treatments are seen by Mestrovic, Miles, and Morozevich—the M&Ms. This comprehensive 1999 study is the first since Bellin's 1983 work.

3.0 out of 5 stars
nice legs - shame about the face,
By simon smith (warley, west midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Richter-Veresov System: The Chameleon Chess Repertoire 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nc3 d5.3 Bg5 (Paperback)
This is a well laid out attractive book. It is obvious that alot of work has gone in to it.You can tell the Thinkers Press take alot of pride in their books.. What is disappointing is the opening itself. I knew little of this opening before I got the book..the statistics given for the variation 1/d4 Nf6 2/Nc3 d5 3/Bg5 c5 gives, based on 159 games, 25 % wins for white and 40 % for black ! Not very encouraging for a supposed repatoire weapon
