Reviews
"The charm in this book is that it's so much more than an opening manual. I liked turning the pages with a childlike feeling of 'what wonders am I about to uncover'. Inside you can find anecdotes, quotations, comparisons, discussions about the pawn structures that might occur, and plenty of Swedish humour." -- GM Glenn Flear, New In Chess Yearbook
Synopsis
When Axel Smith was chasing his final chess Grandmaster norm, he decided he needed a change in his White opening repertoire. Instead of his usual approach of memorizing many concrete moves to try to force an advantage, he would focus on pawn structures and typical plans. The result was a repertoire based on a set-up with the moves d4, Nf3, c4 and e3, and it helped Axel Smith to the GM title., When Axel Smith was chasing his final chess Grandmaster norm, he decided he needed a change in his White opening repertoire.

The reader will not have to memorize many moves, but hard work is still essential to understand the themes, so many exercises are provided to test the reader. Smith shows that a practical repertoire can also be a grandmaster repertoire - it is all about understanding the positional themes and plans., When Axel Smith was chasing his final chess Grandmaster norm, he decided he needed a change in his White opening repertoire.

    Very reasonably priced blu-ray and seller was very quick to ship; blu-ray arrived much sooner than expected. Blu-ray was meticulously packed to ensure no damage would occur during shipping. Blu-ray was in exact condition as stated in the listing and played perfectly. Would buy from this seller again.
