The great Russian Imperial master, a giant of his days, Mikhail Tchigorin is best remembered today for this defense to the Queen's Gambit, which takes the fight to the White player from move two: 1. d4 d5 2. c4 Nc6! Tchigorin (as the old spelling has his name) was a forerunner of the Hypermodern movement. It is hard to say whether the opening is good or bad; it is rarely played not because it is hopelessly bad, but because is hard to play. Most tournament players prefer openings that do not require such heroism. This was written by legendary American grandmaster and author, Andrew Soltis, back in the day when he was a "mere" international master. Softcover, descriptive notation. We combine shipping!
