Guide to the Torre Attack

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful
Review: Typically wonderful GAMBIT opening work, that benefits from the excellent writing and insights of Graham Burgess. He is such a good writer, that I play lines just because he wrote a book on them! (the Taimanov Sicilian is another example). There is a 30 pages strategic introduction that is just amazing. The book is set out by lines and variations, and always lots of explanations too. Just a great book. Combine it with Varnusz' Play Anti-Indian Systems and Summerscale's Killer Chess Opening Repertoire and you are set with the white pieces. (Then, as black you buy Burgess' books on the Slav and the Taimanov and you are set there too!)
