Beating Unusual Chess Openings is a godsend to those chess players fed up with struggling against all opening moves other than White?s main two: 1 e4 and 1 d4. From the respectable (English Opening, Réti and King?s Indian Attack) through to theoffbeat (Nimzo-Larsen Attack, Bird?s Opening) and the totally bizarre (Orang-Utan, Grob); everything Black needs to know about facing unusual openings is covered within these pages. Richard Palliser gets to grips with all of White's possibilities, examining their strengths and weaknesses and in turn organizing a reliable and practical repertoire for Black.
