The pawn thrust g2 - g4 is often so counter-intuitive that it's a perfect way to confuse your opponents and disrupt their position. It has become, on all levels of play, a popular and attractive way to fight for the initiative. Grandmaster Dmitry Kryakvin owes a substantial part of his successes as a chess player to the g2 - g4 attack. In this book he shows how it can be used to defeat a number of important Closed Defences: the Dutch, the Queen's Gambit, the Anti-Nimzo Indian, the King's Indian and the Slav. With lots of instructive examples Kryakvin explains the ins and outs of the attack on the g-file: the typical ways to gain and keep the momentum, and the manoeuvres that will maximize your opponent's problems. After working with this book you will be able to use this modern battering ram to win more games.
