Subject: Books on the Catalan ?
|
Greetings. What are the best books on the Catalan ? I know of, but don't have:
Winning with the Catalan, Dunnington, Batsford
Katalanisch, Raetzki, Kania
Any others? I speak German, so Kania is fine for me from that point of view.
It's not just because of the current "1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.g3 Nf6" tournament

The Raetsky/Chetverik book on the Catalan has been published in
English by Everyman Chess. I have a copy of this book and think highly
of it. It consists of 95 complete annotated games, and includes many
beautiful positional struggles. For a positive review of the book you
might want to check out the Seagaard site; more specifically:

Two older books that I have used:
Play the Catalan Volume 1 Open Variation - Y. Nieshtadt
Play the Catalan Volume 2 Closed Variation - Y. Nieshtadt
The first volume deals with ...dxc4 lines. The second volume delas
with lines where Black doesn't play ...dxc4
A more recent book that I have is:
The Queen's Gambit & Catalan for Black - Lasha Janigara
As the title suggests this covers the Catalan from Black's point of
view.
BTW: You should able to find review of these and other books by using
google to search on "Catalan" "book" "review".
