Title: Opening books don't come much better than this one
Review: This is a dense but quite easy to read opening guide with very high quality. And the opening that it covers is one of the more interesting and versatile openings there is.The book strikes a good balance between analysis and verbal descrption. It is useful to any player, although I do recommend Matthew Sadler's Slav book for the <1800 player as the first introduction to this opening.The first black Slav game I played after studying this book was against a Grandmaster who is rated 400 Elo higher than myself. I equalised from the opening, and soon even reached an advantageous middle game (according to my own and Fritz' analysis). I attribute this to the quality of organisation of material in this book, which makes the lines and ideas easy to remember.BTW, I lost the game against the GM. That should tell you that middlegame study will improve your play much more than opening study.
