This book presents a Black repertoire against the opening hit of the year – the London System, which arises after 1.d4 d5 2.Bf4. The author also covers various move orders with 2.Nf3 or 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bf4 c5. Kiril Georgiev analyses several different set-ups for Black so the book would be of help to White players, too.

Grandmaster Kiril Georgiev has been the strongest Bulgarian player for many years. He was a Junior World Champion and a bronze medalist in Europe. He has played in 15 Olympiads and also coached the Bulgarian national team. His peak rating was in the world's top ten. Kiril has been one of the best blitz players and took the bronze at the first World Blitz Championship in Saint John, having eliminated Kasparov. He wrote the books The Sharpest Sicilian and Squeezing the Gambits.
