Description: There is a worldwide problem that is creating all sorts of difficulties. We have extended our shipping window to 20 days to give us time to solve these problems. Like the rest of the world we are hoping to get back to normal soon. Black starts the game down a tempo, the value of one move; when the Black player is a master, he then looks about for ways to seize the initiative and thus compensate for the tempo minus. This led the great Akiba Rubinstein to invent the Meran Defense, which was named after the resort town of Meran (today Merano in northern Italy). It arises from a Queen's Gambit, Semi-Slav: 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 c6 4. e3 Nf6 4. Nf3 Nbd7 5. Bd3 dxc4 6. Bxc4 b5. The last stroke kicks the bishop and then threatens to kick the knight, regaining the tempo from White. It is very sharp for both sides. The author is John Donaldson, a Seattle area international master. Softcover, algebraic notation. We combine shipping!
