Slav Defence Playbook is a simple safe super solid solution to your chess opening repertoire for Black after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6. This defence is a reliable response to all Closed Games. The Slav Defence makes your opening preparation easy. You do not need to memorize thousands of variations. You don't need to play risky gambits. The Slav is a repeatable sound choice that allows you to quickly develop all your minor pieces and castle. It saves you time and energy. One of the best things about the Slav Defence as Black is that White has difficulty obtaining a lasting advantage. The book begins with a few Anti-Slav lines that could transpose to the Slav. The solid nature of the position gives Black an easier move selection which saves time. But White faces multiple subtle options which can be complex to analyze. Black's options are simple and sound.The Slav Defence fits with the Caro-Kann as Black and London 2.Bf4 as White. The author played all three of these defenses for years on the Internet Chess Club using SuperSolid as his handle. This Playbook is a tool to help you easily prepare to play your opening. The 200 diagrams in this playbook cover the variations that you are most likely to face. It is Black's move in every diagram. The author gives a reasonable move for Black in each position with a brief comment as to why it is recommended. Be prepared!
