Overview

This is the chess doctor's handbook to the very popular traps and pitfalls faced by beginning and intermediate chess players. Opening traps are the single most annoying stratagem, that is, for unprepared players. There is nothing worse than getting caught in a quick trap and going down to a quick defeat. This book puts the power back into the hands of prepared players and not only shows them how to handle these traps as both Black and White but to set them themselves! Schiller and Watson provide practical remedies for both White and Black to the annoying variations that their opponents will often choose instead of the well-known main lines. Finally, there is now a reliable single-volume resource to neutralize or defeat these strategies. For key openings, the authors provide two separate remedies to appeal to both the attacking and positional player. Unique charts and graphics make learning these remedies easy and fun! This book exposes the secrets of the quick kills used at the chessboard and not only how to protect them, but how to use them against unsuspecting opponents!
