Scandinavian Defense - 2nd, Revised Enlarged Edition: The Dynamic 3...Qd6

Scandinavian Defense - 2nd, Revised Enlarged Edition: The Dynamic 3...Qd6

A Very Dangerous Weapon!
In 2001, Correspondence Master Michael Melts' book on the dynamic 3...Qd6 variation of the Scandinavian Defense grabbed the attention of chess world. 
It began to be played regularly at all levels. Novice and Intermediate players found it easy to learn and understand, while powerful grandmasters such as Sergei Tiviakov realized it was an excellent line in which Black could play fearlessly - and soundly - for a win.
Now, in the second edition of The Scandinavian Defense: The Dynamic 3...Qd6, the author has added a tremendous amount of new analysis, insight and practical recommendations.
This revised and enlarged second edition will provide both a solid foundation for meeting 1.e4 while at the same time allowing considerable room for creativity and original play.
From the Foreword by Australian Grandmaster Ian Rogers:
"Melts' serious study of a serious opening shows that at the moment not much need scare Black. Easy to play and theoretically sound - how many openings can boast that?"
Edward Scimia, About.com:
"I highly recommend 'Scandinavian Defense: The Dynamic 3...Qd6' for any club player who has struggled to find a line against 1. e4 they feel comfortable with. The material in this book provides more than enough ammunition to allow the average player security against just about anything White throws at them. Given the amount of effort that Michael Melts has put into this text, I have no doubt there will be plenty of stronger players who will want a copy too." 
Carsten Hansen, ChessCafe:
"As an example of how comprehensive this update is, there is only one main game that remains from the first edition, the rest are new (..) The abundance of original material will take the theory of this variation a great step further."

The Modern Morra Gambit, Second Edition: A Dynamic Weapon against the Sicilian

The Modern Morra Gambit, Second Edition: A Dynamic Weapon against the Sicilian

When the first edition appeared more than five years ago, FM Hannes Langrock's groundbreaking work breathed new life into a gambit that conventional wisdom viewed as no more than a nuisance for Black.   A nuisance?! Au contraire! As noted by German GM Karsten Mueller, "The Morra Gambit is well-suited for players striving for tactical and uncompromising play, as White's better development often leads to a dangerous initiative. Furthermore, traditional Sicilian players may be taken by surprise and remove

Dynamic Chess Strategy: Low-priced Edition of a Modern Classic

Dynamic Chess Strategy: Low-priced Edition of a Modern Classic

In the battle of chess ideas, the publication in 1991 of Dynamic Chess Strategy was a defining moment.  Before Mihai Subas exceptional book, chess writers had neglected one of the most important factors of a chess position: its dynamic potential. Suba demonstrated that the traditional concept of improving the position was often static and irrelevant, and that classical strategy, if applied dogmatically, can prevent you from finding the right plan and its subsequent moves. 'Dynamic Chess Strategy' won t
