The Barry Attack is a highly aggressive system that arises after 1
d4 Nf6 2 Nf3 g6 3 Nc3 d5 4 Bf4. Although the concept of the Barry
Attack has been known for a century or so, the modern
interpretation (as with a number of other dynamic white systems)
has mainly been developed by English grandmasters over the past
couple of decades. This "modern interpretation" is often not very
subtle. If Black provides a target by castling early on the
kingside, White will often let rip with moves such as Qd2, Bh6,
0-0-0 and h4-h5, playing very directly for a quick checkmate. If
this strikes you as too crude to have a chance against a
sophisticated and competent defender, then a quick glance through
this book will undoubtedly change your mind. You will witness
countless games where very strong players are destroyed on the
black side in less than 30 moves. Sometimes a lot less. This makes
the Barry an ideal weapon for those who love to attack. Black's
defence has to be very accurate. If not, a quick annihilation is on
the cards. Play the Barry Attack is the ideal guide to this
fascinating opening. Anyone who reads this book carefully and
studies all White's attacking ideas will have a fearsome weapon in
their armoury.
