 | | "Center Counter Defense, The Portuguese Variation" by Selby Anderson, 1997 Pickard & Son, Paperback, Figurine Algebraic Notation 95pp., $14.95 Reviewed by Glenn Budzinski National Master Selby Anderson's "Center Counter Defense, The Portuguese Variation" is nothing if not esoteric. |
 | | Continuing with the trend that is becoming more common in today's opening literature, this work examines a specific variation within the Center Counter (or Scandinavian) Defense, namely the line 1 e4 d5 2 ed5 Nf6 3 d4 Bg4, popularized by several Portuguese Masters. |
 | | If you're seeking an alternative defense against e4, especially if you're already somewhat familiar with the Center Counter, the Portuguese Variation may have merit. |
