Fully at ease, everything under control, not a worry in the world. Or so he thinks. He's checked his repertoire, double-checked his main lines. He wanted to come well-prepared and he did. Or did he? Because what he doesn't know is that today is not his day. For the simple reason that he's playing you. And you are going to spring a surprise on him. No main variations today, nothing mainstream, he's going to be initiated into a world of secrets: Secrets of Opening Surprises! Secrets of Opening Surprises brings you a wide variety of unusual opening ideas. They may seem outrageous at first sight, but they have been proven to be perfectly playable. An SOS deviates very early from the regular lines in a mainstream opening, usually even before move six. That is why it is so easy to actually bring the variation on the board. With an SOS you will baffle your opponent, gain crucial time and stand a good chance to get an advantage WITHOUT having studied large quantities of stuffy theory!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e Jeroen Bosch is an International Master and a prolific chess writer for various chess publications. His thoroughly researched contributions to the New In Chess Yearbooks are highly valued, but he also continues to perplex (and pleasantly surprise) us with the seemingly endless stream of unorthodox opening ideas that he manages to unearth for his SOS column in New In Chess Magazine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeroen Bosch - The SOS Files\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtur Kogan - A Surprising Scandinavian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeroen Bosch - The Alapin Opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSergey Volkov - Attacking the Slav Stonewall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJaan Ehlvest - The Dutch Benoni\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeroen Bosch - The Katalymov Variation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlenn Flear - The Other Long Diagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdrian Mikhalchishin - Following Smyslov and Reti\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimitri Reinderman - King's Gambit Vienna 1903\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeroen Bosch - Move-order Your Sicilian Opponent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDorian Rogozenko - An Indian SOS, Part I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDorian Rogozenko - An Indian SOS, Part II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlenn Flear - Patzer Sees a Check\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdrian Mikhalchishin - The Bellon Gambit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeroen Bosch - Kozul's SOS against the Rossolimo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIgor Glek \u0026amp; Elena Sedina - Alekhine's Blunder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMikhail Gurevich - Flexibility Zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e144 Pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: New In Chess\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished: 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eReviews\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Is a refreshing change from the usual dreary technical works and is definitely not for the bovine.
