Most via 1.Nf3 2.c4 (3.g3), except 1.Nf3 g6 2.e4. Is it the Catalan vs the QGD? The Exchange Variation vs the Slav? What line vs the QGA? Is it g3 vs the Queen's Indian with Qc2 or Bd2, or else? Thanks Yes, often with Bg5xf6. Yes. Anti-QGA via 1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.Na3!? 7.Nc3 Ne4 8.Nxe4!? Bxe4 9.Ne1!?

	There are 61 games (most, but not all, from Andersson) and 39 exercises.

Kxd1 f6 as best, just as Mednis did 35 years ago (and has it as leading to equality as in a game Andersson-Atakisi 2009). The book from Mednis is mentioned in the Bibliography.

Giddins also mentions this, and other queenless middlegames, in How to Build Your Chess Opening Repertoire. He refers to Andersson's games against Kouatly, Franco and Tempone. Plus also his games against Byrne and Biyiasis in the KID Exchange.

	Anyone can share his / her impressions about this new book, based on legendary Ulf Andersson's repertoire? From the excerpt it looks like a very interesting work. What lines are played vs the major Black defenses?
