There are different kinds of classics. There are museum classics, like those dead languages, which are still studied, but which no one any longer speaks.

And there are living classics, which are constantly being renewed; these are ‘languages’ which every succeeding generation ‘speaks’ in its own way, enriching and passing them on to their descendants.

Chess in general and opening theory in particular are no exceptions to the general rule.

The first volume gives a detailed and high-quality analysis of the Veresov Opening, the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, the Levitsky Variation and other set-ups.

The second volume is devoted to the London Variation and openings named in honour of Zukertort, Torre, Colle and others.

In general only one thing is demanded of the reader: a desire. A desire to avoid well-trodden opening set-ups, and a desire to try something new.

Do away with routine play! If you have such a desire, this two-volume work will become an indispensable assistant in your aim for creative experiments.

And for victory!

Eduard Gufeld: "The main of the King’s Indian Defence (or more precisely, the King’s Indian Attack!) if a battle against Wight’s pawn center with pieces, which must have the timely support of pawn counter. The King’s Indian Defence is an asymmetric opening! Black’s strategy is based on disrupting the opponent’s plans, and at the same time at an early stage of the opening Black tries to implement his own plan of counterplay. For this reason the King’s Indian Defence should be studied exclusively as a transition process from opening to middlegame. Hence a large part of this book comprises games which enable this link to be traced"

Anatoly Karpov: «The third volume of this work contains games form several matches in which I have participated. I can say that every such match is a tough experience demanding a great expenditure of mental and physical effort. For the champion to be victorious, his purely chess skill, knowledge and memory are not always sufficient – these qualities are also possessed by his opponent, who has defeated his rivals in a succession of qualifying competitions. But even so, it is more often the existing champion who wins… This is why, until very recently, there had been very few of them – only thirteen. Now the chess world is witnessing the birth of a new system for conducting the world championship, in which it would seem that the element of luck will play a significant role. This has been explained by the increasing tempo of life, and by the need to make chess a more attractive spectacle for those who do not understand the deep meaning of chess moves. It will be a pity if future champions do not become genuine idols for those who value our wonderful game, to whom this absorbing book is addressed»

It goes without saying that many successful opening novelties employed by the venerable world chess champion are the result of painstaking work performed by him and his seconds.
