the triangle system: noteboom, marshall gambit and other semi-slav triangle lines

Grandmaster Glenn Flear presents a repertoire for Black based on the Semi-Slav Triangle, an ambitious way to fight the ever-popular Queen’s Gambit. Black’s weapons include the Abrahams-Noteboom Variation – a dynamic counter-attack taking White out of his comfort zone and offering Black the chance to dictate the game from the outset. Flear also provides options for Black against the aggressive Semi-Slav Marshall Gambit as well as White’s quieter tries, such as the Exchange Variation. The recommendations have been tried and tested successfully at grandmaster level and are specially designed for players who want to challenge White in the opening.
