An Attacking Repertoire for White with 1.d4

This An Attacking Repertoire for White with 1.d4 is an English-language chess opening book that gives White a practical 1.d4 repertoire built around active play and early initiative.

What this book covers

Viktor Moskalenko presents a complete, practical repertoire for White based on bold, attacking chess. Rather than filling the pages with long engine-style lines, he focuses on the ideas that matter most in each position: plans, key moments and the chances to seize control of the game. That makes the book especially useful if you want to understand the logic behind your opening choices, not just memorise moves.

The repertoire is designed to lead to lively positions with real tension on the board. Alongside fresh ideas in well-known lines, you will find practical recommendations, traps and tactical tricks that can help you put your opponent under pressure from the start.

Why choose it?

Moskalenko is widely respected as a chess trainer, and that practical background shows throughout the book. The material is presented in a way that is accessible for club players, while still offering serious opening preparation for White after 1.d4.

If you already know the author from titles such as The Even More Flexible French, The Wonderful Winawer, Training with Moska and The Fabulous Budapest Gambit, this book continues in the same practical spirit, but for White.
