Black versus The Tromp and Torre Attacks

The Trompowsky and Torre Attacks, played regularly at club level, may be quite risky to face if you are not prepared. In this comprehensive treatment of both openings - highlighting play from Black's perspective - popular authors Vassilios Kotronias and Mikhail Ivanov, present solid paths to dynamic equality for the second player.

The common thread in both these systems is Bc1-g5 by White. In the Trompowsky, White plays it on the second move, while it is on the third move in the Torre. In addition, there is a separate chapter on a dangerous cousin of the Tromp and Torre, the "Barry-Tarzan" Attack, which usually features pawn storms after castling on opposite wings.

All three have their own QuickStarter! section. This covers the major lines, allowing the reader to begin playing these systems sooner rather than later.

There is no longer any reason for Black to fear these potentially dangerous debuts. Let GMs Kotronias and Ivanov prepare you to face the Trompowsky and Torre Attacks with confidence.
