The author's desire is to inspire players on all levels to do independent work. Don't accept the assessment of a variation or particular move but use these assessments as a starting point for your own investigations and your own conclusions. Not only will these 250 novelties help your analytical skill and tournament preparation, but the games they are taken from are also vastly entertaining miniatures. A fun way to spend an afternoon, sharpen your tactics, and a useful tool for building an opening repertoire. Algebraic notation, 126 pages. (I.C.E., 1995).
