In the late 1990s the popularity of the Petroff soared after it's adoption by Vladimir Kramnik and Vishy Anand. Many new ideas have been discovered and this book offers an objective, extremely detailed analysis of current theory in the Petroff, including the main lines 3.Nxe5 and 3.d4 and other, less popular, continuations. Studying the book will enable you to approach the Petroff with confidence from either side. The author is a Georgian Grandmaster and has represented his country in chess olympiads.

"I have endeavoured to present and explain to you all the finer points of this opening, as I understand them. In general, the critical positions have been treated thoroughly and I have also suggested and analyzed a great many new ideas in this book.
Some variations which have amassed considerable tournament practice, but which, in my view, are less principled, have been covered only briefly. Otherwise, the book would have become too big, losing its essential purpose.
Unfortunately, too many authors write chess books in that way; they offer no original analysis and often quote outdated games, some of which are very weakly played and almost useless." Konstantin Sakaev
This book offers a repertoire for Black against 1.e4, based on the Petroff Defence. The author recommends lines of play against all White's options, including alternatives to 2.Nf3. The book contains 29 chapters of analysis and explanation of Black's strategy. Each chapter finishes with the author's conclusions on the best ideas for both sides.
The author, Konstantin Sakaev, is a strong Grandmaster and double gold medal winner with the Russian Olympiad team.

Alexander Raetsky & Maxim Chetverik
The Petroff Defence (1.e4,e5; 2.Nf3,Nf6;) is one of Black's most reliable defences to 1.e4 and it remains popular at both club and international level. This book, by two well known Russian opening theorists, examines all the important alternatives for both Black and White using 74 annotated, illustrative games in ten chapters. White's most popular third moves 3.Nxe5, and 3.d4 take up nine chapters whilst a chapter on alternative third moves completes the book. Coverage is objective, favouring neither side, with a large amount of analysis in the notes to the illustrativer games. Alexander Raetsky is a Russian international master and Maxim Chetverik is a Russian FIDE Master.
