A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Secrets of Opening Surprises brings you a wide variety of unusual opening ideas. They may seem outrageous at first sight, but have proven to be perfectly playable. An SOS deviates very early from the regular lines in a mainstream opening, usually even before move six! That is why it is so easy to actually bring the variation on the board. You will baffle your opponent without having studied large quantities of stuffy theory.

Ideal for players who don t have enough time to keep abreast with main line theory.

Revue de presse

For anyone who wants off-beat but sound and energetic ideas to punch up their opening repertoire, SOS is a great tonic. --Rick Kennedy, ChessVille

Tricky opening ideas, not much to learn, surprise value and lots of fun. --GM Glenn Flear

The most entertaining of books about openings that I know of (...) I recommend SOS because it is so much fun, to be sure, but also for its practical utility." --IM Watson, The Week In Chess
