About the Book

The single most remarkable property of my unique new chess opening guidebook is that it is fish friendly! As many a forlorn loser has discovered to their chagrin, if you ever try reading your average encyclopedia volume one on chess openings from start to finish with the bright idea of absorbing all of the precious information inside it with your fabulous photographic memory, you will inevitably emerge thoroughly bewildered; and still just fish for the boys. In stark contrast the opening strategies in my book are presented using only complete sample games featuring consistently good if not best play for our side (with occasional lapse thrown in, just to add a touch of realism and keep you on your toes), so that by merely playing through them the apt student's playing strength is bound to improve dramatically as they learn by direct example all aspects of chess starteg from first move to checkmate. Just as learning to speak or read may seem like a miraculous event which occurs practically overnight, so may learning to play chess like a supremely talented champion! It is merely a matter of thoughtfully packaging the information in a suitable format to be readily assiilated by eager minds at their own rate without inadvertently giving them a severe case of cerebral indigestion, as well might a voluminous reference work choked with endless truncated opening lines and variants terminating in evaluation symbols of questionable value if you let's say supposing just for argument's sake happened to try to memorize the darn thing. Naturally I maintain my book offers the most expedient means of achieving real competence at chess; and am quite prepard to wager on it!

About the Author

None of your business about the author. Sorry, buddy, we don't give out that kind of information! Strictly confidential. As far as you are concerned he is merely another eccentric recluse who felt compelled to bequeath his vast store of ancient chess lore to a clue impoverished chess public, if only to rescue it from being led down the garden path to boredom by other pretentious losers peddling bogus opening systems just so they can hustle up a swift buch and gloat to all the way to the bank. Will the real impostor please stand up? Alright, sit down you lot! Did I happen to mention that the author may have a chip or two on his shoulder? You realize of course that this is war, and so all's fair. There can be only one!! Homo Numero Uno. Get the picture? So if all you other losers would be so kind as to take a back seat, I'll see you in my rear view. My sincerest wish is to help you become the very best chess player you can possibly ever hope to be. And then to cruch you like a bug! Ha! Ha! Ha! Don't look now, but I'm spoiling for a war. Throwing down the gauntlet! Come on, bring it on, clowns!! Taste my steel.
