Welcome to Volume 2 of Cheparinov's 1.d4!.

In the second part of the series, I am

sharing my knowledge about the Slav Defense. I am confident that the book

contains many new and interesting ideas and I have tried to provide you with the

best practical options. Objectively speaking Black looks good in many lines but

in practice things may look different. While I cannot promise you a big

advantage in each line, I do believe you will have the best practical chances

during the game.

Writing the second volume was very

challenging for me. The Slav encompasses a wide but solid body of theory. Black

has plenty of options and finding advantages and practical chances was not easy

at all. In any case I believe that chess players from amateurs to very strong

players will appreciate this book. While the Covid pandemic gave me a lot of

free time to concentrate on the book, I am very happy to see that many

tournaments are back. This means that my book can be useful, and you may

actually be able to apply some of the ideas in your games.

The best way to use this book is to first examine

the lines on an actual board and then check them with an engine. I hope this

method of study increases your understanding of the positions that arise from

the Slav. This book can be a very important starting point for building your

1.d4 repertoire.

Ivan Cheparinov was born in Bulgaria on 26 November 1986. He learned to play chess at the age of five and progressed quickly, winning the Bulgarian Junior Championship in 2000 and becoming a grandmaster in 2004. He has finished first or equal first in many strong Open and elite round-robin tournaments, such as the Essent Open (2006), Morelia Open (2007), Sigeman & Co invitational (2007), Ruy Lopez Masters (2009 and 2010) and Gibraltar Chess Festival (2014.) Ivan won the national championship of Bulgaria four times (2004, 2005, 2012 and 2018) and tied for first at the European Individual Championship in 2007. After his results in 2007 he crossed the threshold of 2700 for the first time and has since been a regular member of the ‘2700+’ club, with a current peak rating of 2718. He is a long-time second of ex-World Champion Veselin Topalov, also from Bulgaria.
