Во все времена любители шахмат задавались вопросом, как победить более сильного или более квалифицированного соперника?

Но, начав применять новую, универсальную систему игры за черных, у вас это получится! И причина проста: оригинальность построения не даст вашему сопернику ни одного классического ориентира. Все предыдущие его знания о теории шахмат в данном дебюте не помогут! Особенно хороший результат ждет тех, кто будет применять этот дебют в рапид и блиц. Потому что в этих дисциплинах времени на “опровержение” дебюта Эльшада у соперника не будет вовсе. Парадоксальная система игры в этом дебюте основана, тем не менее, на базовых принципах позиционной игры, а значит доступна для осмысления любому. В дебюте Эльшада уже повержены многие известные шахматисты. В этой книге приводятся победы над гроссмейстерами И.Наумкиным, М.Бродским, Р.Джумабаевым, А.Вулем, А.Кашлинской. “Когда я увидел этот шедевр фантазии шахматного мозга впервые, то был просто поражен... Я начал играть его на ICC и с очень даже неплохими резу- льтатами…”, - пишет об этом универсальном дебютном оружии в предисловии к книге международный гроссмейстер Игорь Коваленко, обладатель 17-го рейтинга в мире по быстрым шахматам.
