Such has been the acclaim for John Watson's ground-breaking works
on modern chess strategy and his insightful opening books, that it
is only natural that he now presents a strategic opening
repertoire.
It is the chess-player's holy grail: a flexible repertoire that
gives opponents real problems but doesn't require masses of
memorization or continual study of ever-changing grandmaster
theory. While this book can't quite promise all of that, Watson
offers an intriguing selection of lines that give vast scope for
over-the-board creativity and should never lead to a dull draw.
The repertoire is based on 1 d4 and 2 c4, following up with
methodical play in the centre. Watson uses his vast opening
knowledge to pick cunning move-orders and poisonous sequences that
will force opponents to think for themselves, providing a true test
of chess understanding. Throughout, he discusses strategies for
both sides, so readers will be fully ready to pounce on any
inaccuracies, and have all the tools to decide on the most
appropriate plans for White.
