The vast majority of chess games witness familiar strategies and
well known tactical motifs. These are the games that you will find
in the anthologies and opening repertoires. Sometimes however,
games appear that seem to have been played on a different planet.
Conventional strategies go out of the window. Familiar tactical
themes are nowhere to be seen. Chaos has broken out. The pieces
appear to be in open rebellion and are steadfastly refusing to do
the natural jobs that they were designed for. Having to navigate a
path in such a game can be a nightmare. Do you rely purely on
calculation? Is it better to trust your instincts? Can you assess
the position using "normal" criteria? In order to answer these
questions, prolific chess author and coach Cyrus Lakdawala has
assembled a collection of brilliantly unconventional and irrational
games. The positions in these games appear almost random. Kings
have gone walkabout, pieces are on bizarre squares, huge pawn
rollers are sweeping all before them. Irrational chess is like
nothing you've seen before. As well as being highly instructive
this is a hugely entertainging book. Do not adjust your set. It's
chess, Jim, but not as we know it.
