The Barcza-Larsen Defense - Paul H. Fields

The Barcza-Larsen Defense by Paul H. Fields

The Barcza-Larsen Defense (1.e4 e6 2.d4 c5) is an excellent choice for the player of the Black pieces who enjoys exploring less-traveled roads in the openings.Although many Grandmasters (including Kasparov) have employed the Barcza-Larsen on occasion, this defense has never been subjected to the mircoscopic scrutiny accorded many other openings. This monograph brings together, for the first time, a substantial number of games demonstrating the various strategies relevant to this interesting system.

National Master Paul Fields has been a consistent exponent of unorthodox opening systems during his eighteen years of tournament practice.
