Tired of playing the same old openings? Worried about having to learn too much theory? Then these are the books that you are looking. Brought together for the first time in one volume, International Master Angus Dunnington presents you with an all-new and attacking repertoire based on the move 1.d4 while Grandmaster John Emms offers a new arsenal of opening weapons with which to attack your unsuspecting opponents. Dunnington concentrates on constructing easy-to-learn systems against all of Black’s possible defences, choosing lines that are fun to play, easy to learn and will pose your opponents with lots of problems. In each case learning ideas is more important than memorising long variations, so these repertoires should be ideal for players who don’t have the luxury of being able to spend countless hours studying theory.
