Too many chess players adopt an unnecessarily defensive approach with the Black pieces when they should be more ambitious and strive immediately for double-edged positions with winning chances.
Adorjan offers concrete opening variations and illustrative games designed to achieve this, alongside a philosophy to generate a positive state of mind when entering a battle.
Based on the best-selling Black is OK! this title is the third volume in a series designed to build on the 1988 cult classic's success. Continuing Adorjan's crusade, started in the revolutionary 1960s, it encourages players not only to win more games with Black but also to enjoy themselves in the process!
Grandmaster Andras Adorjan has represented Hungary in numerous Olympiads and is a former World Championship candidate. He has served as trainer to Gary Kasparov and Peter Leko, who was a world title challenger in 2003. He lives in Hungary.
