In chess, a transposition is a known position reached by a
different move order than usual - a less obvious way of getting to
somewhere you want to go, leading to confusion for your opponent.
Every chess player has a number of them in his arsenal, and they
are used most often in openings. There are transpositional tricks
in all openings, but this is the first book devoted to them. As the
book covers all the key openings variations it can be used by most
chess players. The introduction explains what transpositions are
and why they're invaluable, followed by 8 chapters discussing
transpositions, illustrated by some notorious examples from
top-flight matches. Chapters are divided by opening group - Double
e-pawn openings; Sicilian Defense; Other Semi-Open openings; Double
e-pawn openings; Indian openings; Other 1 d4 openings; Reti,
English, 1 g3. The benefits and drawbacks of each set of move
orders are discussed throughout. This is an ideal book for all club
players and is written by one of the best chess writers in the
world today.
