Grandmaster Repertoire 17

The Classical Slav provides a sound and active repertoire based on 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 dxc4.
White’s early deviations from move 3 onwards are also covered. GM Boris Avrukh has had the Slav in his repertoire throughout his career and has never lost a serious game with it.

Grandmaster Repertoire 20

Lars Schandorff’s two volumes on 1.d4 were celebrated by reviewers and grandmasters. GM Simen Agdestein said: “I have recently been reading Lars Schandorff’s Playing 1.d4 books, thinking that it cannot possibly get more instructive than this.” Meanwhile, GM Boris Avrukh’s verdict was simple: “Lars, I want to play your book".

Aus dem Vorwort:

The second part of the Complete Slav contains all systems that were not presented In the first part, namely a popular variation 3. Sf3 Sf6 4. Sc3 dxc4 and also all systems after 4...e6. Not to mention the possibilities such as 5. g3 or 5. Db3, I have presented lines after 5. e3 Sbd7 – for starters Meran (6. Ld3 dxc4 7.Lxc4 b5) and Anti-Meran (6. Dc2 Ld6) lines.
Also the variations rising after 5. Lg5 are examined deeply, namely Moscow (5... h6 Lxf6) and Anti-Moscow (5... h6 Lh4) variations as well as Botvinnik system 5... dxc4.
A possibility to cover such a multitude of systems in only one book (it was possible to create even 5 tomes) occurred only because I have tried to shorten the lines almost to the bare minimum.
