It's hard to believe but publisher Everyman Chess yet again managed to find a philosopy to start a new opening series! This time it's called 'Dangerous Weapons' and the idea behind this book, the first a series we are made to believe, is to present unusual ideas for both colors in the Nimzo-Indian as early in the game as possible. Sounds a bit like the SOS formula, doesn't it? The future will show whether this series is viable but the authors are respected opening specialists and the book looks promising at first sight. All popular fourth move options for white are covered: 4.e3, 4.Qc2, 4.Nf3, 4.f3, 4.Bg5 and even 4.Qd3.
Are you tired of constantly following the same old opening moves? Fed up with always having to keep up with modern chess theory? Or perhaps you simply wish to try something new and exciting, but cannot decide between the numerous choices available? We have the answer!
In this book, John Emms, Chris Ward and Richard Palliser team up to examine one of the mostpopular and respected openings at all levels of chess: the Nimzo-Indian. Instead of pursuing the well-trodden paths, they choose an original approach, concentrating on fresh or little-explored variations of the Nimzo, andselecting a wealth of ‘dangerous’ options for both colours. Whether playing White or Black, a study of this book will leave you confident and fully-armed,and your opponents running for cover!
Dangerous Weapons is a brand-new series of opening books which supply the reader with an abundance of hard-hitting ideas to revitalize his or her opening repertoire.Many of the carefully chosen weapons are innovative, visually shocking, incredibly tricky, or have been unfairly discarded; they are guaranteed to throw even your most experienced opponent off balance.
