How should a chessplayer prepare his openings when he must face a well-prepared opponent? How should a repertoire of openings be built up? What openings should be employed when a win is essential? Or when a draw is sufficient? These questions are familiar to all chessplayers. The answers of a top grandmaster and his personal coach will shed welcome light on these thorny problems for the practical player. This book provides a unique insight into the workings of a highly efficient openings laboratory, and an entertaining account of the practical record of its output - both successes and failures.
