This is the first opening book I used. It was 2016, and I had just started playing tournament chess. My friend, FM Matej Blažeka, gave me his copy to prepare for our league games. The book is very good. Dreev has also covered the Moscow in another volume. His understanding of the Semi-Slav is exceptional and the book covers the main lines as well as a few uncommon variations. The best resource for Semi-Slav players out there I think.
