A Spanish Repertoire for Black provides a world-class repertoire against 1.e4. In his previous book, Beating the Open Games, Mihail Marin dealt with White's options up to 3.Bb5. Now Marin provides all the answers for Black after 4.Ba4.
Such a high-level repertoire has rarely been published for a mass audience before, as grandmasters usually prefer to keep their secrets. In fact, Marin's understanding is so renowned that he has worked as a second for the top woman player in the world, Judit Polgar. The complexity of the material could have been daunting, but Marin is also a master of explaining profound ideas to a wide audience.
