This Grandmaster Repertoire - 1.e4 vs Minor Defences by Parimarjan Negi is an English-language paperback chess opening book that gives White a practical repertoire after 1.e4 against minor defences, including the Alekhine Defence, Scandinavian Defence, Pirc Defence, Modern Defence and other less common Black replies.
What this book covers
This fifth volume in the Grandmaster Repertoire series focuses on the lines that matter most when preparing against offbeat defences. Parimarjan Negi builds the repertoire around main variations and adds fresh analysis and ideas from a world-class player’s perspective, so the book works both as a study guide and as serious pre-game preparation.
It is a strong choice for tournament players, coaches and advanced players who want a coherent answer to less popular Black defences without leaving gaps in their opening work.
