This is characterized by an early advance f2-f3, after which the white pawn supports both the center and a kingside pawn storm by g4 and h4. Black reacts to the aggressive intentions of his opponent with a counterattack on the queenside, making full use of the open c-file for his rook and the long h8-a1 diagonal for his mighty Dragon bishop.

An exciting cut-and-thrust game follows in which the winner is often the one who checkmates first!

Whether playing the White or Black side, no competitive player--at club or tournament level--can afford to be without this book.
