Reviews / Votes
I've read various "Dangerous weapons" books by Everyman Chess and I'm happy to see that the quality and development of this series has not faded! I'll recommend this book for players playing with both, black and white, who are looking for a tricky line! Especially the verbal explanations are valuable for players ranged 1300-1900 ELO! But the biggest potential in my opinion lies in Blitz and Rapid tournaments, where some tricky, well analyzed lines can win you some time on the clock and thus yield you a decisive advantage! - dailychess.orgMore details
