Winning With The Bishop's Opening

For sale is Winning with the Bishop's Opening by Gary Lane — Very Good Condition — Softcover (Batsford Chess Library,).This is a full repertoire book built around one of chess's more underrated tries for White — the Bishop's Opening lets White dictate the character of the game from move two, sidestepping heavily analyzed main lines in favor of positions where understanding the ideas matters more than memorizing forced theory. Lane draws on games popularized by strong grandmasters, including John Nunn, Michael Adams, and Bent Larsen, all of whom have used the opening to real effect at the top level. The book covers every major branch an opponent might throw at you — Paulsen's Defence, the Closed Giuoco Piano, the Italian Game, the Closed Two Knights Defence, the Urusov Gambit, the Boden-Kieseritzky Gambit, and the assorted unusual tries besides — with fully annotated games throughout rather than dry theory dumps.For a club or tournament player looking for a practical weapon that avoids the deepest-analyzed Ruy Lopez and Italian battlegrounds, this is a well-regarded, focused resource from an author who's both a strong titled player and a longtime chess coach.Very Good — softcover, light scattered spotting on the front cover consistent with age, pages clean, binding solid throughout.

Condition: Very Good.
