Croatian Grandmaster Drazen Marovic, long-time editor of the late Sahovski Glasnik, is known as a noted pedagogue. Marovic's earlier work for Gambit, Understanding Pawn Play in Chess, dealt with static pawn formations while his new book, Dynamic Pawn Play in Chess principally deals with more fluid positions. The book starts with a short historical survey covering the development of chess strategy the past 150 years and then moves on to The Open Center, The Closed Center, Pawn- Majorities and Minority Attacks plus the Dynamic Center. With so many examples from the Sicilian, one might think it was a middlegame guide to that opening! Interspersed with the well-annotated games are interesting anecdotes by Marovic who has been a well-known figure on the world chess scene for close to forty years.

Recommended.
