The second in a series dedicated to aquainting readers with new discoveries in opening theory.
The first volume was devoted to the Philidor and Pirc and was unique in that the authors outline new, ultra-aggressive systems; called the 'Left-Hook' based on the Austrian Attack: 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.f4 Bg7 5.a3!? and the 'Spike Anti-Pirc': 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.Be2 0-0 5.g4!?; 5.e5!?
This new volume sees them complete their coverage on the 'Spike' as an opening repertoire for White - Introducing it as a system versus the Modern and updating their theory against the Pirc.
The Spike!!
As a black system the authors present the Chaos Counter-Attack (1.d4 g6 2.c4 Bg7 3.Nc3 c5 4.d5 BxN+ 5.pxN f5!) and the Accelerated Chaos Counter-Attack (1.d4 c5 2.d5 f5!).
