Zuke 'Em-The Colle Zukertort Revolutionized: A Chess Opening System for Everyone, Now Bullet-Proofed with New Ideas

Viac o knihe

For decades, the chess world has run down the reputation of the Colle-Zukertort (a.k.a. The Rubinstein Attack) as an unassuming opening, claiming it did not exact the full measure of pain from Black in the quest to equalize. If such is the case, why do strong players (as Black) avoid the Zukertort? Instead, they opt to play any of several pet defenses rather than deal with the constriction and onslaught of the main line. In Zuke 'Em: The Colle-System Revolutionized, Rudel explains the basics of the Zukertort and provides plenty of new ideas to address these various pet defenses that opponents may choose. In this book, you will also find introductory chapters for those unfamiliar with the Zukertort, analysis from the perspective of someone who has played the opening exclusively for over a decade, a barrage of never-before-published answers and extensive commentary on common lines, and a training section to help you retain and test your understanding of the opening.
