Hungarian grandmaster Imre Hera and Turkish FIDE master Ufuk Tuncer have charted this topicalline and analysed it deeply.They give a clear overview ofthe history ofthe line and have thoroughly investigated all Black's answers in separate parts and chapters. The deep and often spectacular variations are illuminated by instructive and entertaining prose.
