When Black plays …c5, White will hold the center with c3 and attack on the kingside while Black, hobbled somewhat by a bad light-squared bishop and the inability to post the Ng8 to f6, will counter on the queenside with …c5 or occasionally in the center with …f6.
Black will often aim to trade off the bad, light-squared bishop on a6 or b5. White can hold to the bishop with Bd3-c2, although allowing the capture will often permit White to gain time for other purposes, mainly the kingside attack.
The variation was already popular when Aron Nimzovitch made a more principle study of it and gave life to the play on both sides. In the last century, the variation has had adherents in Grandmasters Sveshnikov and Sax.
This e-book introduces the lines and focuses on a plan for White with 6.a3. This small pawn move confronts Black with an immediate, awkward choice, lock in the central pawn structure with …c4 or else allow White to play b4 with play on both sides of the board.
Unlike many other inexpensive chess e-books, these are fully annotated in understandable, simple language. The profuse use of diagrams make these among the first chess books that you can read WITHOUT A BOARD at your side.
