The Trompowsky, 2nd

Been playing the Trompowsky now and then and already have two books on this opening ("Winning with the Trompowsky" from GM Peter Wells, 2003 and "The Trompowsky" from GM Joe Gallagher, 1998). I only found 4 games in the Chessbase MegaBase 2007 where GM Nigel Davies actually played the Trompowsky (A45) - two wins in 1998 and two draws in 2000 (the wins were against much lower rated players than him). Atleast GM Gallagher played 14 games with the Tromp (68% wins) and GM Wells 31 (66% wins of which one against GM Shirov in 2006, blowing the latter off the board in 13 moves!). I'll just keep the books I already have and look up games by GM Adams (47 games with the Tromp, 62% wins), GM Wells, GM Gallagher and, maybe best of all, GM Igor Miladinovic (118 Tromps and 75% wins!).

From relative obscurity to one of White's favorite queen's pawn openings, the rise in popularity of the Trompowsky Attack over the last decade or so has been quite staggering. Largely inspired by a group of English players headed by Julian Hodgson and Michael Adams, the "Tromp" has been enthusiastically taken up by club players and Grandmasters alike. Even the World number one Garry Kasparov has tried his hand at this dynamic opening.
The Trompowsky is an ideal weapon for club and tournament players. From as early as move two White stamps his authority on the game and gives Black difficult problems to solve. While it's true that the opening has now built up a reasonable amount of theory, there is relatively little to learn compared to more mainstream openings and still much scope for original play.
In this book Grandmaster Nigel Davies presents the reader with up-to-date coverage of this ever-expanding opening. Using model games for both White and Black, he studies the key strategies and tactics associated with the Trompowsky.
