Sicilian Kan
ISBN: 9781857443028 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Another point in its favor is that even more experienced White players are often flummoxed by Black s elastic approach.

The Veresov
ISBN: 9781857443356 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
