The second volume of Watson's acclaimed series, focused on queen's pawn openings and the characteristic structures to which they lead.

John Watson explores the Nimzo-Indian, the King's Indian and the entire Queen's Gambit complex, looking at how flexible thinking and the principle of rule-independence apply to opening play. Rather than offering an idealized model, he shows how top-level players really handle these openings in practice. The result is both entertaining reading and demanding study material for any player who wants to understand the strategic essence of queen's pawn play. International Master John Watson is one of the world's most respected writers on chess; his Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy won the British Chess Federation Book of the Year Award in 1999.
