-- Showcases lines that no competitive player -- at club or tournament level -- can afford to be without
In the first of two volumes on the Dragon Sicilian, authors Eduard Gufeld and Oleg Stetsko present detailed coverage of the Rauzer variation, showing how it can lead to an exciting cut-and-thrust game.

Ultimate Dragon Volume One

Covers all lines other than the Rauzer; For club and tournament players; The Dragon has attracted World Champions Garry Kasparov and Mikhail Botvinnik; In this second part of their detailed work on the Dragon Sicilian, the authors present coverage, to date, of all lines other than the Rauzer, which is dealt with in Volume One. These lines range from an unhurried "Classical" development of pieces to the early pawn rush f4 and e5 seen in the "Levenfish Variation". Here, compared to the Rauzer, there is a greater concentration of play in the centre of the board where Black is ready to fight his opponent blow for blow. On the other hand, if need be, Black can react to any kingside offensive with a counterattack on the other wing, making full use of the open c-file for his rook and the long h8-a1 diagonal for his mighty Dragon bishop. Whether playing the White or Black side, no competitive player - at club or tournament level - can afford to be without this book.

Ultimate Dragon Volume Two

A single-volume guide to playing and winning with the Torre Attack. Each of Black's major defences is considered in turn, with complete illustrative games used throughout.

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.
