Playing the Petroff offers an ideal solution for practical players. GM Swapnil Dhopade presents a compact but bulletproof repertoire for blacks, based on the games of Petroff's leading specialists such as Gelfand, Caruana and Kramnik. This book also provides guidance on how to deal with moves 1.e4 e5 where White avoids 2.Cf3, with a particular focus on "Anti-Petroff" lines such as 2.Ac4.
If you want a world-class repertoire but you lack a world-class memory, this is the book for you.
Swapnil Dhopade is a young Indian Grandmaster and a renowned coach, including the Indian women's team. His other students include Raunak Sadhwani, who achieved the GM title at the age of 13.
