An opening repertoire for black (Club player's library)

Grandmasters Marovis and Parma show how they tackle the problem of choosing a suitable opening repertoire for use with the black pieces and how to gain an understanding of the chosen systems. The method of examining, in brief, the backbone of an opening and then looking at how it is developed in the games of the leading masters is a tried and true one which avoids bogging down the reader in a mass of detail and is ideally suited to club players.
