The variation Gligoric introduced in a tournament at Mar Del Plata, Argentina, 50 years ago is characterized by fierce attacks by the opposing sides--White on the queenside and Black on the castled king--making for exciting games and many dashing Black wins. Gligoric presents not only up-to-date theory and illustrative games, but also his own fascinating narrative on the evolution, development and survival of his counterattacking system, which has stood the test of time and remained popular at both grandmaster and club level.
