This is the first full-length book about this interesting opening, unfolding a complete theory of 1.Nc3; including several offbeat lines against semi-open defences like the Alekhine or the Caro-Kann. The author thoroughly explains the basic structures which supply huge scope for creativity. There is broad discussion of move order subtleties and
transposition issues, so that the book deepens your understanding of opening play in general!
"If you have a liking for the unusual and daring, you will probably not find many books this year that are better than this one!"
