Grossmeister Repertoire 2 - 1.d4 Band Zwei by Boris Awruch (hardcover)

This Grossmeister Repertoire 2 - 1.d4 Band Zwei by Boris Awruch is a German-language hardcover chess opening book for players building a serious White repertoire after 1.d4. As the second volume in the Grossmeister-Repertoire series, it presents an ambitious kingside fianchetto approach and shows how to meet Black’s main defences with a structured repertoire.

What this book covers

This is not a general survey of openings. It is a focused repertoire book for players who want to study 1.d4 systematically and aim for a real opening advantage. Awruch develops and updates ideas he has used in serious tournament play, giving the book a clear practical purpose.

1.d4 Band Zwei covers the King’s Indian Defence, Dutch Defence, Grünfeld Defence, several Benoni lines, the Volga Gambit, the Budapest Gambit and other sidelines. That makes it a useful companion for White players facing a wide range of replies.

Who it is for

This book is aimed at players who want to study openings in depth over the long term. It suits ambitious club players, coaches and tournament players looking for a modern repertoire after 1.d4. The hardcover format and substantial page count also make it practical for regular work at the board.
