Ultimate Dragon vol.1
by Eduard Gufeld & Oleg Stetsko


In this first of two volumes on the Dragon Sicilian, the two authors present detailed coverage of the Rauzer variation to date. This is characterized by an early advance f2-f3, after which the white pawn supports both the centre and a kingside pawn storm by g4 and h4.

Black reacts to the aggressive intentions of his opponent with a counterattack on the queenside, making full use of the open c-file for his rook and the long h8-a1 diagonal for his mighty Dragon bishop. An exciting cut-and-thrust game then follows in which the winner is often the one who checkmates first!

Whether playing the White or Black side, no competitive player - at club or tournament level - can afford to be without this book.

Eduard Gufeld, originally from the Ukraine, is a globetrotting grandmaster, currently living in Los Angeles. A colourful character, well known throughout the chess world, he has written a number of Batsford chess books, most recently "The Art of the King's Indian".

Oleg Stetsko is a specialist on opening theory and co-author of "The Classical French".
