Javier Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Year of publication: 1997 Publisher: Chess Press (Cadogan books) Pages: 144 English GM Matthew Sadler (who plays the Slav himself) annotates 88 games with the Slav. The book is well organized into different chapters, each covering one variation. Sadler's notes are somewhat brief but straight to the point. I enjoy his annotating style which resembles the Socratic "dialogues" with questions and answers. Ideas are very well explained. The book is geared towards players in the 1700-2000 rating range. The selection of games is good. The book is lacking in in-depth analysis or original ideas or analysis. Still, I would rate this book above the average opening manual, but no more than a six.
