A user-friendly Black repertoire against 1.e4 e5 covering everything White might try except the Ruy Lopez.

Sverre Johnsen offers a carefully worked-out repertoire built around both ...Bc5 and ...Nf6 systems after 3.Bc4, with extensive coverage of all White's alternatives on move 3 and beyond. Drawing on extensive computer analysis with modern engines, he overturns old assessments and finds fresh paths through positions that were long thought to be solved. The lines often give Black surprisingly active play and the initiative. Each chapter opens with a 'Memorable Game' to set the strategic scene before the theory is presented. The author has been a noted opening writer and frequent collaborator on Gambit titles.
