Playing the Trompowsky by Richard Pert is an English-language chess opening book on the Trompowsky Attack, centred on 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5. It also covers related early Bg5 systems, including the Dutch Defence and the Pseudo-Tromp.
What this book covers
Richard Pert presents the Trompowsky as a practical opening choice and shows how the same idea can be used in related positions. Alongside the main line, the book examines 2.Bg5 against the Dutch Defence and the Pseudo-Tromp after 1.d4 d5 2.Bg5, giving a broader view of this opening system.
That makes it a single volume for players who want to study the Trompowsky Attack and its close relatives together.
