5.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive treatment of *the* critical Dragon variant, January 18, 1998

This review is from: Soltis Variation of the Yugoslav Attack Pb (Studies in Contemporary Opening Theory) (Paperback)

This is one of the most comprehensive, insightful opening boooks I've ever had the pleasure of reading. It isn't a "beginner's book," but it provides all kinds of insights into this really sharp attacking defense. I especially like the way the author says, "Hey, just *play* the darn thing and start to rock 'n' roll." (Okay, that's a paraphrase ;-) I wish there was more stuff in it on how to meet other Dragon lines (9 O-O-O, for instance), but this is sure a heck of a lot more useful than Ward, Gufeld or Levy (which *was* good for it's time!) Look at it this way- Kasparov used this book to earn a million bucks vs. Anand...can't you use it for your next club game?
