A strategically rich repertoire for White based on 1.Nf3 and 2.c4, drawing on the trends of today's leading players.

Watson's recommendations are tuned for understanding rather than rote memorization. He explains the strategic ideas behind each variation – the key pawn structures, the typical piece manoeuvres, the long-term plans – so that the reader feels at home in the resulting middlegames even when the opponent goes off-book. Where appropriate, the repertoire stays flexible enough to head for several different types of position. International Master John Watson is one of the world's most respected writers on chess. His landmark Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy won the British Chess Federation Book of the Year Award in 1999 and is widely regarded as one of the most influential chess books of recent decades.
