I left chess in 2012. I did not touch it for several years. Then I
decided to test my strength in Internet blitz. I started from
scratch. The board floated before my eyes, and my knee twitched.
Less than two months later, I crossed the grandmaster rating mark.
My opponents, among them lots of players with a big name, played
chess better than me. Surprisingly though, I knew more. On a small
island of chess theory, onto which I lured them, I was better
equipped. Much better! About 30% of the games ended in wins around
the 20th move. A quarter of the games simply ended in mate. In all
games, I opened with the moves 1.b3 and 1b6. International Master
Ilya Odessky is the worlds leading expert on the 1.b3 and 1b6 chess
opening systems. Despite their apparent calm, these openings can
get extremely sharp. Now Odessky presents his findings and
achievements of recent years. His baffling traps will help you
crush your opponents in the opening, with both White and Black.
Odessky admits that some of his lines may objectively be somewhat
dubious. But in blitz and rapid games they will lead to spectacular
play and many surprising wins. Ilya Odessky will entertain, amuse
and surprise you in this highly unusual chess opening book full of
ultra-romantic chess.
