Ab diesem Band 13 erscheinen die Titel nur noch in englischer Sprache! Letzte Ausgabe der deutschen Reihe "Schach ohne Scheuklappen" war der Band 12 (-> Artikelnummer LOBOSSOS12).
Secrets of Opening Surprises brings you a wide variety of unusual opening ideas. They may seem outrageous at first sight, but have proven to be perfectly playable.
An SOS deviates very early from the regular lines in a mainstream opening, usually even before move six! That is why it is so easy to actually bring the variation on the board. You will baffle your opponent without having studied large quantities of stuffy theory.
