Some might argue that it is steady rather than spectacular, but is this reputation totally deserved? Grandmaster Alexander Cherniaev disagrees, and in this book he has re-examined this ancient opening and the result is a “new” Old Indian. In this modern interpretation, he has introduced ambitious and aggressive ways for Black to play in the main lines. He constructs an improved version of a repertoire he has himself utilized with great success against grandmaster opposition. Using illustrative games, he studies the fundamental tactical and positional ideas for both sides, and also covers what to do if White avoids the Old Indian. This book tells you everything you need to know about playing the New Old Indian. </P><P style="MARGIN: 5px 0px 0px; FONT: 9px Helvetica; TEXT-ALIGN: left">* A Grandmaster's repertoire against 1 d4 </P><P style="MARGIN: 5px 0px 0px; FONT: 9px Helvetica; TEXT-ALIGN: left">* Full of new ideas and critical analysis </P><P style="MARGIN: 5px 0px 0px; FONT: 9px Helvetica; TEXT-ALIGN: left">* Illustrative games highlight key ideas </DIV></DIV>
