Description
The Petroff Defence, in which Black initiates a counter-attack on the second move (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6), is a sharp attempt to equalise the game. The early opening of a central file, together with active piece play, are the main features of this classical king pawn opening. It is a fundamentally sound defence, that has been regularly employed by leading modern players such as Karpov, Timman, Hübner and the author himself, while even Kasparov, Anand and Kramnik have made occasional use of it.
