The book of a strong tournament is more than just a games collection. When its participants are the world's strongest players . . . the tournament as a whole represents a step forward in the development of chess creativity.

A Simple Chess Opening Repertoire for White

By carefully choosing variations that lead to similar structures, IM Sam Collins has put together a powerful repertoire book ideal for players with limited study time.

There are no speculative gambits here, just plenty of healthy aggression and new ide... [Read More]
