When you add the Slav to your repertoire, you get an opening with a solid foundation. However, that doesn’t mean you will get a boring game. On the contrary, this opening often leads to very dynamic play. Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that many of the world class players of today, including Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana and Alireza Firouzja have played it frequently, and used it to play for a win against their contemporaries. So grab this DVD and enrich your knowledge in the Solid Slav Defence to add a new opening to an ever-growing theoretical arsenal. Photo: ChessBase
