Chess €¢ Winning With The Bishop's Opening by Gary Lane (1993)

One of the most solid openings in chess, White can play the Colle(1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 e6 4.Bd3) and give himself a simple, solid setup with clear strategic purposes. The flexibility allow White to go for different kinds of attacks. He can play the Koltanowsky 5.c3 and aim to bolster the center, or play the Zukertort 5.b3 and fianchetto the bishop on the long diagonal with pieces aimed at the Black Kingside.

A single-volume guide to playing and winning with the Torre Attack. Each of Black's major defences is considered in turn, with complete illustrative games used throughout.

The Nimzo-Indian Defence is one of Black's most dynamic ways of countering 1 d4. From the outset of the game Black seeks to create pawn weaknesses in his opponent's position to be exploited in the middlegame.
