About this product

Sometimes a sound understanding of chess is not enough, because opening traps lurk everywhere, relying on the unwary making "normal" moves -- developing a piece, making a capture, setting or parrying a threat. However after that the reply is mainly an unusual and therefore an unexpected one -- a sacrifice, a piece moves to an unusual square or an expected recapture is omitted in favor of another, better move.

In this work, the authors have a twofold aim in view; if you wish, you can master the traps within the area of your own openings, but you can also systematically attempt to extend your opening repertoire in order to set some traps yourself.
