Description
One copy left! Belying its solid classical appearance, the Semi-Slav is one of Black’s most aggressive responses when White opens with the queens pawn.
The Meran is its traditional main line, and often leads to chaotic positions of immense strategic and tactical richness. This is territory where the player who is better prepared and has a superior fee’ for the nuances will typically emerge victorious, even against a stronger opponent.
Vera draws upon decades of personal experience to explain the underlying logic of the Meran and related lines, and to pick out the key features of positions that to the untrained eye might appear random and unfathomable. In addition to discussing all major lines after 5 e3, Vera also covers many subtle issues of move order, which are of great importance when trying to steer the game into the desired channels.
