The Black Lion is a thoroughly modern counterattacking system that
is a nightmare to face. This wild and aggressive line attempts to
take away White's initiative from a very early stage and is
guaranteed to throw your opponents off balance. The Black Lion is
essentially a contemporary and aggressive interpretation of the
Philidor Defence (1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 d6). The Black Lion starts with a
slightly different move order, 1 e4 d6 2 d4 Nf6 3 Nc3, and now the
lion family splits into two different animals: the risky lion
(3...Nbd7) or the tame lion (3...e5). Both treatments are
thoroughly investigated in this book. Simon Williams (the Ginger
GM) is the ideal guide to explain how to whip up an extremely
dangerous attack using either treatment. Williams is well known for
his swashbuckling, attacking play and the Black Lion suits his
style perfectly. His commentary and annotations are always
instructive and entertaining. * The Black Lion is an unusual and
dangerous system with little established theory. * White cannot
rely on simple, safe moves as such a strategy is liable to be
overrun. * The Black Lion is fun and exciting to play!
