Surprise Weapons against 1.e4 - The Practical 1...e5 Repertoire Vol.2
Introduction
After the sidelines and surprise weapons of Volume 1, this second part turns to the great classical paths after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6, every move other than d4. The focus is on the Italian and the Ruy Lopez, by far the two most played continuations, along with the Centre Game and the King's Gambit.
This is where things get concrete. Rather than sidelines, this volume delivers sharp, venomous answers to the most heavily researched systems in the open games, with the goal of staying uncomfortable even against the best-prepared opponents while keeping full winning chances alive.
