The Vienna Game has long been a curious sideline in 1.e4 theory—sharp enough to tempt, but often considered too thin to rely on at a high level. That perception changes here. In Vienna Game for White – Top-Level Repertoire, GM Baadur Jobava and GM Pier Luigi Basso have built a complete, tournament-ready repertoire based on 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3, fusing inventive attacking ideas with rigorous analytical backing.
