The Petroff Defence.

London, B.T. Batsford, 1983. 21.6cm x 13.7cm. 254 pages. Original softcover. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear.

Petroff’s Defence is an excellent practical opening for club and tournament players. Black dictates the pattern of play from the second move, whilst retaining a fundamentally sound position. The early opening of a central file guarantees Black free piece play and often very interesting positions arise at an early stage of the game. The Petroff is reliable at the highest levels, and is a favourite of such great players as Anatoly Karpov, Jan Timman and Artur Yusupov.
