Modernized Stonewall Defense

Grandmaster Milos Pavlovic was born in Begrade in 1964 and has won many chess tournaments worldwide including becoming Yugoslav Champion in 1992. A well-known theoretician, he has published many well-received chess books and numerous articles in a variety of chess magazines. This is his seventh book for Thinkers Publishing.

As with every Thinkers Publishing publication high quality paper is used and the printing is clear. Each diagram is clear is clear and the instructional text is typeset in two column format, which, we find, enables the reader to maintain their place easily. This book is ideal perhaps for someone who plays the Classical Dutch (or even the Leningrad Dutch) who wishes to add the Stonewall to their repertoire . The treatment of the main lines in the Bd6 and Be7 Stonewalls is detailed and up-to-date as of 2020.Playing the Stonewall Dutch will add to your understanding of positional chess and strategy and, of course, Black has won many games with this weapon a King side attack especially with the g pawn! We like this book and so will you. John Upham, British Chess News, May 2020.
