If you are ready to play the Ruy Lopez with Black, you also need to be prepared if White avoids the Ruy. In this book Victor Bologan covers all relevant lines with a well laid-out, clearly explained and eminently playable set of responses.

But Bologan's Black Weapons in the Open Games is not just another chess opening repertoire book. Bologan presents TWO different options against every main line: a common sense approach and an aggressive weapon. It’s actually two books in one!

And there is more:
-- guidance for those who are new to 1…e5 and have little time
-- a wealth of new ideas in old lines
-- The Fast Lane repertoire (in every chapter): the minimum you need to know
-- a special strategy section: how pawn structures define important themes
-- transpositions and move-order subtleties clearly identified
-- historical lines and gambits re-examined
-- traps & tricks visually marked
-- many examples from Bologan’s own games
-- 2200(!) games referenced and presented in a separate index 
-- lots of practical tips

Victor Bologan has taken the chess opening repertoire book to a next level. He has created a unique instrument of chess instruction for players of almost every strength.

Victor Bologan is a world-class grandmaster. His tournament victories include the Aeroflot Open in Moscow and the Dortmund super-tournament. He is the author of acclaimed opening books like The Chebanenko Slav, The Rossolimo Sicilian, and The Powerful Catalan.

GM Karsten Müller, author of 'The Modern Scandinavian':
"The book is really excellent. Not only is the analysis up to date but also the presentation is right to the point and very readable. Not many long variations but verbal explanations. Just the way opening books should be in the modern computer times."

IM John Donaldson, ChessToday:
"There is a huge amount of theory in this book, but Bologan presents it in a lively manner and explains things simply and well (..) I give this book a strong recommendation for players of a wide range of playing strengths."

Sean Marsh, CHESS Magazine:
"A 28-page 'Arsenal of Strategic Ideas' is essential reading, setting the whole repertoire in context as regards pawn structures and important themes (..) This is a very impressive book indeed and one which benefits greatly from the extra care and attention devoted on it from the design team."
