Beating Unusual Chess Openings: Dealing with the English, Reti, King's Indian Attack and Other Annoying Systems (Everyman Chess) [Englisch] [Taschenbuch]

"Beating Unusual Chess Openings" is a godsend to those chess players fed up with struggling against all opening moves other than White's main two: 1 e4 and 1 d4. From the respectable (English Opening, Reti and King's Indian Attack) through to the offbeat (Nimzo-Larsen Attack, Bird's Opening) and the totally bizarre (Orang-utan, Grob); everything Black needs to know about facing unusual openings is covered within these pages. Richard Palliser gets to grips with all of White's possibilities, examining their strengths and weaknesses and in turn organizing a reliable and practical repertoire for Black.
