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! The highly acclaimed Secrets of Opening Surprises series provides intermediate chess players with perfectly playable, easily digestible opening ideas: deviations from main line opening theory in a very early stage of the game (usually before move six). Anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of the chess opening will be able to apply these SOS-ideas in an actual game. There is no need to study large quantities of stuffy theory and there is an almost immediate return on the investment of a limited amount of time! Readers of SOS will baffle their opponents, gain crucial time, and stand a good chance to get an advantage in the game.\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e Jeroen Bosch is an International Master and a prolific chess writer for various chess publications.
