Dealing With d4 Deviations: Fighting The Trompowsky, Torre, Blackmar Diemer, Stonewall, Colle And Other Problem Openings

This has been one of the best opening books for me. I've books about the opening which are discussed in this book, and here you finally get to see the good lines for black. In books about these d4 deviations you usually only see the bad lines for black and the best ones hidden to make the openings look good. In al the lines John gives black is playing simply the kind of positions the white player doesn't want and usually in the end you get a = position or even =+. The recommended line against the trompovsky for example was very usefull for me 2..e6! after that you get good positons and avoid a lot of white's preparation.

This book fills an enormous void in chess literature.
