Georgian GM Lasha Janjgava has just produced his second book for Gambit Publications Ltd. His work The Petroff, is a very detailed look at this rock-solid opening which adds to earlier books by Cafferty, Forintos & Haag and Yusupov.

The Petroff not only covers all developments after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 and 3.d4, but also looks at less common lines like 3.Bc4, 3.Nc3 and 3.d3. This book is well organized and offers ample prose to explain the key ideas for both sides. If you play the Petroff or are looking for a solid, straightforward answer to 1.e4, this is a must purchase.
