Co-author Michael Basman has been reputed to be an original and
independent chess player and thinker for the whole of his chess
career. However, around 1978 he mobilized his creativity to develop
new ways in chess strategy, based on a personal set of avant-garde
opening systems such as the St.George (early b4.. of ..b5) and Grob
(early g4.. or ..g5). Consistently employing his new ideas, a whole
new system of chess playing gained recognition among his
colleagues, and generated a cult following among chess amateurs.
Around 1990 Mike took the next step by creating the Global opening
and it's pincer movements from the flanks. This constituted the
final stage in the ultra-hyper-modern school of flank-strategy that
he started 12 years earlier. Pressed by popular demand, Mike Basman
has written several popular works on his ideas such as 'St.
George's opening', 'The Killer Grob' and 'The Global opening' but
these bestsellers have gone out of print a long time ago. So both
authors felt it was about time to revive interest in the "Basmanic"
school of chess. Mike has supplied most of the material, and
co-author Gerard has accepted the task (as a former cult-follower
in his younger days) to do a critical selection and examination of
everything available. We hope that 2021, the year that Mike Basman
turns 75, will see a revival of Basman's avant-garde ideas in chess
among players of the new generations.
