Hypermodern Opening Repertoire For White (Cardoza Publishing's Essential Opening Repertoire Series)

This complete repertoire shows White how to reject the classical principles of opening play; instead of placing pawns in the center, White allows Black to build the "ideal" pawn center. As Black tries to hold the center, White prepares to smash the center apart with Black's slightest mistake. Plentiful diagrams and explanations illustrate every concept, with games from the greatest players showing the principles in action. Includes the Reti, English, and Anti-Benoni, openings that lead to lively games with brilliant sacrificial play.
