  The Center Game Opening - 4.Qa4 for White The 4.Qa4 line in the Center Game opening is an attempt to surprise and confuse to some extent your opponent. Black is forced to think as early as move 4 and play in unchartered territory. Another surprise weapon, perfect for those who don't want to study heavy theory. 38 pages, English, June 2021 Paperback and Kindle. Available on all Amazon markets. BUY

  The Taimanov-Korchnoi Attack is an out of fashion old line in which the Black King very often lacks a pawn shield, whilst the typical blocked King's Indian Defence centre is not blocked at all! Those two factors significantly increase the accuracy level required by Black in these types of positions and make White's play much easier. A perfect surprise weapon! 161 pages, English, February 2021. Hardcover, paperback and Kindle format. Available on all Amazon markets. BUY

  The really simple 1.e4: A complete White repertoire. Surprise your opponents with a 149 pages complete 1.e4 White repertoire for amateurs club players, based on the principle that we don't really mind playing equal positions or even slightly inferiors (say evaluation -0,21 or -0,31) as long as our opponents concede permanent weaknesses, because after all, it's the position that matters in games between amateurs chess players. Getting such a position right out of the opening serves excellently as a compass: You will never lose your way in the middle game as there is always at least one clear plan at your disposal: target the permanent weaknesses! 149 pages, English, April 2020 Hardcover, paperback and Kindle format.
