Grossmeister Repertoire 1 - 1.d4 Band Eins by Boris Awruch

This Grossmeister Repertoire 1: Part 1 by Boris Awruch is a German-language chess opening repertoire book for players building a serious White repertoire after 1.d4. It focuses on the main positions that arise after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 and presents them as a practical guide to opening preparation.

What this volume covers

This first volume in the Grossmeister-Repertoire series concentrates on the lines most closely associated with the Catalan Opening, the Queen’s Gambit Accepted, the Semi-Slav Defence, the Slav Defence and related Queen’s Gambit branches. A key part of the repertoire is the use of the kingside fianchetto, which Awruch develops as a central weapon for White.

The book is aimed at players who want a solid and ambitious repertoire from the White side. It is suited to opening study and tournament preparation, with the material organised around the main theoretical paths rather than isolated side lines.
