The Chigorin Defence (1 d4 d5 2 c4 Nc6) is a dynamic and
provocative response to White's 1 d4. Rather than set out a
defensive stall with systems based on moves such as ...e6 and
...c6, Black prefers to initiative immediate piece play in the
centre. The benefits of this strategy are that Black's queenside
pieces, which are often difficult to develop in the Queen's Gambit,
participate in the struggle at once. The queen's knight emerges
immediately onto an active square and the path is left free for the
c8-bishop to develop freely. Naturally there are also drawbacks as
Black will not find it easy to establish a foothold in the centre
in the early play. The Chigorin is a perfect counterattacking
weapon and will appeal to players who like to throw opponents onto
their own resources at an early stage. Jimmy Liew identifies and
analyses the precise moments when specific theoretical knowledge is
required and also discussed plans and strategies in the quieter
variations. * Everything you need to know to play the Chigorin with
